Optimise your tech stack with Lightspeed and Stacked
Independent, operator-led tech reviews for multi-site hospitality. See what's working, what's quietly costing you, and what to fix next.
Stacked is the independent advisory arm of UK hospitality tech.
Stacked sits on the operator's side of the table. Their advisory team runs independent reviews of your stack — tech audits, integration mapping, vendor
selection and negotiation, AI workshops, and onboarding and rollout support — and hands you a report you can act on: a RAG status on every system you run, a data-flow map of how your tools actually talk to each other, a prioritised roadmap and a shortlist of vendors worth your time. No vendor bias, no hard sell.
It's led by people who've done the job. Chris Fletcher spent twenty years on hospitality floors — Hard Rock, Carluccio's, Pieminister — and Chris Cartmell maps the systems side, so every recommendation is grounded in real service rather than a spec sheet.
Their advice is free for operators, because the tech companies fund the community, not you.
Benchmark your stack against operators like you.
The Stacked Intelligence Score takes under a minute. It scores your systems across eleven areas — from ePOS and payments to stock, people, loyalty, guest feedback and finance — and benchmarks you against operators running venues like yours. So you're not guessing whether your setup is good; you can see where you're strong, where you're losing money, and what's worth doing next.
Every score comes from an operator running real venues, verified against a genuine business email.
