Why the catering industry needs a POS system

You may have run a successful café with a notepad for years. Or maybe you have an old-fashioned cash register in use in your restaurant. No? Neither? Then only one option remains: you use a POS cash register system.

Every catering business is different, but if you want to continue to grow, it is necessary to work as efficiently and streamlined as possible. With a POS cash register system in the cloud, you can manage your entire catering business. From order to payment. It is aimed at you being able to focus on growth and customer service.

How can a POS cash register system grow your café or restaurant?

Determine the setup

Let guests settle where they want. Connect your POS system with a mobile pin device and print your own designed receipt. Everything is possible from your iPad or iPhone. In your café, on the terrace, on the market or even in a food truck.

Lightspeed adapts to your plans. Whether you want to give the controls an iPad or prefer a traditional setup.

Offer the best service and get to know your guests

“Good evening Tom! Nice to see you again. Can I pour a gin and tonic for you again? “Top right? If you can welcome your customers in your café in this way? With Lightspeed’s POS cash register system you can create customer profiles. This allows you to take specific actions: invite people for a tasting or lure them with special evenings. Knowing what the customer wants always works to your advantage.

Make the right choices for your menu and company
