The challenge

Toast's distributed engineering team builds APIs for point of sale, payments, supplier management, and digital ordering. Learning an unfamiliar API previously meant losing time reading source code, and duplicate work spread across teams.

The solution

Toast adopted Postman Collections and Workspaces, using pre-request and post-request scripts so engineers could discover, share, and reuse APIs across a distributed organization.

Postman's impact on how we build software at Toast has been huge. Not only has it saved time; it has enabled a massively distributed group of people to act as one team.
