US restaurant management platform Toast plans to create 100 jobs this year as it opens its new office on St Stephen’s Green in Dublin.
The company, which is headquartered in Boston, said the new jobs will be across several functions including software development, sales, and customer support.
Toast provides software and financial technology solutions to help them run their business across sales, marketing, loyalty, delivery and management.
Launched in 2012, it currently employs over 3,000 people across the United States, the UK, Ireland, Canada, and India.
It first opened a technology and product development centre in Dublin in 2017.
The new Irish jobs will be created across several functions, including software development, sales, and customer support.
“Toast originally chose to invest in Ireland largely for its concentration of high-level technical capability,” said senior vice-president of engineering Robert McGarry, who also leads the company’s operations in Ireland.
“Over the last several years, we’ve come to reap so many more benefits from our strategic investment here – ease of collaboration with other Toast teams, Irish hospitality, and more.
The company was actively hiring in Dublin as the business took off, reaching a $4.9bn valuation in February 2020. While Toast was initially burned by the pandemic’s impact on the restaurant industry, it recovered quickly as the appetite for online ordering grew. The company ended 2021 with an IPO valuing it at $33bn.
