What Our Hospitality Customers Say

“I probably only spend about 2 hours a week in Lightyear. Lightyear gives me a level of control where I can set up 1,000 recipes, link them to my POS, and manage stock systems in the background.”

“The price-checking feature is amazing. It means we can easily identify when we have been overcharged or received the wrong inventory.”

“It removes the need for 1 full headcount. Previously, we needed a full person dedicated to managing just the AP. Now, that same person handles AP, payroll, inventory and month-end tasks without being overloaded.”

“We’ve now got delegations of authority set up in the system. It gives me a lot more confidence and visibility. I can see exactly where things are at any point and track how the team is managing the workflow.”
