Lightspeed has been named Best EPOS System at the Members' Choice Awards 2026, a prestigious accolade voted for by hospitality professionals across the UK.

The award recognises the technology providers that consistently deliver innovation, reliability and outstanding support to hospitality businesses. Winning the Best EPOS System category reflects Lightspeed's commitment to helping restaurants and hospitality operators overcome operational challenges through intelligent, cloud-based technology.

Empowering UK Hospitality with Next-Generation Technology

Headquartered near London's historic Borough Market, Lightspeed provides a unified, cloud-based EPOS and payments platform designed specifically for the hospitality industry. Serving thousands of independent and multi-site venues across the UK, the platform scales seamlessly from local restaurants to large hospitality groups.

Built to help operators tackle challenges such as staff shortages and rising operational costs, Lightspeed transforms day-to-day complexity into a competitive advantage through connected technology and real-time operational insight.

Intelligent Tools for Modern Hospitality

At the heart of Lightspeed's latest innovation is Lightspeed AI, a conversational intelligence layer that allows operators to query business data using natural language, providing instant insights into sales performance, menu trends and labour efficiency.

Complementing this is Lightspeed Tempo, a service pacing tool integrated with the Kitchen Display System (KDS). By tracking the complete dining journey from seating through to payment, Tempo helps restaurants improve service flow, increase table turnover and create a better guest experience.

Driving Operational Excellence

Lightspeed continues to support hospitality businesses through a range of integrated tools designed to improve efficiency and consistency.

Lightspeed Tasks, managed through the Lightspeed Pulse mobile app, enables managers to automate opening and closing procedures, food safety checks and operational tasks across multiple locations while providing real-time visibility of staff compliance.

To help maximise revenue, Lightspeed Reservations allows venues to capture direct online bookings, automate guest reminders and secure deposits, helping reduce customer no-shows and minimise reliance on third-party booking platforms.

Completing the platform is Lightspeed Mobile Tap, enabling hospitality teams to take tableside orders and payments directly from mobile devices, creating a seamless guest experience while simplifying payment processing.

By combining intelligent automation, predictive analytics, integrated payments and 24/7 technical support, Lightspeed provides hospitality businesses with a comprehensive platform designed to drive growth, resilience and long-term profitability.
