Not only by working more efficiently, but also by generating additional revenue and improving the guest experience."

Digital tools such as QR codes and menu engineering offer a solution for hospitality businesses struggling with staff shortages or suffering from rising commodity prices.

Both for our staff and from the back office perspective, Lightspeed is very straightforward. It is intuitive, has a pleasant user interface and is easy to work with. If you're in a growth phase, it's also easy to start up a new site: using a backup of an existing site as a template, you're launched in half an afternoon."
