Case Study: Absurd Bird achieves rapid multi-location growth and seamless operations with Lightspeed

Absurd Bird spreads its wings and grows its business with Lightspeed

Absurd Bird is a fast-growing London–based restaurant group serving quirky, Deep South–inspired soul food that opened four locations in its first year. As the brand expanded, operations manager Norbert Swierad needed a POS that could scale across distinct sites, provide real-time visibility from anywhere, and be flexible enough to manage menus, pricing and promotions without heavy IT or office infrastructure.

They chose Lightspeed Restaurant’s cloud iPad POS, which delivered mobile access to live reports, simple menu manipulation and tableside ordering that sends tickets straight to the kitchen. The result: near-zero training for staff, fewer order errors and happier guests, faster reporting on top sellers like their Chicken and Waffles, and seamless plans to add a food truck and more locations as the business keeps growing.
