Deputy, the award-winning workforce management software company and Lightspeed POS Inc., the world's most advanced cloud-based point-of-sale software solution for restaurants and independent retailers, today announced their partnership to simplify the choices for global restaurateurs to fulfill multiple connected business requirements with one streamlined decision. With this new integration, Deputy's roughly 3,000 restaurant clients can now leverage their Lightspeed sales data to schedule employees more efficiently with Deputy's demand-planning and auto-scheduling functionalities.
