BOSTON, March 10 — Toast (NYSE: TOST), the digital technology platform built for hospitality, today announced that Teriyaki Madness (TMAD), the fast-growing Seattle-style fast casual teriyaki franchise, will implement Toast’s enterprise technology suite across its expanding footprint of over 200 locations nationwide.
Teriyaki Madness is known for its crazy-delicious, cooked-to-order teriyaki bowls and commitment to satisfying guests through premium marinated proteins, fresh vegetables, and bold signature sauces, including several gluten-free options. The menu emphasizes high-quality ingredients and customizable combinations that deliver unbeatable flavor in every bowl. As the brand eyes further expansion, TMAD sought a long-term partner capable of supporting both corporate scaling and the individual success of its franchisees. To keep up with growing demand, TMAD will implement the Toast platform along with Toast Flex hardware Toast Kitchen Display Systems (KDS), while leveraging Toast’s partner ecosystem to connect their full tech stack seamlessly.
