How it works
- Maple sends each online order directly to Toast (Orders API) and prices it through Toast so the charged total always matches the Toast check.
- The guest pays via Toast Hosted Checkout; funds settle into your Toast deposit account.
- Delivery is handled outside Toast. For Maple-managed delivery, Maple computes the fee and puts it, plus the driver tip, on your Maple Delivery open-amount service charge. For your own drivers, Toast sets the fee from the delivery service charges you select — optional; with none selected, delivery is free — and the driver tip is added to the order’s tip.
Order types
Maple-managed delivery is sent as Take Out because, from the kitchen’s perspective, a courier
picks it up — exactly how DoorDash/Uber Eats marketplace orders arrive in Toast. Your own deliveries
are sent as real Delivery orders so they appear in your Toast delivery reporting.
What to set up in Toast Web
You’ll create dining options in Toast, a Maple Delivery service charge for Maple-managed delivery, and (only if you charge for your own drivers) delivery service charges. Then map them during Maple onboarding. Names are not shown to guests — they’re for your reporting.1
Dining options (Toast Web → Dining Options)
- A Take Out dining option (required) — used for pickup and Maple-managed delivery.
- A Delivery dining option (required only if you offer your own / BYOF delivery).
- Recommended: a second Take Out dining option named “Maple Courier” so your kitchen can tell a Maple-fleet courier order apart from a regular guest pickup. Optional — if you skip it, Maple-managed orders use your standard Take Out option.

Service charge — "Maple Delivery" (required for Maple-managed delivery)
In Toast Web, go to Finance → Related → Settings → Service charges & fees and create a service charge
with these settings
(Customize Service Charges and Mandatory Gratuity):
- Name: Maple Delivery (for your reporting — guests don’t see it)
- Charge Type: Open Amount (Maple sends the exact amount on each order)
- Apply After Amount Threshold: $0.00
- Assign to check owner (Gratuity)?: No, Assign the fee to the restaurant.
- Taxed?: No
- Delivery?: No
- Takeout?: No
- Dine-In?: No
This charge is Maple’s delivery fee + driver tip, not your revenue. It appears on your Toast check
and deposits into your Toast account; Maple then bills the same amount to your card on file in its
weekly delivery billing, so it nets out. It is not a gratuity and not taxed, so it never enters
your tip pool or payroll.
3
Service charges for your own drivers (optional)
Optional. Merchants who deliver for free — for example inside a small zone with no Toast delivery
service charges — can finish setup without selecting one. Those orders are placed with no delivery
fee, and Maple shows a warning that no fees will be applied.To charge for delivery, follow
Configure Delivery Fees Using Your Own Drivers
to create one or more delivery service charges (for example BYOF Delivery Fee) with:
- Charge Type: Fixed Amount or Fixed Percent (Toast doesn’t allow Open Amount delivery charges; Toast sets the amount)
- Assign to check owner (Gratuity)?: No, Assign the fee to the restaurant.
- Taxed?: per your normal delivery-fee tax treatment
- Delivery?: Yes

Connect in Maple and map your options
In Maple onboarding, select the dining options, the Maple Delivery service charge, and any
your-drivers service charges you created above. Maple validates them against Toast and will flag anything
misconfigured before you go live. You can change these later under Location → Integrations →
Toast.
Going live
Once mapped and validated, place a test order of each type (pickup, Maple-managed delivery, and — if you use it — self-managed delivery) and confirm each appears correctly in Toast with the right charge.Menu sync
- Menu items, prices, modifiers, options and categories import as you set them up in Toast
- Items you 86 in Toast stop being offered on calls
- Menu changes you publish in Toast reach Maple automatically, and you can also resync the menu from the Maple dashboard
- Items hidden in Toast are not synced
Menu changes must be made in Toast.
Payments
- Guests pay through Toast Hosted Checkout, and funds settle into your Toast deposit account
- Delivery is paid when the order is placed; pickup can be paid on the call or in store if you allow it
Disconnecting Toast
- Remove Maple in Toast Partner Connect
- Toast sends a partner removal notice, and Maple turns off the Toast integration for that location
