  1. Imagine a restaurant using Toast for online ordering and another using Toast for in-person POS. How would you design a unified customer profile system that accurately merges or distinguishes orders and customer data across these two channels, considering potential data inconsistencies?

    Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Evaluates the ability to design scalable and robust distributed systems, handle data reconciliation, and think about user experience implications of data architecture.

  2. A new restaurant client reports their Toast online ordering page is loading very slowly, especially during peak lunch hours. What debugging steps would you take, and what potential backend and frontend issues would you investigate first?

    Software EngineerDebuggingTests: Assesses problem solving skills, methodical debugging approach, and knowledge of web application performance bottlenecks.

  3. Toast's platform handles millions of transactions daily. Describe how you would architect a notification system to alert restaurant staff about new online orders with low latency and high reliability, considering potential network issues or service outages.

    Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Tests understanding of real-time systems, message queues, fault tolerance, and handling high throughput.

  4. You're tasked with building a feature that allows restaurants to offer personalized discounts based on past order history. How would you approach designing the API endpoints and data models to support this, considering performance and data privacy?

    Software EngineerAPI DesignTests: Evaluates skills in designing efficient and secure APIs, data modeling, and understanding business requirements.

  5. A restaurant is experiencing intermittent failures when trying to process credit card payments through Toast. Walk me through your debugging process, from identifying the scope of the problem to pinpointing the root cause (e.g., integration with a payment gateway, Toast's internal service, or the restaurant's network).

    Software EngineerDebuggingTests: Probes diagnostic capabilities, understanding of external integrations, and ability to isolate complex issues.

  6. Toast's POS system needs to handle concurrent updates to menu items by multiple users (e.g., a manager and a server). How would you design the data consistency and concurrency control mechanisms to prevent race conditions and ensure data integrity?

    Software EngineerConcurrency ControlTests: Assesses knowledge of database concurrency models, locking mechanisms, and strategies for maintaining data integrity in multi-user environments.
