FAQS


WHAT IS A RESTAURANT POS SYSTEM?

A restaurant POS system is the hardware and software restaurants use to take
orders, track inventory, take payments and manage operations in the front and
back of house. There are a lot of different POS systems on the market, but the
two main categories are legacy systems—which store data locally, usually on
proprietary hardware—and cloud-based systems, which store data in the cloud. The
latter gives restaurant owners and managers a lot more flexibility and
accessibility, which is why cloud-based systems are quickly gaining in
popularity.


WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE LIGHTSPEED OVER ANOTHER RESTAURANT POS?

Lightspeed Restaurant POS is built for speed and helps restaurants optimize
their operations with an easy-to-use cloud-based solution that's 40% faster on
average than other leading restaurant POS systems in North America.*

With Lightspeed, restaurants get a customizable, user-friendly interface, access
to in-depth data and reports, and 24/7 phone and chat support from our in-house
support teams. They also get built-in tools and integrations designed to
simplify operations, maximize revenue, reach new customers and improve the
customer experience.

- Take payments in-person and online with an embedded payment processor
- Give customers a seamless experience with shared customer data across
locations
- Build the perfect restaurant system for your needs with our vast partner
network and integrations
- Built-in sales and marketing tools to connect directly with your desired
audience
- A deep set of reporting and business intelligence tools that enable you to
optimize your menu and staff performance
- A complete set of inventory management tools

Compare Lightspeed's features with those of our competitors and check out our
reviews to choose the best POS for your restaurant.


DOES LIGHTSPEED RESTAURANT POS WORK OFFLINE IF MY INTERNET GOES DOWN?

Yes, Lightspeed's restaurant software will continue to work offline if you're
having connectivity issues. All data entered while offline is stored locally on
the device and automatically uploaded to the cloud as soon as the connection is
re-established.

NOTE: This does not apply to master data maintenance and ecloud evaluations that
can only be used with an existing Internet connection.


CAN I MANAGE MULTIPLE RESTAURANT LOCATIONS WITH LIGHTSPEED RESTAURANT POS?

Yes, Lightspeed lets you manage as many locations as you want, all from one
restaurant POS system. Easily keep track of guest data and reports across
locations and change all menus in a few clicks within a single unified platform.

Learn more about Lightspeed's multi-location restaurant POS.


DOES LIGHTSPEED'S RESTAURANT POINT OF SALE WORK FOR HOTEL RESTAURANTS?

Yes, Lightspeed's customizable solution lets you plug in your hotel PMS to your
restaurant POS system and seamlessly manage multiple revenue centers. With
Lightspeed, hotels can fully customize their floor plans to accurately reflect
their hotel restaurant, monitor their entire business and offer guests
charge-to-room options.

Learn more about using Lightspeed for your hotel POS system.


WHAT PAYMENT PROCESSORS DO RESTAURANT POS SYSTEMS USE?

Restaurant POS systems process credit and debit card transactions via a payment
processor, which works as an intermediary between the customer’s and the
restaurant’s bank. Payments can be integrated, non-integrated or embedded. An
embedded payment processor is natively built into a restaurant POS system to
create a seamless checkout workflow.

Restaurants that operate using the embedded model own every part of the customer
journey, ensuring a streamlined experience from ordering to the pos system to
checkout. Lightspeed Payments is an embedded payment processor. Learn more about
the difference between integrated, non-integrated and embedded payments here.

The processing rates charged by payment processors vary widely depending on the
provider, transaction volume and sometimes the average transaction amount.
Generally, these rates are structured as a percentage of the transaction amount
plus a fixed fee per transaction. When choosing a payment processor, be sure to
ask about any additional fees or markups.

With Lightspeed Payments, restaurants save money with flat-rate pricing and no
hidden fees. Since switching to Lightspeed Payments, Wander the Resort in Prince
Edward County saves hundreds of dollars a month in processing fees. Learn more
about Lightspeed Restaurant payment processing.


WHAT DOES LIGHTSPEED RESTAURANT POS INTEGRATE WITH?

Lightspeed has a vast network of partners offering best-in-class tools that
seamlessly integrate with Lightspeed's POS system, enabling you to run your
restaurant at full capacity. From optimizing your schedule and controlling labor
costs with 7shifts to managing reservations and expanding your market reach with
OpenTable, there's a partner integration for just about any challenge you have
in your restaurant.

Think of integrations as à la carte options—as your business grows and your
needs become more complex, you can connect the third-party tools you want to use
to your Lightspeed Restaurant POS. This way, you have an integrated system and
one tech stack to manage, rather than a bunch of disconnected systems to juggle.
Learn more about Lightspeed Restaurant integrations.


HOW MUCH DOES LIGHTSPEED RESTAURANT POS COST?

Lightspeed Restaurant's pricing varies relative to the subscription you want to
use. If you're looking for a restaurant POS system for a single location with
straightforward operations, we have a Starter plan that could be the perfect fit
for you. If you have multiple locations or omni-channel needs, our Essential or
Premium plans will give you the features and benefits you need to streamline and
simplify your operations.
