The panel's verdict
LINA TeamCloud, from Gastro-MIS GmbH of Gräfelfing, is a gastronomy POS and cloud platform. Its strength is operations and locations, scored 7: suppliers, automatic reordering, digital inventory counts, recipes and contribution margins, kitchen monitors with course control, and articles and prices managed centrally in the cloud. Fiscal compliance sits at 6 — both TSE routes are named, fiskaly's cloud TSE on Frankfurt servers and Swissbit hardware, with DSFinV-K interfaces and a GoBD-conform cash book — though the BSI certificate and ten-year archiving are not shown publicly. Payments and fees is the low point at 4: beyond "du zahlst nur die tatsächlichen Payment-Kosten", we found no published fee per card type, acquirer or payout timing. Judges split on checkout and hardware, 4 to 6: the operations manager and retail owner scored 4, citing undocumented offline limits, returns and hardware compatibility, while the remaining scores of 6 credit a real, named hardware line. Pricing transparency spans 5 to 6 — plans are public net per month (Core ab 99 €, Pro ab 249 €, Max ab 399 €) — but TSE, hardware, setup and card fees are unpriced.
Speaks for it
- Operations and locations scored 7, with suppliers, automatic reordering, digital inventory counts, recipes, contribution margins and kitchen routing all documented
- Both TSE routes are named — fiskaly cloud TSE on Frankfurt servers and Swissbit hardware in USB, SD and Micro-SD — beside DSFinV-K interfaces and a GoBD-conform cash book with a daily closing in about five minutes
- The DATEV handoff is documented in depth: an automatically generated "DATEV Rechnungswesen pro" file, DATEV MeinFiskal with the Kassenarchiv online, and receipt images to the Belegbilderservice DATEV
- Plans and add-ons are priced publicly: Core ab 99 €, Pro ab 249 €, Max ab 399 € net per month (119 €, 369 €, 559 € without payment), further licences at 49 €, kiosks at 75 €, kitchen or bar monitors at 49 €
- The contracting entity is a German GmbH (Gastro-MIS GmbH, HRB 123712, Amtsgericht München) with a published Article 28 processing agreement, and the pages state data is stored in Germany
Held against it
- Payments scored 4 across the board: we found no published fee per card type, acquirer, payment institution or payout timing beyond "du zahlst nur die tatsächlichen Payment-Kosten"
- TSE, hardware, setup and support carry no published prices, and the minimum contract term appears only as an FAQ topic without its length
- We found no public information on a documented API with webhooks or a full export of articles, customers and sales when the contract ends
- The hosting provider is unnamed, no subprocessor list is published, and the privacy policy shows WhatsApp communication via Meta Platforms Ireland with a US parent
- We found no public information on per-employee cancellation logs, stock transfers between branches or cross-site sales reporting
Best for
- You run a German restaurant, bar or system-gastronomy group and want TSE, KassenSichV, DSFinV-K and GoBD handled with named TSE providers
- Your margins live in recipes, stock and automatic reordering — the modules behind the 7 on operations and locations
- Your accountant works in DATEV and you want till data, receipt images and audit exports delivered automatically
Avoid if
- You run a retail rather than gastronomy till; the pages target gastronomy, and the retail owner's 4 on checkout reflects no public information on scanners, scales, returns or hardware compatibility
- You need per-employee cancellation logs, branch-to-branch stock transfers or cross-site sales reporting for your auditors

How this is scored
How a sale is rung up and what it runs on: a fast till on tablet, phone or dedicated terminal, articles, modifiers and discounts, split bills and tips, receipts printed or sent digitally (QR code, email, a digital Bon), returns and cancellations, a customer display, which hardware is supported or sold (receipt printers, cash drawers, scanners, scales), and whether the till keeps selling when the internet is down.
0 — Not a till; sales cannot be rung up or receipts issued in the product.
3 — Sales rung up on one device with a printed receipt; digital receipts, supported hardware and offline operation are basic or not described.
