vs Lightspeed Restaurant
Lightspeed packs every feature. We packed only the ones that pay rent.
Lightspeed Restaurant is a serious product, but it asks you to learn an enterprise-style interface for a restaurant that does three services a week. brasio strips it back to what front-of-house actually touches at 9:30pm.

Why teams switch from Lightspeed Restaurant
Lighter on hardware
Lightspeed's setup wants an iPad and a paid hub box. brasio runs on any modern tablet in a browser. No proprietary hub, no special cable.
Built where you work
We're a Mediterranean restaurant, not a head office in another continent. We will visit your venue.
Considering a switch?
If Lightspeed feels heavy for your floor, we'll happily run a side-by-side pilot week so your team can compare on a real service.
