Misleading Pricing – Hidden Charges!
Be very careful before signing up with the Light Speed K-Series MASSE system. At first, they made everything sound great and got me to sign a contract quickly. But after that, it was like a trap. They started charging me for additional services even though I never used them. When I questioned it, they claimed it was part of the agreement – but that was never clearly explained.
This feels like a dishonest way to do business. The system might look good on the surface, but the way they add hidden costs is extremely frustrating. I strongly recommend that new customers read every single line of the contract and get all details in writing. Better yet, look for a more transparent company.
Warning: Once you sign, it’s very hard to get out without paying a lot more than expected.

Great experience with LightSpeed support (Marianne)
I manage a network of 12 restaurants using LightSpeed solution. I had to install the solution on a new POS this afternoon, and the help of Marianne has been greatly appreciated... She spent all the time needed to find some technical solutions to have a full installation, in a funny and friendly atmosphere.. Many thanks to her and her newly arrived colleague Anastasia...

Transaction Fee Penalty
Great software technically - if you decide against using their expensive payment service though, this software product is not for you.
After several months of using the software, suddenly a payment service fee popped up on the monthly bill, which Lightspeed wants you to pay for not using their payment solutions. Although we were not informed about this during our contract negotiations and therefore our contracts include no such fee, Lightspeed will shut down your back office regularly on weekends and effectively force you to pay the payment service fee. This has been the case of several restaurants/ bars in my city, while customer support and account managers cannot be reached and do not respond to your communications.
I highly recommend to refrain from choosing this software
