Frequently asked questions
What does LODGIC360 POS cost?
The price is on request and depends on the chosen subscription and your business. All modules are included; hardware and installation are optional.
Can I migrate from Lightspeed Restaurant to LODGIC360?
Yes. Your menu, categories, VAT rates and staff can be migrated, and we guide the installation of hardware and kitchen displays. Most venues are fully switched over within a few days.
Does LODGIC360 work for hotels too?
Yes. LODGIC360 was built with hospitality in mind: posting orders to rooms, room synchronisation with your PMS and loose bar orders without a table are standard functionality.
What hardware do I need?
A Sunmi terminal or tablet is enough to start. Epson receipt printers, kitchen displays and Stripe card readers such as the S710 can be added, but you are never obliged to buy a fixed bundle.

Frequently asked questions
What should I compare when choosing a hotel POS system?
Check how the restaurant and bar connect to hotel operations, particularly whether orders can be posted directly to a guest's room account. LODGIC360 brings PMS, RMS, CMS and POS together on one database. Also compare QR ordering, reservations, hardware, hotel-specific custom development and the availability of local support.
Can restaurant and bar orders be charged to a guest's room?
LODGIC360 POS can post restaurant and bar orders directly to the guest's room account. The POS and PMS are part of the same platform and share the same data. This connects food and beverage orders with hotel administration, while the PMS also handles invoicing.
Does the POS support QR ordering and restaurant reservations?
LODGIC360 POS supports QR ordering and reservations for restaurant and bar operations. Payments and direct posting to room accounts are also part of its functionality. These services sit within the same integrated platform as the PMS, RMS and CMS, rather than operating with separate hotel data.
What hardware does LODGIC360 POS support?
LODGIC360 POS supports Sunmi hardware for restaurant and bar use. The hardware works with a POS system covering payments, QR ordering, reservations and direct posting to room accounts. When comparing systems, consider both the team's day-to-day use of the till and how it connects with the hotel's PMS.
Can the POS be customised for my hotel's workflows?
LODGIC360 offers hotel-specific modifications and custom-built functions, so hotels can request development around their own operational requirements. This provides scope for adapting the software beyond a standard package. The POS remains part of the integrated PMS, RMS and CMS platform, backed by local Belgian support.
