TST* means you paid a restaurant, cafe or bar on its Toast terminal. Toast is built for restaurants, so the name after the star is where you ate or drank, not a charge from Toast.

How Even Margin handles it
Even Margin treats it as the restaurant, so a client lunch can land in Meals.
Why is the restaurant's name cut short after TST*?
Banks allow only so many characters on a line, so a long restaurant name is shortened to fit. The date and the amount usually tell you which visit it was.
Is a TST* lunch with a client a meal?
Yes, Meals is its category. Even Margin treats the line as the restaurant and uses your bank's category for it, so a client lunch can land in Meals with nothing for you to do.
