PEOPLE and Great Place To Work Name Toast to 2025 PEOPLE Companies that Care List

BOSTON, MA — Great Place To Work® and PEOPLE magazine have honored Toast as one of the 2025 PEOPLE® Companies that Care. This is Toast’s second time being named to this prestigious list. Earning a spot means that Toast has surpassed rigorous benchmarks, establishing itself as one of the best companies to work for in the country. 

The PEOPLE Companies that Care list is based on over 1.3 million employee survey responses and data from companies representing the experience of more than 8.4 million employees. Of those surveys, more than 1 million responses came from employees at companies eligible for this year’s list, and these rankings are based on that feedback.

Companies also submit essays that are validated by employee survey data to give a complete picture of the way an organization cares for its employees, its community, and the planet. To be considered for the list, companies must be Great Place To Work Certified™ and have at least 10 U.S. employees.

"For the second consecutive year, we are incredibly honored to be named to the 2025 PEOPLE Companies that Care list," said Mike Gutner, Chief People Officer. "This recognition is a testament to the dedication of our employees, who consistently demonstrate our core values and commitment to making a positive impact on the hospitality industry, our communities through our philanthropic efforts, and our own workplace culture."

The Companies that Care list is highly competitive. Survey responses reflect a comprehensive picture of the workplace experience. Honorees were selected based on their ability to care for employees, families, and the communities where they operate.

“Businesses are vital pillars in the communities where they operate,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “Caring for your people and your community isn’t something you do after you build a successful business; it’s how to make your business successful.” 

"Witnessing the innovative spirit with which these companies invest in their employees, communities, and the world is truly invigorating," says Charlotte Triggs, PEOPLE GM and editor-in-chief. "Their commitment reflects our mission, to feature what happens when ordinary people do extraordinary work."

Toast is certified as a Great Place to Work 2025 in Canada, India, Ireland, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Toast has also been named a Best Workplace in Tech in Ireland and a Top 100 Great Mid-size Workplace in India. Additionally, the company was also celebrated as a 2025 Best Place to Work in the United States, Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco by Built In.
