Kounta has a new look, and a new name – and there’s plenty to be excited about.

THE KOUNTA STORY

How we became the go-to POS for Hospo

Almost eight years ago, Kounta came to life in Sydney, Australia. We built a team of legends who are passionate, sometimes nutty, about hospitality.

A team that didn’t understand ‘no’ and would not (could not) stop until their vision to bring innovative, affordable, top-quality software to the industry became a reality. Challenging ideas, late nights, and pots of caffeine were the core ingredients that saw Kounta become the go-to POS for hospo in Australia.

Over the years, we made plenty of noise in the industry – so much so that a company across the globe heard us.

Meet Lightspeed

Last year, a world-leading POS and eCommerce company gave us a ring. So we set travel dates, explored each other’s systems, chatted over coffees (and schooners) – and it was clear as day, Kounta had found its fellow POS companion.

Soon after, we did the formalities and announced that we had been acquired by Lightspeed. But the real fun begins now, as Kounta morphs into Lightspeed!
