Lightspeed Launches Mobile Tap in Quebec, Expanding Tableside Payment Flexibility
Lightspeed Commerce Inc. (NYSE: LSPD) (TSX: LSPD) (“Lightspeed” or the “Company“), the unified omnichannel platform powering ambitious retail, golf and hospitality businesses in over 100 countries, today announced the launch of Mobile Tap in Quebec, the newest addition to its Lightspeed Tableside solution.
As restaurants face labour pressures and increasing guest expectations for speed and convenience, Mobile Tap enables staff to take orders and securely accept payments anywhere in the venue, without the need to return to a fixed terminal. Designed to seamlessly attach to the Lightspeed Tableside solution for iPhone devices, Mobile Tap delivers greater mobility, faster checkout, and a more seamless guest experience.
When paired with Mobile Tap, Lightspeed Tableside becomes a fully integrated handheld POS solution, allowing staff to take orders and collect payments in one continuous flow. By reducing steps and eliminating trips to a fixed terminal, restaurants can increase table turns, improve order accuracy, and capture more revenue during peak service.
“Hospitality moves quickly, and technology needs to move with it,” said Adoniram Sides, SVP of Hospitality for Lightspeed. “With Mobile Tap, we’re equipping restaurateurs in Quebec with a flexible and powerful solution that puts the entire transaction in the hands of staff, helping them serve guests faster, streamline operations, and drive revenue.”
Lightspeed Tableside has already delivered measurable results for hospitality operators. In a 2025 analysis of 206 European-based businesses, active Tableside users saw an increase of approximately 10% in transaction volume following adoption.*
Engineered for high-performance service environments, Mobile Tap provides restaurants with the flexibility to manage complex payments directly at the table, including:
- Advanced split check functionality, including splitting by seat or equal shares
- Insert, swipe, and tap capabilities, offering more flexibility than tap-only solutions
- Acceptance of major debit and credit cards
- Integrated tipping within the payment flow
- Multilingual payment experience
- Long-lasting battery life
- Compact, reliable hardware that pairs seamlessly with the Lightspeed Tableside solution for iPhone or iPad devices

With the launch of Mobile Tap in Quebec, Lightspeed continues to expand its integrated payments ecosystem and deliver tools that help restaurants operate more efficiently and grow profitably. By combining ordering, advanced check management, and flexible payment acceptance into one handheld solution, Lightspeed empowers hospitality businesses to serve more guests with speed and confidence.
