“Can Lightspeed convert a compliance-heavy DACH hospitality POS install base into an embedded payments + capital annuity?”
Gastrofix was founded in Berlin in 2011 as an iPad-native cloud POS for German-speaking hospitality (restaurants, bars, hotels), specializing in TSE/RKSV fiscal compliance for DE and AT. After raising a €15M Series B in 2017 to expand internationally, it was acquired by Canadian POS platform Lightspeed Commerce in January 2020 for ~$100.8M, and has since been rebranded as Lightspeed Restaurant G-Series. Post-acquisition, the product picked up Lightspeed's embedded finance stack — Lightspeed Payments (acquiring) and Lightspeed Capital (revenue-based lending) — making Gastrofix the DACH beachhead for Lightspeed's embedded finance strategy in hospitality.
GASTROFIX processes payments through Lightspeed Payments and SumUp.
GASTROFIX's lending and capital products are provided by Lightspeed Capital.
GASTROFIX integrates with DATEV, Ibelsa PMS and Opera PMS.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 3 layers in GASTROFIX's stack: Payments / PSP (Lightspeed Payments and SumUp); Lending (Lightspeed Capital); Accounting (DATEV, Ibelsa PMS and Opera PMS).
GASTROFIX is founded in 2011 and headquartered in Berlin, Germany.
GASTROFIX has raised ~$23M (pre-acquisition) in total (latest round: Acquired by Lightspeed Commerce (Jan 2020, ~$100.8M); valuation: ~$100.8M acquisition price).