5 — A till app on named devices (iPad, Android or Windows) with articles, modifiers, discounts and split payments, receipts printed or sent digitally, returns and cancellations, a list of supported printers, drawers and scanners, and an offline mode stated.
8 — Several device types and own or third-party hardware with a published compatibility list, offline mode with its limits stated (how long, which payments, how sync resolves), digital receipts meeting the receipt obligation, customer display, scales and barcode labels supported, and hardware rentable or bought with the terms stated.
10 — A till that never stops a sale: offline operation documented including card payments and fiscal signing, hardware open to standard devices rather than locked to the vendor, receipt layouts that meet the legal minimum content in each named country, and a stated uptime or a status page with incident history.
The Café Owner
Their own kit is named and real: a 15.6-inch touchscreen stand till, an RS10 handheld for taking orders at the table, receipt printers, payment terminals and a customer monitor, with split bills, digital tips and the E-Bon digital receipt. The till is described as hybrid with offline-capable hardware and master data in the cloud, and there is an FAQ topic about what happens in an internet outage, but I found nothing on how long it keeps selling offline or which payments still work. I also found no published prices or terms for buying or renting the hardware. 2 9 6 5
The Retail Shop Owner
The till runs on the vendor's own named hardware — a 15.6-inch Audrey stand terminal, an RS10 handheld, LINA receipt printers and payment terminals — with a customer monitor, split and merged bills, an e-receipt with cloud backup, and offline-capable hardware with master data in the cloud. For a retail till like mine, we found no public information on barcode scanner or scale support, a third-party printer and drawer compatibility list, or returns and cancellations at the till, and no description of how long offline operation lasts or which payments keep working. 2 6 9
The Tax Adviser
The pages name real hardware — the Audrey 15,6-inch stand till, the RS10 handheld, receipt printers, payment terminals and a customer monitor — plus table plans, split and merged bills, digital e-receipts with cloud backup, and a hybrid approach of offline-capable hardware with master data in the cloud. We found no published compatibility list for printers, drawers or scanners, no statement of the offline limits, and no description of returns and cancellations. 2 6 9 15
The Hospitality Operations Manager
The captured pages show a working restaurant till — bills split and merged, editable table plans, a customer monitor, orders routed to kitchen and bar, printed and digital receipts — running on the vendor's own hardware line of 15.6-inch touchscreen stand tills, an RS10 handheld and receipt printers, with offline-capable hardware stated. I found no public information on modifiers and discounts, returns and cancellations, third-party hardware compatibility, or how long the till keeps selling when the internet is down. 2 3 6 9
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
The till runs on the vendor's own named devices — a 15.6-inch stand terminal, the RS10 handheld for tableside service, order kiosks and receipt printers — with an e-receipt and cloud backup, a customer display, split and merged bills, and an offline-capable hybrid approach with master data in the cloud. The captured pages do not state the limits of offline operation (an FAQ topic on internet outages exists but the answer is not shown), a hardware compatibility list, scales, or the buy-or-rent terms for the hardware. 2 3 6 9 15
The Skeptic
The till is real and runs on the vendor's own hardware — a 15.6-inch touchscreen stand terminal, an RS10 handheld for table service, receipt printers, payment terminals — with a customer display, split and merged bills, table plans, an e-receipt and the hybrid claim of offline-capable hardware with master data in the cloud. An FAQ question about an internet outage exists, but we found no public information on how long the till keeps selling offline or which payments survive it, nor on returns and cancellations, a hardware compatibility list, or the terms to rent or buy the devices. 2 6 9
Card payments & fees
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How the till takes card and mobile payments and what that costs: an integrated terminal and the acquirer behind it named, girocard, credit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, tap to pay on a phone, the fee per transaction by card type, monthly terminal fees, payout timing, and whether the merchant may use a terminal or acquirer of their own choice instead. A "free" till paid for by card fees counts here.
0 — No card payment of any kind can be recorded at the till.
3 — Card payments recorded at the till, by an integrated terminal or by typing the amount into a separate one; the acquirer, the fees and the choice of terminal are basic or not described.
