How do I repay my Toast Capital Loan?

Loan repayments are automated as a fixed percentage of daily card transactions processed through Toast. This means repayment flexes with restaurant sales volume so when sales are slower, you will repay less than on busy days. Toast Capital Loans offer different target repayment terms ranging from 90 days to 360 days, depending on eligibility. The maximum repayment term is 60 days following the end of the target repayment term. Any outstanding balance due at the end of the maximum term will be collected automatically via ACH.

If you select a 270- or 360-day target term, and you are provided with a Repayment Milestone Schedule with your Credit Agreement, then, every 30 days during the term, your total payments to date must equal the minimum amount disclosed to you. If they fall short, the difference may be collected via ACH.
