Overview

What is Lightspeed Restaurant?

Lightspeed Restaurant is a cloud-based point-of-sale system for full and quick service restaurants, bars and nightclubs, hotels and cafes. It lets you run the restaurant from an iPad with menu and floor plan management, ordering and payments (send orders to the kitchen or bar, fire courses, split or combine bills, tip signatures on the iPad) and an offline mode that keeps working when the internet is down.
