The lift was consistent across every Toast location. Not one outlier pulling the average up — all four operating locations saw higher in-store spend per guest in the 90 days after launch. That consistency points to menu design as the driver, not local factors or seasonality.

$127.7K Generated by Higher Spend Per Guest

Post-launch guest count × increase in spend per guest, by location.

Bay Shore $39,151; Long Beach $30,940; Patchogue $23,392; Port Jefferson Station $34,193.

Calculated as: (post-launch spend per guest − pre-launch spend per guest) × post-launch in-store guest count. Does not account for changes in guest traffic volume.
