Does lightspeed restaurant pos review11/7/2023 I understood I would be out several thousand dollars. I'd eat all shipping costs and hardware from the first order, but I wanted a refund on the unauthorized charges and for software to be prorated to time elapsed only. When they finally got back to me, I told them that I did not want to continue my relationship with them anymore, and and that I understood that I'd incur some costs in severing the partnership, but I thought it should be fair. I didn't hear from them at all during that time. At that point, I told them that they had two weeks to get back to me on how would reconcile the mistakes made by their company to retain me as a customer and mend our relationship. I confronted them about it and the initial response was "all sales are final". All charges were made before I even saw an invoice. They sent me the hardware and threw a bunch of additional software charges in the mix without even mentioning them. Some time later, I requested that they send me the rest of the registers that I needed as I had originally requested and chalked the wrong number up to a mistake. While the pricing online says the monthly fees, their salesman knew that I needed more registers than they sent me. They basically sent me the same star printers that I had with square and cash drawers that I could have used with my current printers as well. Also, I came to find out that their claim that none of the equipment that I already had with square would be compatible with lightspeed is completely false. I messed up when I quickly glanced at the invoice of equipment they sent me and didn't see the discrepancy in the quantities. I was very clear with the sales team about what I needed for my business. Perhaps there performance reviews are based on quantity of clients "helped". The few times I called to try to get help with items, the support staff was very short and seemed more interested in just getting you off the phone and moving on. The company's idea of helping you seems to be to create videos for you to figure out their software so that they don't really have to help you. The salesman made onboarding sound very simple, but when I was putting my items into the system, it was no better than square to do. Some of the representatives are not knowledgeable enough. Support is good for the software although I have found that are led down the wrong path and wast time. It can get complicated and takes some effort to train new staff. Many add-ons are available at high costs. I do not recommend LightSpeed and am stuck with them for another 11 months and plan to find a better POS partner. I have not worked for or worked with a company that does not work fairly with their customers. We understand the value in the loyalty program by cannot presently justify it. We have no need for this extra program at the moment, have not used it and do not plan to use it at this time as our business volume has a ceiling and the margins do not support it at this time. They are refusing to refund the Loyalty program fee say that we are in a contract and they have a phone recording committing to the contract (they won't actual share the recording though). Another $800 was tacked on to our renewal for the Loyalty program that I did not authorize. We were looking into the addition to see if it fits our business. !!WARNING!!! THIS COMPANY IS NOT FAIR! They bundled in the loyalty program in our automatic renewal.
