New menus webhook indicates changed menus

The new menus webhook sends a message when a restaurant that uses your integration publishes a change to its menus. The message payload includes the GUID of the affected restaurant and a timestamp, in the UTC time zone, for when the restaurant last published its menus. For more information, see Menus webhook.

The new menus webhook is now the best way to determine when the menu data for a restaurant becomes stale. Toast support recommends that you use the menus webhook as a primary indicator and use the /metadata endpoint of the menus API as a fallback method. For example, your integration could check the /metadata endpoint every 30 minutes, to make sure that you have not missed a webhook message.
