Challenge: Keeping up with growing demand
La Spada is quickly becoming a local favorite. However, such rapid success can be a “double-edged sword,” Scott explains. Serving nearly 140 guests a night while maintaining a high standard of service is no easy feat. “It’s amazing, but it also creates issues for us…we have to react very quickly,” he says. To keep up with this rapid growth, they needed a sophisticated solution that would help them respond to demand, streamline operations, track sales and inform their menu decisions—all while providing the best dining experience possible.
Solution: Using Lightspeed for its smart operational solutions
Thankfully, Scott knew exactly where to find a POS system with all these capabilities and more. As a former Lightspeed employee, Scott knew that Lightspeed Restaurant would have everything he was looking for to meet the needs of his new and growing restaurant. Features like in-depth reporting and advanced inventory management have already become essential to their operations, allowing them to stay agile and focus on great customer service.
“Without Lightspeed, we wouldn’t be able to operate. Lightspeed is the backbone of the restaurant.”

“We use it for all our operations and reporting which is very important to me as an owner. I would tell other restaurant owners to definitely use Lightspeed.”

La Spada looks forward to continuing their journey with Lightspeed
Lightspeed has proven to be an invaluable tool for La Spada, empowering Scott and his team to navigate the challenges of opening a new restaurant while fostering a strong connection with the community. As the business grows, Lightspeed will remain essential to their operations, helping them maintain the level of service they’re known for, and keep their guests coming back.
