      summary: Toast Get Menu Last Modified Timestamp
      description: A lightweight endpoint that allows you to determine if a restaurant's menu data has been updated. Toast support strongly recommends that you do not make a call to the `/menus` endpoint unless the date and time returned by the `/metadata` endpoint is more recent than the `lastUpdated` date and time. While this recommendation applies to all clients of the menus API, it is particularly important for clients that have limited bandwidth.