5 — An integrated card terminal with the payment provider named, girocard, credit cards and mobile wallets accepted, the transaction fee published for the main card types, payouts with their timing stated, and the amount passed to the terminal without retyping.
8 — Fees per card type and terminal cost published, tap to pay on a phone, tips and split payments on the terminal, several integrated acquirers or terminals to choose from (not only the vendor's own), the regulated payment institution named, and card payments reconciled to the daily closing.
10 — Payments without lock-in: the till works with any of several named acquirers on equal terms, fees for every card type, currency and chargeback published, the merchant's contract with the acquirer separable from the POS licence, and a change of acquirer documented without changing the till.
The Café Owner
Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, QR payment, tips and payment at the table are all there, even card payment straight on the mobile till with no separate terminal, and the packages quote honest with-and-without-payment figures (Core 99 € with payment, 119 € without). But I found no name for the acquirer behind LINA Pay, no published per-transaction fee and no payout timing. The one contract, one system pitch also leaves no room for a terminal or acquirer of my own. 5 6 2
The Retail Shop Owner
Payment is genuinely built in — EC and credit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, QR and contactless, card payment directly on the mobile till without a separate terminal, one contract and no monthly base fee, only the actual payment costs. But we found no published fee per card type, no named acquirer or payment institution, no terminal prices and no payout timing, so I cannot work out what a card sale would cost me. 5 6
The Tax Adviser
Integrated payment is documented in detail — EC and credit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, QR-code and contactless payment, card at the table, and payment directly on the mobile till without a separate terminal — and packages are priced with and without payment. But we found no public information naming the acquirer or payment institution, no transaction fee per card type and no payout timing; paying only the actual payment costs is not a fee an operator can audit in advance. 2 5 6 9
The Hospitality Operations Manager
Payments look genuinely integrated for service — EC and credit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, QR payment, digital tips, card payment at the table, and payment directly on the mobile till without a separate terminal, bundled in one contract. But I found no public information on the acquirer or payment institution, the fee per card type, payout timing or terminal cost — the pages say only "Keine monatlichen Grundgebühren – du zahlst nur die tatsächlichen Payment-Kosten" — so I cannot compute what cards cost me across eight sites. 2 5 6
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
Payments are deeply integrated — EC and credit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, QR and contactless, digital tips, payment at the table and directly on the mobile till without a separate terminal, all under one contract. We found no public information naming the acquirer or the regulated payment institution, on payout timing, or on the fee per girocard or credit card transaction; 'du zahlst nur die tatsächlichen Payment-Kosten' is as specific as it gets, and that fee decides whether a five-euro ice cream sale still pays. LINA Core is quoted at 99 €/ Monat with payment versus 119 €/ Monat without, and we found no public information on using a terminal or acquirer of my own choice. 2 5 6 9
The Skeptic
Card, girocard, credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, QR payment and 100+ payment types are integrated, even directly on the mobile till without a separate terminal, with digital tips and the pitch "Ein Vertrag, ein System". But we found no public information naming the acquirer or payment institution behind LINA Pay, the per-transaction fee is not published — "du zahlst nur die tatsächlichen Payment-Kosten" is a promise, not a number — and payout timing or the option to bring one's own terminal are likewise undocumented. 2 5 6
Fiscal compliance (TSE, DSFinV-K, RKSV)
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether the till survives a cash audit: for Germany a certified technical security device (TSE) with its provider and BSI certificate named, hardware or cloud, the DSFinV-K export for the Kassennachschau and the tax audit, the receipt obligation (Belegausgabepflicht), the Kassenbuch and daily closing (Z-Bericht), GoBD-compliant storage for ten years, and help with the § 146a AO registration; for Austria the RKSV signature and FinanzOnline registration; for other countries their named fiscal rules (NF525, Fiskaltrust and similar).
0 — No fiscal function at all; the product is not a cash register in the legal sense, or states that it does not meet the fiscal rules of the markets it sells into.
