Lightspeed Restaurant
Lightspeed Restaurant is the deepest hospitality system an independent restaurant in the Benelux can actually buy, and the only one in our comparison that publishes its Belgian GKS 2.0 certificate numbers. It is also the one that charges most for the parts that matter, because delivery integrations start on the 249 EUR plan.

Best for
A restaurant with a real dining room, handheld ordering and a kitchen that needs screens, in Belgium, the Netherlands or Luxembourg
Strengths / Weaknesses
Strengths
- Published European price ladder: 89 EUR for one licence, 159 for two, 249 for three, 49 EUR per extra licence
- Certified for Belgium's GKS 2.0 with certificate numbers CPOS002 and CPOS003 on the vendor's own site
- The clearest written offline account in this field: orders, tables, kitchen dockets, local bills and cash payments keep working
- Floor plans, QR ordering and pay, kitchen screens, handhelds and 24/7 support across all plans
- Luxembourg is supported, including Edenred and Pluxee meal vouchers
Weaknesses
- Uber Eats, Deliveroo and other third party ordering require the Pro plan at 249 EUR a month
- A kitchen display screen consumes one of your included licences, it is not a free screen
- No card processing rate is published anywhere, Lightspeed Payments is quote only
- Add-ons such as reservations, kiosks, loyalty and accounting are marked extra with no published price
- Integrated card payments stop working during an outage, the terminal needs its own connection
- The Dutch pricing page currently redirects into a 404, so Dutch buyers have to read the Belgian page

Verdict
Lightspeed is what you buy when the restaurant is the business and the till has to keep up with it: three rooms, eight handhelds, two kitchen screens, a hotel next door. The product earns its reputation, and its offline documentation and Belgian certification are better than anyone else's in this list. Price discipline is the problem. The 89 EUR headline is one licence with no delivery platforms, and a realistic independent with two tills, a kitchen screen and Uber Eats lands near 300 EUR a month before card fees that the vendor will not publish.
