Lightspeed Restaurant

Lightspeed Restaurant is the POS app from Canadian editor Lightspeed Commerce, present in France with a site, sales team, and pricing in euros. The grid published on the French site has three monthly plans: Basic at EUR 89/month with one license, order taking, payment, and basic reports; Core at EUR 159/month with two licenses, stock management, and advanced analytics; Pro at EUR 249/month with three licenses, multi-site control, comparative data, and online ordering. Each additional POS is charged at EUR 49/month. Optional modules (kitchen display, tableside ordering from the customer's mobile, reservations) are billed separately, and Lightspeed Payments sits outside the subscription entirely: it is a commission on each card transaction, quoted on request. The editor claims roughly 144,000 locations equipped worldwide.

Lightspeed Restaurant K-Series is certified under French VAT anti-fraud law (NF525) by AFNOR Certification through INFOCERT, an accredited third party rather than the editor itself: that is the strongest evidence to produce in a French tax audit. The certificate matters only if you operate in France; elsewhere the product is judged on its own merits, and the grid quoted here is the one published on the French site. A French-language interface, site, and phone support are available, with 24/7 chat support announced on all plans. The integration catalog exceeds fifty documented connections: reservation (Zenchef, TheFork, OpenTable), order and payment at table (Sunday, Obypay, Tabesto), scheduling (Skello, Combo, Shyfter), hotel PMS (Mews, Oracle Opera Cloud), and accounting (Pennylane, NetSuite, Chift). The limitations: the EUR 89/month entry price is steep for a single location, payment commissions are not public, and the Retail plan is not posted on the French site.