3 — The till is called compliant ("finanzamtkonform", "KassenSichV-ready") without naming the TSE, the export formats or the closing; the details are basic or not described.
5 — A TSE included or offered with its provider named (hardware or cloud), the DSFinV-K export available, receipts carrying the TSE signature, a daily closing and cash book, and the receipt obligation met on paper or digitally.
8 — TSE provider and BSI certification named with what happens when the TSE fails, DSFinV-K and the GoBD archive for ten years stated, the § 146a AO registration supported, a procedure documentation (Verfahrensdokumentation) template offered, and the fiscal rules of at least one further country (Austrian RKSV or another) named and met.
10 — Audit-proof across markets: fiscal compliance documented per named country with certificates published, the procedure documentation maintained by the vendor, the fiscal journal exportable after the contract ends, and the vendor's handling of a Kassennachschau (what the auditor gets, from whom, how fast) described.
The Café Owner
A fiskaly cloud TSE that books into the same monthly subscription and runs on servers in Frankfurt, with no local TSE management and no physical swap to schedule — a TSE I would not have to think about — plus Swissbit hardware TSEs from their own shop as the alternative, DSFinV-K-conform interfaces, an automatic cashbook with daily closing, and named help with the registration duty and the receipt obligation. What I did not find: the BSI certificate named, a ten-year GoBD archive stated, a procedure documentation template, or the fiscal rules of any second country. 3 4 2 17
The Retail Shop Owner
The fiscal chain is documented with names: a cloud TSE from fiskaly on Frankfurt servers or a Swissbit hardware TSE orderable in the shop, DSFinV-K-conformant interfaces, an automatic GoBD and KassenSichV cash book with the daily closing done in five minutes, plus support for the cash-register registration duty and the receipt obligation. We found no public information on the BSI certificate, ten-year GoBD archiving, a procedure documentation template, or fiscal rules beyond Germany. 2 3 4 17
The Tax Adviser
The German fiscal core is there and named: cloud TSE by fiskaly with servers in Frankfurt am Main, Swissbit hardware TSEs in USB and SD variants, DSFinV-K-conform interfaces, an automatic cash book with daily closing, support for the registration and receipt-obligation duties, and data exportable at an audit. What I still want before a Kassennachschau: the BSI certificate for either TSE is not named, TSE failure handling is not described, no ten-year GoBD storage is stated, no procedure documentation is offered, and no second country's fiscal rules appear. 2 3 4 13 17
The Hospitality Operations Manager
Both TSE routes are offered with providers named — fiskaly cloud TSE on servers in Frankfurt am Main, and Swissbit hardware TSE in USB, SD and Micro-SD — alongside DSFinV-K-conform interfaces, a GoBD-conform cash book with an automatic daily closing in about five minutes, and named help with the cash-register reporting duty and the receipt-output duty. I found no public information on the BSI certificate, behaviour when a TSE fails, ten-year GoBD archiving, a procedure documentation template, or any second country's fiscal rules. 2 3 4 17
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
The TSE providers are named — fiskaly for a cloud TSE on servers in Frankfurt am Main, Swissbit for USB, SD and Micro-SD hardware variants — and the pages state DSFinV-K-conform interfaces, an automatic cash book with daily closing, support with Kassenmeldepflicht and Belegausgabepflicht, a GoBD-conform cash book and audit exports into the DATEV Kassenarchiv online. We found no public information on the BSI certificate of the TSE, on ten-year GoBD storage, on a Verfahrensdokumentation template, or on the fiscal rules of any country besides Germany. 2 3 4 13 17
The Skeptic
The TSE providers are named — fiskaly's cloud TSE on Frankfurt servers and Swissbit hardware, with the five-year certificate expiry disclosed — beside DSFinV-K interfaces, a GoBD and KassenSichV cashbook, a daily closing "in fünf Minuten", and support for the Kassenmeldepflicht and Belegausgabepflicht. Before I trust an audit I still want what the captured pages do not show: the BSI certificate, a procedure for a failed TSE, the ten-year archive statement, a Verfahrensdokumentation template, and we found no public information on exporting the fiscal journal once the contract ends. 2 3 4 13 17
Inventory, tables, staff & locations
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What the till runs beside the sale: stock and articles with variants, suppliers and purchase orders, recipes or ingredients for hospitality, tables, courses and a kitchen display or kitchen printer, self-order and QR ordering, staff logins with roles and rights, cash differences per employee, reports by product, staff and hour, and several branches or sites managed from one back office.
