A prompt to build your own version of Lightspeed

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Lightspeed-style app, first version

Build a web app for a store owner who wants a simple point of sale and inventory system. Start with one retail location and cash payments only. The main screen should show searchable product tiles with prices and stock counts beside a cart. Tapping a product adds it to the cart, where I can change quantities or remove items. Checkout should accept the cash received, show change due, and save the sale. Completed sales should reduce stock automatically. Let me view saved sales and edit product stock counts. Use a clean white and navy design with large buttons for a tablet. Include realistic sample products and sales, with local saving for this first version.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.

What a homemade Lightspeed won't have

Lightspeed gives stores and restaurants established supplier and restaurant partner connections, supplier product data and round the clock support that a homemade POS would not inherit.

  • NuORDER supplier network
  • Supplier catalog data
  • OpenTable partner connection
  • Round the clock POS support
