GastroSystem vs. Gastrofix
Gastrofix was acquired by Lightspeed in 2023 and is now called Lightspeed K-Series. GastroSystem is the independent alternative with its own ordering system and transparent pricing.
Gastrofix was an iPad POS system for the restaurant industry — acquired by Lightspeed in 2023 and renamed to 'Lightspeed K-Series'. The future of existing Gastrofix features is unclear. GastroSystem is an independent German company with ordering, POS, and driver management in one flat rate.
Our verdict
Gastrofix was a strong iPad POS system — but since the Lightspeed acquisition, the future is uncertain. Existing Gastrofix customers report price changes and feature restructuring. GastroSystem is the independent alternative: a German company with a transparent flat rate, its own ordering system, its own app, and no dependency on international corporations.
