About

Mr. Coffee is an iconic American drip coffee maker brand best known for bringing automatic drip coffee machines to American households in 1972 — before Mr. Coffee, most home coffee was made with percolators or instant coffee. Founded by Ernie Melitta and Vincent Marotta in Cleveland, Ohio, Mr. Coffee was acquired by Sunbeam Products (now Newell Brands) and has remained one of the most recognized names in home coffee brewing, though the brand faces intensifying competition from single-serve machines and premium coffee devices.

About

Toast was founded in 2011 in Boston with the mission of building an all-in-one technology platform purpose-built for the restaurant industry. Unlike generic point-of-sale vendors that adapted retail software for food service, Toast designed its hardware, software, and payments stack from the ground up around restaurant workflows — table management, kitchen display systems, online ordering, payroll, and inventory unified in a single cloud platform.\n\nToast's product suite covers the full restaurant operating stack: POS terminals and handheld order devices, kitchen display screens, Toast Go handhelds for tableside payments, online ordering and delivery integrations, catering management, payroll and scheduling, and xtraCHEF for back-of-house food cost analytics. The platform serves independent restaurants, multi-location chains, quick-service concepts, and enterprise groups. Its open API allows integrations with hundreds of third-party tools, and the Toast for Enterprise tier serves national brands with centralized menu and reporting management.\n\nAs of Q3 2025, Toast reported $1.63 billion in quarterly revenue, up 25.1% year-over-year, with annualized recurring revenue exceeding $2 billion and gross payment volume of $159.1 billion for fiscal 2024. The company serves more than 156,000 restaurant locations globally and trades on the NYSE under the ticker TOST. Toast's vertical focus and deep restaurant-specific functionality give it a durable competitive moat against horizontal POS vendors.
