Case Study: Homegrown Hospitality Group saves time and hardware costs with Lightspeed Restaurant (U-Series)

Why a 23-Location Restaurant Group Switched from Aloha to Upserve

The Homegrown Hospitality Group, a 23-location restaurant operator, was challenged by its outdated and costly Aloha POS system. The legacy platform required expensive hardware upgrades, caused frequent crashes and data loss, and was inefficient for making daily menu changes. This led the company to seek a new solution, ultimately choosing to partner with Lightspeed Restaurant (U-Series).

The solution implemented by Lightspeed Restaurant was its cloud-based Upserve POS platform. This provided 24/7 data access, instantaneous updates without terminal resets, and reliable remote support. The results were transformative: the group saved hundreds of thousands of dollars on hardware, management teams reclaimed 75% of their time during closings, and overall operational efficiency and staff morale significantly increased.
