What Lightspeed Restaurant says about its POS and kitchen screen

Lightspeed says Lightspeed Bump Screen lets a restaurant set up screens for each kitchen station and filter orders by source.¹ Lightspeed says every update made on the POS goes straight to Bump Screen, which keeps kitchen staff informed.¹ Lightspeed says Bump Screen gives real-time order tracking and time-based alerts, with colour-coded dockets for orders that need urgent attention.¹

On our rate card Lightspeed Restaurant: From $40/mo; card rate: Not published.

What Lightspeed says about QR code ordering

Lightspeed's blog describes me&u as a digital menu and ordering platform where guests view menus, place orders and pay from their phones.³ Lightspeed says me&u connects directly to the Lightspeed POS, so a venue can manage its menu, view reports and sync transaction data into its CRM.³ Lightspeed says me&u orders go straight to the kitchen or bar, which speeds up service by removing steps.³ Lightspeed says me&u's batching combines separate orders from one table into a single batch while guests still order and pay individually.³

What Lightspeed says about Lightspeed Payments

Lightspeed says Lightspeed Payments can process standalone transactions that are reported and settled with integrated ones.⁴ Lightspeed says Lightspeed Payments pays out the next day.⁴

What Lightspeed says about insights, integrations and funding

Lightspeed says a Deputy integration is available for Lightspeed Restaurant.⁵ Lightspeed's blog says Deputy combines staff and sales data to help build rosters, including each team member's sales volume.⁵ Lightspeed says Lightspeed Capital, its merchant cash advance program, is open only to eligible Lightspeed merchants.² Lightspeed says a Capital cash advance can be spent on any business expense and repaid only when the venue makes sales.² Lightspeed says a venue requests funding in the Financial Services section of its Back Office, and the balance is repaid through a share of daily card sales.²
