Great hospitality is built in hundreds of small moments. A perfectly timed drink. A server who knows exactly what's happening at their tables. A team that moves seamlessly through a busy service. But delivering that experience is getting harder. At our #LightspeedEdge London product event, our Head of Marketing, Cristina Astorri, highlighted a challenge many operators know all too well: finding, training, and retaining great staff. In fact, 30% of UK restaurants say staffing is one of their biggest challenges right now*. When teams are stretched, every second matters. Your staff need speed in every interaction, simplicity in every action, and clarity at every step. That's why we've been focused on building tools that help teams spend less time navigating systems and more time serving guests. 📱 Lightspeed Tableside A mobile ePOS that lets servers take orders and payments from anywhere in the restaurant. Orders reach the kitchen instantly, bills can be split on the spot, and the experience is consistent across iPhone and iPad—making onboarding and training faster. ⏱️ Lightspeed Tempo Our new table-pacing tool designed to bring more visibility to service. See exactly how every table moves through the dining experience, identify bottlenecks, allocate staff more effectively, and coach teams with real operational insights. ✅ Lightspeed Tasks Now available in the Lightspeed Pulse app. Assign tasks, track completion, and give every team member—from seasoned staff to new starters—a clearer path to success. Because improving service isn't about asking teams to work harder. It's about giving them the tools, visibility, and confidence to deliver their best work, every shift. *Customer survey conducted among a sample of 74 UK Lightspeed customers in February 2026. #HospitalityTech #Lightspeed
