Toast announced a new alliance partnership with Preferred Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest independent hotel brand. The partnership positions Toast as a recommended provider of point‑of‑sale, hardware, and payments technology for the brand’s portfolio of independent luxury properties.
The alliance covers member properties in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, and Canada, giving Toast access to more than 625 hotels, resorts, residences, and unique hotel groups in over 80 countries. The partnership expands Toast’s footprint into the hospitality sector, adding a new customer base that operates a diverse range of luxury accommodations.
By joining Preferred Hotels & Resorts’ Alliance Partner Program, Toast will deliver its integrated POS platform, handheld devices, and payment processing solutions to support food, beverage, and retail operations across the brand’s properties. The move is part of Toast’s strategy to leverage its existing technology platform for broader hospitality applications and to diversify revenue beyond its core restaurant business.
The partnership is a strategic expansion into the independent luxury hotel market, a segment that offers higher‑value contracts and a showcase for Toast’s advanced capabilities, such as its handheld POS devices with LTE connectivity. The deal also strengthens Toast’s competitive positioning against providers that focus on narrower niches, positioning the company as a comprehensive technology partner for the entire hospitality ecosystem.
While the announcement does not include specific financial projections or rollout timelines, the partnership signals Toast’s intent to broaden its customer base and revenue streams. The alliance is a major operational milestone that could enhance the company’s long‑term growth prospects and reinforce its market presence in the hospitality sector.
