ePOS vendor Lightspeed announces ‘game changing' partnership with Deliveroo

ePOS vendor Lightspeed has announced an exclusive deal with Deliveroo that will see orders made on the delivery platform automatically entered into its system.

Lightspeed described the integration as "game changing" increasing efficiency, reducing mistakes and saving time.

Jerome Laredo, of Lightspeed, said: "At Lightspeed, we have always had a vision of a connected hospitality world and we strive to make our restaurateurs' lives easier by providing them with the tools they need to grow their business.

"We want Lightspeed to be the management hub for restaurants. This integration with Deliveroo is a great example of how we can give our customers an incredible opportunity to partake in the rapidly growing food-delivery market while making their operations a lot more efficient, and we are particularly pleased with that ."

Nicholas Steiner, Lightspeed customer and owner of Yoobi in London, has been using the integrated system. He said it had led to a reduction in labour costs, removing the need to have a member of staff inputting orders into the restaurant's system.

Mathieu de Lophem, general manager of Deliveroo Benelux: "With the goal of helping restaurants thrive, Deliveroo is constantly innovating. Our partners have told us that integrating with their sales systems is such an important step in them being able to provide delivery services - that's why we're excited to partner with Lightspeed globally.

"Through this partnership, we help restaurants cut out needless time inputting orders into sales systems. This allows front of staff to focus on delivering an amazing dine-in experience, while enabling restaurants to boost revenues through delivery orders."
