Through your Toast account, you are eligible to utilize the Scheduling Lite or Scheduling Pro version of Sling. This page explains what data syncs for this integration, how to create a new Sling account for the integration, or how to connect your existing Sling account to your Toast account.

Jump to Connect Sling to Toast if You Already Have a Sling Account

Send employee information -- names, positions, locations, and wages -- created on Toast to Sling. Keep Sling up-to-date by adding or editing employee details in your Toast account.

Please note that Sling communicates with Toasttab, not with Toast Payroll.

Please note as well that with Scheduling Lite, only the employee data will sync from Toastweb to Sling; all other functions listed below are included with the Scheduling Pro subscription.

Send timecards created on Toast to Sling, compare the scheduled and actual hours and costs, analyze discrepancies, and export timesheets for processing payroll as if the time tracking were performed on Sling.

Timesheet details will now sync in real time! This means any time your time clock data changes in Toast, the details will be synced with Sling immediately. Timesheets also sync bidirectionally. What that means is that employees may clock into their shifts using Toast POS or Sling's time clock! Time clock settings must be aligned for both accounts in order for the integration to work properly.

Send sales data straight from your Toast POS to Sling, compare projected and actual sales and labor %, and optimize the cost of labor by building better employee schedules that respect the margins you are after.

1. Login to your Toastweb account, and select Scheduling from the left-side navigation bar.

Please note: if you do not see Scheduling in your left sidebar then this may mean you do not have the necessary permissions to modify this part of the account. Please request that your Toastweb account administrator make this change.

2. Click to Connect, and select the location you would like to integrate with Sling.

3. If you do not already have a Sling account created, you will create an account at this step. If you already have a Sling account, please proceed to step 7.

Please note: The version of Sling you have access to use will depend on the type of subscription you have for either Scheduling Lite or Scheduling Pro. If you're not sure which version of Sling you're entitled to, please contact help@getsling.com or reach out to your Toast representative for clarification.

4. Create your account using the same email you use for Toasttab.

5. Confirm you would like to connect your Toast account to Sling. This can be reversed at a later time if you ever wish to disconnect your Toast account from Sling

6. After a few seconds of the two applications syncing, you will see a message confirming that the Toast-Sling integration is complete. By clicking on the > arrow you will be able to watch an introductory video on how to navigate the basic functions of Sling.

7. Since you already have a Sling account created, you will select "Connect to existing Sling account".

8. Once logged in, you will be asked to confirm that you would like to integrate your Toast and Sling accounts

9. Once connected, you will be prompted to map any existing Sling locations to the Toast location you are trying to add. If this is a new location in Sling, select "It's a new location."

10. Similarly, you will be asked to specify which employees from Toast need to correspond to existing Sling employee profiles. If these employees do not yet exist in Sling, you will select "It's a new employee".

11. After a few seconds of the two applications syncing, you will see a message confirming that the Toast-Sling integration is complete. By clicking on the > arrow you will be able to watch an introductory video on how to navigate the basic functions of Sling.

Congratulations – your Toast and Sling accounts are connected! 🎉

Back in Toastweb, on the Scheduling page, you will now see the location that you just synced with Sling labeled as "Connected."

If you ever need to refresh the connection, you'll click on the 3-dot option for the location > Disconnect.
