Trivec vs Lightspeed: which is the best POS system?
Trivec vs Lightspeed: which is the best POS system?
Are you looking to buy a new POS system, but feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of options? Desktop, mobile, cloud-based, integrated with other systems, with or without reporting features, payment methods… it’s only natural to feel a bit lost when faced with so many possibilities!
Take a deep breath – you’re in good hands. Our experts explain in a few words which are the best POS system in 2026.
Essential features
Convenience
Say goodbye to heavy, cumbersome POS systems! These days, any restaurant owner looking to maximise profits needs to use a modern POS system. But what does that actally mean?
✅ A fixed POS system that centralises all your data using a powerful system
✅ Lightweight, mobile tablet POS that can be placed in various locations throughout your establishment
✅ 2-in-1 order and payment pads to further reduce unnecessary trips back and forth
As well as enabling you to set up various centralised points of sale within your restaurant, this system helps reduce physical strain on your staff (back pain, foot pain, etc.).
And the little extra that makes all the difference: round-the-clock customer support to help you as soon as a problem arises, even at night!
Payment methods
Whilst cash and credit cards remain the most common payment methods, more and more customers want to pay using alternative options such as Google Pay, Apple Pay, Lydia transfers, or even cryptocurrencies.
And if your POS system only supports traditional payment methods, you could quickly find yourself in a bind. There’s no question of losing customers over a simple option that could be offered when settling the bill!
At Trivec, our partners Sunday, Lyf and Adyen allow you to customise the payment stage and enhance the functionality of your POS.
Integrated software
Do you have a very specific vision for your POS system? Then make your dream a reality by connecting your tool to integrated software! These integrations, sometimes seen as ‘optional’, actually turn out to be a real goldmine (and a source of profitability) for hospitality and catering professionals.
Among the best integrations to have with your POS:
✅ Customer loyalty programme
✅ Accounting
✅ Stock management
✅ Table booking
✅ Online ordering and delivery
✅ Gift vouchers
