Access correct, current information
Access up-to-date information on dishes, prices, and availability wherever you are – at the POS, in the kitchen, or in the back office. LS First is a unified system, and all data is stored in a central place.

- Your staff and guests can view current menu and dish information on the digital menus in your restaurants, on the self-ordering devices, online.
- Out of fish of the day? Stock is automatically updated across the system, and on all the POS, so you can see what’s unavailable with no delay.
Offer safe and contactless payments
Offer secure payments in your restaurants, at the drive thru, at the curbside, on the self-service machines.
