With the Lightspeed K, L, R, or X Series integration, your revenue is automatically updated in Eitje every hour. This saves you from entering revenue manually and lets you see how your labour costs compare to your revenue.
The integration only imports revenue from Lightspeed. Hours worked are not transferred from Lightspeed to Eitje.
Activate integration
To activate the integration, log in to Eitje and follow these steps:
In the top menu, go to Data and select Integrations.
Click Add next to the Lightspeed version you use: K, L, R, or X Series.
You will be redirected to Lightspeed. Log in and authorise the connection to complete the setup.
Set up integration
Once the integration is active, choose which revenue you want to import by linking your Lightspeed revenue groups to those in Eitje. This lets you track revenue from the bar and kitchen separately, for example.
Haven’t created any revenue groups in Eitje yet? Go to Company settings → Financial. Learn how to create revenue groups.
⚠️ Note: Make sure every Lightspeed revenue group is linked to a revenue group in Eitje or marked as Inactive. This ensures that revenue from the past is imported in full. This historical import cannot be repeated.
Sales areas: With Lightspeed L Series, you can also link sales areas instead of revenue groups to break down your revenue by where sales take place. Read more.
To return to these settings at any time, find the integration and click Configure, or open the three-dot menu and select Configure.
Retrieve revenue
Once the integration is activated and fully set up, Eitje will automatically retrieve revenue from your POS system.
A few minutes after activation, Eitje also attempts to retrieve your past revenue. This helps Eitje generate a revenue forecast, which is based on your actual revenue from the previous four weeks by default. Past revenue can only be retrieved once all revenue groups have been linked or marked as Inactive, and the setup is complete.
To retrieve missing revenue manually, follow these steps:
In the top menu, go to Hours and select Per team member.
Navigate to the week for which you want to retrieve revenue.
Scroll down to the revenue section.
Can’t see the revenue section? Click Show → Extra rows at the top and select Revenue.
Use Tools to go to Manage revenue.
Click the Sync button for each day.
Eitje will then attempt to retrieve the revenue for that day.
You can also add revenue manually. Enter the revenue for each day or import an Excel file for a longer period.