0 — No articles, stock, staff or reporting beyond the single sale.
3 — An article list and a sales report; stock, staff rights, tables and several locations are basic or not described.
5 — Article and stock management with variants or modifiers, staff logins with roles, reports by product, employee and period, and for hospitality tables and kitchen printing or a kitchen display; several locations or tills under one account.
8 — Stock with suppliers, purchase orders and inventory counts or recipes, a kitchen display and QR or self-order, granular staff rights and a log of cancellations and voids per employee, central articles and prices pushed to several branches, and cross-site reporting.
10 — Multi-site operations run through the product: stock transfers between branches, central menu and price management with local overrides, franchise or group structures, forecasting from sales history, and every change to an article, price or void attributed and exportable.
The Café Owner
Table plans editable at the till, orders routed to kitchen and bar stations with course control, live status and a pickup monitor, self-ordering and a kiosk, staff roles, and a stock module with suppliers, recipes, digital inventory counts and automatic reordering when stock runs low. Personnel, absence and duty rosters sit in the same portal, and articles, prices and menus are managed centrally in the cloud with TSEs monitored across locations. I found nothing on per-employee cancellation logs or cross-site sales reporting. 2 14 15 8 6
The Retail Shop Owner
The stock side is what I want to see: supplier and article management with several suppliers, automatic order suggestions and reordering to target stock, digital inventory counts, live stock and recipes, staff roles and rights, central articles, prices and menus in the cloud, and monitoring of TSEs and activities across several locations. For my two branches, we found no public information on stock transfers between branches, colour variants of one article, or per-employee cancellation logs and cross-branch sales reports. 2 4 8 14 15
The Tax Adviser
The stock module is the real thing — suppliers and article management, automatic reordering against target stock levels, digital inventory counts, recipes and calculations, live stock and contribution margins — joined by a kitchen monitor with course control, station routing, pickup and dispensing monitors and self-ordering, staff roles and rights, editable table plans, and multi-location monitoring of all TSEs. We found no description of a per-employee log of cancellations and voids, and cross-site reporting beyond TSE monitoring is not described. 2 4 8 14 15
The Hospitality Operations Manager
This is the strongest area for a group like mine: suppliers and purchase orders with automatic reordering, digital inventory counts, recipes and contribution margins, live stock, kitchen monitors with course control and station routing, self-ordering, roles and rights for staff, personnel with attendance and duty rosters, and articles, prices and menus managed centrally in the cloud with TSE activity monitored across locations. What I could not find is what my auditors ask about first: a log of cancellations and voids per employee, local price overrides per branch, stock transfers between sites, and cross-site hourly reporting. 2 4 8 14 15
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
The stock module handles several suppliers, automatic reordering against target stock, digital inventory counts and recipes with contribution margins; the kitchen side has digital monitors with station routing, course control and self-order kiosks; staff get roles and rights, personnel files, absence and duty rosters; and articles and prices are managed centrally in the cloud, with monitoring of TSEs and activity across locations. We found no public information on a log of cancellations and voids per employee, on cash differences per employee, on stock transfers between branches, or on cross-site reporting. 2 6 8 14 15
The Skeptic
The Warenwirtschaft runs deep — suppliers, automatic reordering against target stock, digital inventories, recipes, contribution margins, live stock, a CHEFS CULINAR link — beside kitchen monitors with course control, self-ordering, table plans, roles and rights, and personnel with schedules and payroll. Multi-site appears as monitoring of all TSEs and activities across Standorte; we found no public information on a per-employee log of cancellations and voids, cash differences per staff member, or cross-site reporting. 2 4 8 14 15
Accounting handoff, DATEV & data export
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What reaches the books and what leaves with the merchant: an export to DATEV (DATEV format, DATEV Kassenarchiv online, DATEV Unternehmen online) and to named accounting tools, booking with revenue accounts and tax rates, card payouts and fees reconciled, an API and webhooks, integrations with shop, booking or staff tools, and a complete export of articles, customers, sales and fiscal journals when the contract ends.
