Built by restaurant operators, for restaurant operators
Bright Links was founded in 2019 by a team that spent a combined 40+ years working in restaurant kitchens, front-of-house, and hospitality technology. We were frustrated by legacy POS systems that were clunky, expensive, and siloed — so we built something better.
Today, Bright Links powers independent cafés, multi-location groups, and fine dining establishments across North America and Europe. We're headquartered in Austin, Texas, with engineering offices in New York and Berlin.
Our 99.97% uptime SLA means your restaurant never stops because of us.
Flat monthly plans. No hidden fees, no per-transaction cuts, no surprises.
Real people available around the clock — because restaurants don't close at 5pm.

Loved by restaurants everywhere
Don't take our word for it. Here's what operators say after switching to Bright Links.
"We switched from our old POS to Bright Links eight months ago and haven't looked back. Table turns are faster, online orders flow directly to the kitchen, and our staff actually enjoy using it. Revenue is up 34% year-on-year."
"The kitchen display system alone was worth the switch. Our ticket times dropped from 22 minutes to 14 minutes in the first week. The integration between reservations and the POS means our servers always know exactly what's happening on the floor."
"Running six locations used to mean six different systems and a spreadsheet nightmare. Bright Links gives me a single dashboard for everything. The support team is phenomenal — they answered my call at 11pm on a Saturday. Genuinely impressive."
