| Integrations | The product connects with hotel PMS software, employee-management tools, loyalty programs and partners such as 7shifts and OpenTable. | The maker lists Stripe, DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub as integrations in partner certification; web storefront and QR ordering are marked live. |
| Offline operation | The restaurant software continues working offline, stores entered data locally and uploads it to the cloud when connectivity returns; master-data maintenance and eCloud evaluations require internet access. | The kitchen display communicates with the local in-store hub, so tickets from the counter and kiosk continue arriving during an internet outage. |
| Security | Lightspeed states that cloud POS communications use end-to-end encryption and that data access is heavily restricted and protected via cloud partners. | The maker says card data goes directly from Stripe readers to Stripe and never passes through ThaliPOS software. |

In their own words
Lightspeed Restaurant
Lightspeed Restaurant is restaurant management software built around a point-of-sale and payments platform. It supports customizable menus, screens and floor plans, with online, tableside and QR-code ordering. Restaurants, hotels and multi-location operators can use the system for operations including inventory, reservations, tables, staff scheduling and sales reporting. The cloud-based POS can keep working offline, saving entered data locally and uploading it when connectivity returns; master-data maintenance and eCloud evaluations still require internet access. Its front end requires the Lightspeed Restaurant iPad app, while the back end can be managed on desktop and iPad. Lightspeed also says the POS can run in a browser on Mac, PC, Apple or Android devices. The Restaurant Integration Hub includes hundreds of third-party integrations, and accounting sync can send sales data to QuickBooks, Xero, Sage and other software. Plans start at $69/mo. Restaurant has no free plan or free trial listed; a demo option is presented instead.