0 — No export of any kind; the day's figures have to be retyped.
3 — A CSV or PDF report of sales; booking data, named integrations and a full export are basic or not described.
5 — A DATEV export or another named accounting export with revenue accounts and tax rates, several integrations listed, a documented API, and sales and articles exportable.
8 — DATEV Kassenarchiv online or DATEV Unternehmen online named, card payouts and fees booked separately for reconciliation, a public API with webhooks and a developer portal, integrations with named shop, booking and staff-scheduling tools, and a full export of articles, customers and sales stated.
10 — Nothing stays behind: a complete export of all records including the fiscal journal and receipts in documented formats, access to past data after cancellation for the retention period stated, a migration path from and to other named systems, and the API covering every object the back office shows.
The Café Owner
The DATEV handoff runs deep: the Kassenarchiv online via DATEV MeinFiskal, digital receipt images straight to the Belegbilderservice DATEV, a DATEV Rechnungswesen pro file generated automatically and downloadable anytime, and a GoBD cashbook that imports the day's data from the till by itself. But I found no public API or webhooks, nothing on card payouts and fees being booked separately for reconciliation, and no statement that articles, customers and sales export in full when the contract ends — only a general right to personal data in a machine-readable format on request. 17 6 4 8
The Retail Shop Owner
This is the strongest part for me: a DATEV interface, DATEV MeinFiskal with the Kassenarchiv online, digital receipt images to the DATEV Belegbilderservice, an automatically generated DATEV Rechnungswesen pro file from the cash book, and data exportable for audits — the month reaches my tax adviser without a USB stick. We found no public information on a merchant API with webhooks, separate booking of card payouts and fees, or a complete export of articles, customers and fiscal journals when the contract ends. 4 6 17
The Tax Adviser
For the books this is strong: a GoBD-conform cash book with preconfigured DATEV exports, the DATEV Rechnungswesen pro file generated automatically, digital receipt images passed to the Belegbilderservice DATEV, and an interface to DATEV MeinFiskal and the DATEV Kassenarchiv online. We found no public information on a documented API or webhooks, and no stated complete export of articles, customers, sales or the fiscal journal when the contract ends; the portability right quoted is the GDPR one for personal data. 4 6 8 17
The Hospitality Operations Manager
The DATEV handoff is unusually well documented — the cash book automatically generates the "DATEV Rechnungswesen pro" file, connects to DATEV MeinFiskal and the DATEV Kassenarchiv online, hands digital receipt images to the DATEV Belegbilderservice, and audit data can be exported quickly from a dashboard. I found no public information on a documented API with webhooks, separate booking of card payouts and fees, or a full export of articles, customers, sales and the fiscal journal when the contract ends; portability is stated only as the GDPR right over personal data. 4 6 8 17
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
The DATEV handoff is concrete: the cash book imports the day's data from the till automatically, generates the 'DATEV Rechnungswesen pro' file for download at any time, passes digital receipt images to the Belegbilderservice DATEV, and connects to DATEV MeinFiskal and thus the DATEV Kassenarchiv online. We found no public information on a documented public API with webhooks, on booking card payouts and fees separately for reconciliation, or on a full export of articles, customers and sales when the contract ends — the machine-readable export described is the GDPR right to data portability on request. 4 6 8 17
The Skeptic
The DATEV handoff is genuinely deep: an automatically generated "DATEV Rechnungswesen pro" file, the DATEV Kassenarchiv online via MeinFiskal, the Belegbilderservice, and preconfigured exports from the GoBD cashbook. But the portability right in the privacy policy covers personal data only, and we found no public information on a merchant API with webhooks or on a full export of articles, customers, sales and the fiscal journal when the contract ends — the question that decides what leaving costs. 4 6 8 17
European sovereignty
panel opinion
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where sales, customer and employee data are hosted, and who the subprocessors are (hosting, cloud TSE, payment processing, receipt delivery, email, analytics). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; POS data is financial and fiscal at once, holds staff logins and customer cards, and has to stay readable for the tax office for ten years, so the whole chain counts, not only the database.
