What’s new in Lightspeed Restaurant?

 

What’s new on the Lightspeed Restaurant app? 

  • We’ve improved table status logic so tables should no longer display an incorrect status color.  We’ve also added a “blue” table status color for incoming online orders.
    • Takeaway or Delivery table types now display a blue status color until the order has been accepted.
    • For more information, view our Understanding table status tutorial.
  • Lightspeed Loyalty rewards now appear as discounted items.
    • To redeem a reward, users select the usual Loyalty payment type and the reward displays as a discounted item on the receipt.
    • What does the Loyalty reward look like? The Loyalty reward itself now appears as a discounted product on receipts and reports.
    • What does the applied Loyalty redemption look like? The Loyalty redemption now appears as a “Loyalty Account Assigned” payment type on receipts and reports.
    • If voiding a receipt containing a Loyalty discount, users must manually re-add the customer’s Loyalty points from Loyalty Manager.
    • For more information, view our Redeeming Lightspeed rewards tutorial.

 

What’s new on Lightspeed Restaurant Manager?

  • Your Account ID is now also visible from Restaurant Manager.
    • A few months ago we introduced a new feature where your Account ID is visible from the Restaurant POS app (POS > Tools > Account).
    • Now, you can also view their Account ID from Restaurant Manager. Simply log in to the Restaurant Manager and select your profile icon at the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.
    • Why is it useful to know your Account ID? If you ever need to be in touch with our Support Team, simply offer your Account ID number for faster identification.
