Lightspeed removed double-handling of data to give Padre double the time.
Padre is one of Australia’s most beloved specialty coffee roasters, retailers, and wholesalers. They offer up a rich selection of roasts and a ton of personality to boot. The best way to sum up Padre? It's coffee ‘roasted with love, care, and a bangin’ soundtrack.’

Challenge
Padre was growing, and it was growing quick. They realised that the amount of time they spent on accounting was neither scalable nor feasible. Balancing tills and handling all reconciliations manually was not only grueling but also prone to mistakes. They had come a long way: from a money box to handwritten dockets, and then a clunky POS system. Now, they needed a system that could integrate their key business processes.
Solution
They adopted Lightspeed and Xero at the same time – which also integrated with Tyro for payments. These platforms communicated directly with each other, reconciling payments and sales instantly. This feature not only freed up a lot of time and frustration, but it also minimised mistakes by removing the element of human errors when manually keying in data.
