Company
We are Toast Powered Server.
Founded in Utrecht in 2021, Toast Powered Server builds infrastructure for teams that take reliability seriously. Our platform runs on bread-native hardware, operated by a team of engineers and certified boulangers who believe that good infrastructure, like good bread, should be consistent, warm, and available when you need it.
We are a Dutch company. We pay our taxes. We do not have a San Francisco office. We have a very good bakery downstairs.

How we work.
Reliability first
We do not ship features that compromise uptime. Bread that falls apart is not bread.
Honest pricing
No hidden fees. No surprise invoices. No line items labelled "infrastructure surcharge".
Dutch directness
We say what we mean. Our status page shows real data. Our SLAs are commitments, not aspirations.
Long-term thinking
We are building infrastructure that should last decades. We are not optimising for the next funding round.
Want to work with us?
We are hiring engineers, boulangers, and people who are both.