0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no data processing agreement offered.
3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the subprocessors are not listed.
5 — EU hosting available and an EU contracting entity or EU representative, but parts of the chain (cloud TSE, payment processing, email, analytics, support) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.
8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, TSE provider and payment institution, subprocessors listed with their locations, a data processing agreement published, and security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2) stated.
10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, TSE, payment institution, hosting and every subprocessor, data export and deletion documented, and certifications published with their scope rather than implied.
The Café Owner
The contracting party is Gastro-MIS GmbH, registered at the Munich court with the address in Gräfelfing and a German VAT number, the pages say all data is stored lawfully in Germany, the cloud TSE runs in Frankfurt, and a data processing agreement under Article 28 exists. But the actual hoster is described only as a possible unnamed external provider, I found no subprocessor list, communication can run through WhatsApp via Meta's Irish entity with a US parent, and I found no ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification stated. 7 4 8
The Retail Shop Owner
The contracting entity is Gastro-MIS GmbH in Gräfelfing with a Munich register number, all data is stated to be stored in Germany with the fiskaly cloud TSE on Frankfurt servers, and an Art. 28 GDPR data processing agreement exists. The privacy policy itself allows that an external provider operates the servers without naming it, we found no published subprocessor list, WhatsApp communication runs through Meta Platforms Ireland with a US parent, and we found no public information on security certifications. 4 7 8
The Tax Adviser
The imprint names a German GmbH registered at the Munich court with a German VAT ID, data is stated as stored lawfully in Germany with the fiskaly cloud TSE on Frankfurt servers, and a processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is concluded. But the hosting provider is described only as possibly an unnamed external service provider, no subprocessor list is published, and WhatsApp communication runs through Meta Platforms Ireland Limited under a US parent; we found no stated security certifications. 4 7 8
The Hospitality Operations Manager
The legal notice names a German limited company (commercial register HRB 123712, Munich district court, Gräfelfing), a published Article 28 processing agreement exists, and the vendor states all data is stored in Germany with the fiskaly cloud TSE on Frankfurt servers — a basis my data protection officer can start with. But I found no public information naming the hosting provider, the payment institution, a subprocessor list or security certifications, and the privacy policy shows WhatsApp communication via Meta Platforms Ireland with a US parent inside the chain, so the whole chain my works council must approve is not visible. 4 7 8
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
The contracting entity is Gastro-MIS GmbH of Gräfelfing with a Munich commercial register entry (HRB 123712), all data is stated to be stored in Germany with the fiskaly cloud TSE on Frankfurt servers, and a data processing agreement under Art. 28 DSGVO is concluded. But the hosting provider is left unnamed as a possible external Dienstleister, no subprocessor list is published, WhatsApp communication runs through Meta Platforms Ireland under a US parent, and we found no public information on security certifications such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2. 4 7 8
The Skeptic
A German GmbH with a Munich commercial register number, storage in Germany with the fiskaly cloud TSE on Frankfurt servers, and a published Art. 28 data processing agreement — that much the pages prove. But the hosting stays with an unnamed "externer Dienstleister", no subprocessor list is published, WhatsApp communication runs through Meta Platforms Ireland with its US parent, and we found no public information on security certifications. 4 7 8

Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: licence per till or per location, which modules (tables, kitchen display, stock, extra tills, DATEV export) cost extra, the TSE and its yearly fee, hardware to buy or rent, card terminal fees and transaction fees, setup and installation, support plans, minimum term and notice period.
