Frequently asked questions

Can I use SpiniX with Lightspeed POS?

Yes. SpiniX is completely POS-independent. Place the QR code on your tables — it works alongside Lightspeed, Square, Toast, or any other POS without integration or conflict.

Does Lightspeed collect Google reviews?

No. Lightspeed focuses on POS operations and transaction-based loyalty. It does not prompt guests to leave Google reviews. SpiniX automatically asks after each spin — 34% of guests leave a review.

Why is Lightspeed so much more expensive?

Because Lightspeed is a full restaurant operating system — POS, inventory, labor, analytics, online ordering, and loyalty bundled together. You're paying for the complete platform, not just loyalty. SpiniX does one thing: guest retention and review collection. It does it for €29/mo.

Is Lightspeed worth $189/mo for a small restaurant?

If you need POS + inventory + analytics, possibly. But if your current POS works fine and you just want more returning guests and Google reviews, $189/mo for Lightspeed is hard to justify when SpiniX costs €29/mo for exactly that.
