14-day free trial · No card required
The manager dashboard. Live contests, live standings, one location at a time.
How it works
-
Connect your POS
Link your restaurant's POS — Toast, Clover, or Square — and sales start flowing into Highlight.
-
Run contests
Managers set up a contest in minutes: what counts, how long it runs, and what the team is playing for.
-
Team earns
Servers and bartenders earn points for real sales as they happen, and watch the standings move in the locker room.
-
Settle & reward
When the contest ends, the manager settles it, approves the results, and the winners get their rewards.
Everything your team needs to play
-
Sales contests
Run contests on the sales that matter — a dish, a category, a shift, a week. Set the rules, set the prize, and let the team play.
-
Points & rewards
Every sale earns points. Points become rewards the team actually wants. The scoreboard does the motivating.
-
Locker room
A shared space for the team. Standings, results, and the current contest — everything in one place, visible to everyone playing.
-
Manager dashboard
Rosters, reporting, contest settle, and approvals. Managers run their location from one screen, with nothing extra to install.
-
Multi-location
One company, many locations. Each location runs its own contests and sees its own team, under one company account.
-
Roles & permissions
Four roles, scoped by location. Super Admin, company Admin, Manager, and Team Member — everyone sees only what they should.
Works with your POS.
Highlight connects to the POS you already run — Toast, Clover, or Square. Pick the setup that fits your restaurant today.
-
CSV upload
Export your sales from Toast Web and upload the file. Manual, simple, and proven with real restaurant data.
-
Standard API

-
Toast Partner Program
A marketplace listing with click-to-connect is in progress. For now, start with CSV or the Standard API and switch when it ships.
-

Built by an operator, for operators.
Highlight was built by Juan Ottaviani, Director of Operations at SuViche Hospitality Group. He built it for his own teams first, because the tools he wanted did not exist. It is piloted across four Novecento locations — Aventura, Delray Beach, Doral, and Mary Brickell Village. Its first customer is the group that built it — running as a free design partner.
Frequently asked questions
What is Highlight?
Highlight is a gamification platform for restaurant teams. Managers run sales contests, servers and bartenders earn points for real sales, and points become rewards.
How does Highlight connect to Toast?
Two ways to connect: upload a CSV export from Toast Web, or connect the Standard API with credentials you create in Toast Web for automatic sync. The Standard API is available for pilot customers. A Toast Partner Program marketplace listing with click-to-connect is in progress.
Does Highlight work with Clover or Square?
Yes. Clover and Square connect by OAuth — your restaurant authorizes Highlight's app and sales sync automatically. Both are available for pilot customers. Toast connects by CSV upload or the Standard API.
How much does Highlight cost?
$99 per location per month, flat. There is no per-user fee and no setup fee.
How does the free trial work?
You get 14 days free, and we never ask for a card. Try it with your real team and your real sales. If it is not for you, it simply ends.
Do staff need a work email to join?
No. Team members join with the email address they already use. There is no company email requirement.
Who sees what?
Access is scoped by role and location. A Team Member sees their own location. A Manager sees their one location. A company Admin sees only their company. The Super Admin is the platform owner.
How does a contest end?
When a contest ends, the manager settles it in the dashboard, reviews the results, and approves them. Then the winners receive their rewards.
What happens after the trial?
If you do nothing, your trial ends and your account stops. If you want to keep going, add billing and your contests, points, and history stay in place.