0 — No public prices at all; every customer is a sales call or a dealer quote.
3 — A starting price or a free tier exists, but how cost scales with tills, locations, modules or hardware is unclear.
5 — Plans are public with their price per till or location and main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (the TSE, extra tills, hardware, card fees, setup) is unpriced or "on request".
8 — Every plan priced publicly with its scaling rule, the TSE, hardware and add-ons priced, card fees and terminal costs listed, setup and support priced, minimum term and VAT treatment stated.
10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given number of tills, locations, modules and card volume, with every add-on, hardware, TSE, setup, support and payment fee and the cancellation and data-return terms published.
The Café Owner
The packages are public and readable: Core from 99 €, Pro from 249 €, Max from 399 € net per month, with the POS licences each package includes, 49 € per further licence, 49 € for the kitchen or bar monitor and 75 € per ordering kiosk, and the with-and-without-payment footnotes show the payment bundling honestly. But I found no price for the TSE, the hardware, card transaction fees, setup or support — the payment page only says you pay the actual payment costs — and price and condition changes are reserved. 6 5 15
The Retail Shop Owner
The three plans are public with net monthly prices — 99€ / Monat, 249€ / Monat and 399€ / Monat, each costing more without the payment module — the included POS licences per package are stated, and further licences at 49€, the kitchen or bar monitor at 49€ and each order kiosk at 75€ are priced. For a two-branch budget we found no published prices for the TSE monthly booking, hardware, card transaction fees, setup or support, and the minimum contract term appears only as an FAQ topic without its figure. 4 5 6
The Tax Adviser
Three packages are priced publicly, net per month — Core ab 99 €, Pro ab 249 €, Max ab 399 €, each with the without-payment price stated — and the scaling rule is explicit: one, two or three POS licenses per package, each further license 49 €, an order kiosk 75 €, kitchen or bar monitor 49 €. We found no public prices for the TSE, hardware, card transaction fees, or setup and support; the FAQ names a minimum-contract-term topic, but no term figure appears on the captured pages. 4 5 6 15
The Hospitality Operations Manager
All three plans are public as net monthly prices — Core "ab 99€ / Monat", Pro "ab 249€ / Monat", Max "ab 399€ / Monat", each also priced without payment at 119 €, 369 € and 559 € per month — with included POS licences per package, "jede weitere Lizenz (stationär oder mobil) 49€", kiosks at 75€ and kitchen or bar monitors at 49€. I found no public information on TSE and hardware prices, the card transaction fees behind "du zahlst nur die tatsächlichen Payment-Kosten", or setup and support pricing; Enterprise is enquiry-only and "Änderungen der Preise und Konditionen bleiben vorbehalten", so I cannot compute my annual cost from public pages alone. 5 6
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
The licence side is unusually clear: three monthly packages at 99 €, 249 € and 399 € net per month — 119 €, 369 € and 559 € respectively without payment — with 1 to 3 POS-Lizenzen included, jede weitere Lizenz at 49 €, an order kiosk at 75 € and a kitchen or bar monitor at 49 €. But the TSE carries no price ('Bestelle deine TSE jetzt direkt bei uns im Shop'), hardware, setup and support are unpriced, and above all the girocard and credit card fees behind 'nur die tatsächlichen Payment-Kosten' are not published. A monthly subscription ('Monatsabo') is stated with no minimum term or notice period figure on the captured pages, so I cannot compute the real annual cost for a shop that closes in winter. 3 5 6
The Skeptic
Three packages with net monthly prices are public — Core 99 €, Pro 249 €, Max 399 €, each with its without-payment figure of 119 €, 369 € or 559 € — plus licence counts per package, additional licences at 49 €, kiosks at 75 € and kitchen or bar monitors at 49 €. But the TSE, hardware, the actual card fees, setup and support stay unpriced, Enterprise is "anfragen", and only an FAQ topic hints at a minimum term without stating its length. 5 6

Where this could be wrong
- Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 29 Oct 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
- Weak sourcing — Hosting options, Legal entity. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
- AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
