Lightspeed runs the shift. ClearCOGS plans the next one.
Lightspeed Restaurant records what sold, when and where. ClearCOGS turns that record into tomorrow’s plan for each location: what to prep, what to order and how many people to schedule. The basis is sales history you authorize ClearCOGS to receive from Lightspeed, such as a scheduled export. As long as there is an API or a way to export data, we can make it work.
Contact Our TeamHow ClearCOGS works with Lightspeed
Item-level sales history from Lightspeed Restaurant: what sold, how many, which day, which location. ClearCOGS adds weather, local events and seasonality on its own.
You grant it. ClearCOGS works from the sales history you authorize it to receive from Lightspeed Restaurant, such as a sales export you send on a schedule. ClearCOGS reads that history and never writes back.
Servers ring checks in Lightspeed as they do today. Managers open the morning prep sheet email instead of guessing. No new hardware, no new screens, no double entry.
You authorize ClearCOGS to receive sales history from Lightspeed Restaurant, through data access you approve or a recurring export you send. ClearCOGS adds weather, local events and seasonality and sends each location a daily plan, what to prep, order and staff, before the shift.
ClearCOGS Compatible means ClearCOGS can work with Lightspeed Restaurant through data access you authorize or exports you send; it is not a formal partnership. Once that access is in place, a Lightspeed Restaurant operator gets the same daily prep, ordering and labor plan as any other ClearCOGS customer.
No. Access is read-only. ClearCOGS receives sales history and writes nothing back, so menus, prices, modifiers and reports inside Lightspeed stay as your team set them.
Book a meeting and tell us you run Lightspeed Restaurant. During onboarding we confirm how your sales data reaches ClearCOGS, set up each location and switch on the daily plan. Across ClearCOGS customers, most rollouts go live in about three weeks.
