Challenge
Because of Rocket Fizz’s rapid expansion through franchise locations, co-owner Richard Shane needed a web-based POS that was scalable, flexible, and could be set up easily and quickly. Opening a new store is one of the most stressful times for a new store owner, and Shane wanted to avoid the delays caused by glitches like a problematic POS.
Solution
Today, each new Rocket Fizz franchise is set up with Lightspeed from day one, and franchisees are learning quickly. “It used to take five days to set up a POS at a new location. Now it takes three or four. That 20-40% of time saved is a massive improvement.” For Fizz franchisees, the option to choose their operating system was a major benefit to using a cloud-based system. Lightspeed’s scalable system is helping Shane’s candy shop rocket to national success.
