Lightspeed Commerce Inc. is making waves in Canada’s retail and hospitality sectors. The Montreal-based company has announced an exclusive partnership with Le Fou Fou, a new European-style food hall opening this week at the new Royalmount in Montreal.

Le Fou Fou is poised to become a centerpiece of Montreal’s vibrant dining and entertainment scene. Spanning over 30,000 square feet, the food hall features 12 distinct dining concepts, three bars, and a spacious 6,000 square foot outdoor terrace.

The partnership between Lightspeed and Le Fou Fou introduces cutting-edge technology to elevate the food hall experience. Lightspeed’s platform will power all vendors, offering a seamless blend of self-service and table-service ordering options. This integration aims to boost efficiency and position Le Fou Fou as a premier destination in Montreal’s competitive food scene.

Dax Dasilva, Founder and CEO of Lightspeed, said, “As a Montreal-based business, this partnership holds special significance for us. We’re not only supporting a project that will breathe new life into the area but also setting a new standard in the food hall industry.”

Le Fou Fou will utilize key features of the Lightspeed Restaurant platform, including multi-basket ordering and a Kitchen Display System. These technologies are designed to enhance operational efficiency and improve customer experience. The platform also incorporates a loyalty integration system, offering personalized rewards across various dining options.

The food hall officially opened on September 5th, accommodating over 900 guests. It features a diverse range of culinary offerings, including Eva’s, Tiramisu, Le Taj, and several other popular local eateries.
