Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I have just assisted my long-time Lightspeed client in starting to use Lightspeed payments.
This site has three outlets.
William Lee Spencer Villaluz from Lightspeed was a very knowledgeable and res
ponsive assistant. William assisted and made the process, in a hectic business extremely seamless.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

We changed our POS system To EPOS NOW , because the company Lightspeed will deduct 1.5% from all your takings ( including cash) if you don't switch to their designated merchant. They have rehired the previous CEO, who is steering the company in a terribly aggressive and bullying direction. By the way .... Epos Now is proven to be a much easier to use system with all the features , and it is cheaper .........My advise is do not trade with the company Lightspeed .

Shobosho has been using lightspeed for a few months now. Nathan made the whole set up process so easy, the team was really helpful finding ways to set up the system how we would best like. Floor team working more efficiently than ever and everyone really enjoying the super user friendly interface. Thanks Nathan & the Lightspeed team!

Our current transition over to Lightspeed has been nothing short of exceptional.
Adam Kavangh is an absolute wizard and he has made everything so smooth, transparent and easy for us through the ent
ire process. Adam has gone above and beyond and we are thankful for his service, support and skills. We couldn’t have done this transition without his expertise :)

Terrible service and over withdrawal …

If there was no start I would choose it. I have been waiting for a call from lightspeed since 2 weeks ago and no one communicated. You have a terrible service and why overdrawing from business if you can't service. I'll cancel your service as soon as I find another provider. So disappointing.

not a fan of online support but it's the way most businesses are going - these guys at least do it well!

Hello, my experience with LightSpeed K series for our restaurant POS is a mixed bag if I'm honest, and being my first time setting up an entire POS system with only remote assistance (vs an onsite tech) to assist is the main difference and the reason my rating dropped to a three rather than a 4.5.

I'm no stranger to POS systems (I am to internet talk however, particularly cloud-based words and talk of servers and links) so another person may not have encountered the difficulties we did not the time lost due to it.
The shining stars of this review however are the personnel I dealt with at Lightspeed. Not the sales team, I mean the support team, Adam, our on-boarding specialist and others, Sam I believe his name was and another female tech, Angel both of whom spent at least a day if not longer on video call trouble shooting our issues, past 5pm and not once did I feel i was a burden though it was extremely burdensome imo.
Adam, who must have many clients at the one time was so involved with how we were tracking, often keeping me on track, always checking in post a 'fix' I'd asked him to cook up for me, great listener! Great teacher!
I really want to give a higher rating, read this review with a pinch of salt because I also believe we were trying to do more with the system than it was designed to do, hence mixed feelings.
I still believe for most operations the system is an ideal choice, easy to use, easy to modify, useful updates all the time and as much as I dislike 'chat' support features, these guys do it well. Thank you to our most patient and thorough lightspeed support team

Awesome Service & Product

Nathan helped us at Bootleg Brewery setup our Lightspeed system and was absolutely amazing. He was very patient with us as we had teething issues with our network.
Lightspeed is an awesome product, and I would highly recommend it has changed how we operate.

Above and beyond

I cannot recommend Adam enough as an onboarding manager! From start to finish, he went above and beyond to ensure our onboarding process with the POS system was seamless. He was incredibly responsive, answering countless texts—from early morning and through the day—just to make sure we were fully supported and confident at every step.

Adam’s attention to detail was remarkable. He proactively reminded us to complete key tasks before dead lines occurred, and we all know how great reminders are when opening a business from the ground up. This made all the difference in our smooth transition. No question was too small or too big—he handled my 101 questions (and then some!) with patience, professionalism, and a can-do attitude.

His commitment to our success truly stood out, and I’m so grateful for his support during such a critical time. If you’re lucky enough to have Adam as your onboarding manager, rest assured you’re in the best hands!

Just switched to Lightspeed POS for my café, and it's been a total game-changer. The system is really easy to use, and it's been making everything—orders, inventory, you name it—way smoother. Shoutout to Samuel B. who helped set everything up. He was super helpful and made sure everything was just right.
Overall, I'm really happy with it. It’s definitely making life easier, and I’d definitely recommend it to other café owners!

Amazing product and experience


As a small business owner, I wasn’t sure about switching to Lightspeed POS at first—it felt like a big commitment, and I wasn’t sure how easy it would be to get started. But honestly, I’m so glad I made the leap. The system has completely transformed the way we run things, saving us time and making everything so much smoother.

What really stood out, though, was the support I got during the setup process. Sam B. was an absolute gem—friendly, patient, and super knowledgeable. They walked me through everything step by step, answered all my (many) questions, and made what I thought would be a stressful process actually enjoyable.

Now that we’re up and running, I can’t imagine going back. Inventory is easier to manage, sales are seamless, and reporting is so much faster. If you’re considering Lightspeed, I’d say go for it—and if you get to work with Sam B., even better!

Smooth Transition and Outstanding Support

I couldn’t be happier with our decision to switch to the Lightspeed POS system for our café! The transition has been seamless, and the system itself has been a game-changer for our operations. From the moment we started the setup process, Sam from Lightspeed was incredibly thorough and helpful. He walked us through every step, making sure we understood all the features and how to optimize them for our specific needs. His attention to detail and patient support made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

Since implementing Lightspeed, we've been able to streamline and automate so many aspects of our day-to-day operations, from order management to inventory tracking, saving us time and reducing errors. The system is intuitive, fast, and has allowed us to focus more on providing excellent service to our customers. It’s truly transformed the way we run our café, and we’re seeing a noticeable improvement in efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Highly recommend Lightspeed, and a big shoutout to Samuel Burchfield for being such a fantastic resource throughout the whole process!
