Lightspeed Capital – Now available in Switzerland

Fast financing for your restaurant business

Getting a loan as a Swiss restaurateur is often a real challenge. Banks usually require lengthy checks, lots of paperwork, and high collateral – especially in the start-up phase or when you need short-term investments.

With Lightspeed Capital, there’s now a solution designed specifically for the needs of the hospitality industry. If you’re using Lightspeed Payment and the K-Series POS software, you can now access fast, flexible, and transparent financing – directly through your POS system.

The Challenge of Restaurant Financing in Switzerland

he Swiss hospitality industry is innovative and diverse, but it faces unique financial hurdles:

  • High initial investments when opening or renovating
  • Seasonal revenue fluctuations
  • Unexpected expenses such as kitchen equipment or repairs
  • Slow loan approval processes by banks

Smaller businesses and start-ups in particular often wait weeks for a loan decision. This can become critical if you need to invest quickly – for example in modern POS systems, self-ordering solutions, or additional equipment.
