## 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

## Scores by judge and criterion

Scores out of 5, each judge scoring independently against the published rubric (v1). "n/r" = not rated: the vendor publishes no price, or the judge found no public information on that criterion.

### The judges

- **The Café Owner** (v1.0): Runs a café with twelve tables, a counter and a terrace in summer, and closes the till herself at eleven at night. Wants an iPad till the student staff learn in one shift, orders that reach the kitchen printer, split bills and tips without arithmetic, a till that keeps selling when the Wi-Fi drops, a TSE she does not have to think about, and a monthly cost she can still read in the second year.
- **The Retail Shop Owner** (v1.0): Owns a stationery and gift shop with a second branch across town and about four thousand articles, many in several colours. Wants barcodes scanned at the till, stock that shows what the other branch still has, transfers between the two shops, suppliers and reorders in the same back office, vouchers that work in both branches, and the month's sales handed to the tax adviser without a USB stick.
- **The Tax Adviser** (v1.0): Looks after the books of sixty restaurants, bakeries and shops and has sat in on more than one unannounced Kassennachschau. Wants the TSE named with its certificate, a DSFinV-K export that opens in the auditor's software, the § 146a registration done, a procedure documentation that exists before it is asked for, a DATEV export with the right revenue accounts, and ten years of records still readable after the client changes tills.
- **The Hospitality Operations Manager** (v1.0): Runs operations for a group of eight restaurants in three cities with two hundred staff. Wants one menu and price list pushed to every site with local exceptions, staff rights that stop a waiter voiding his own bills, reports that compare sites by the hour, and a works council and data protection officer who can sign off what the till records about employees and loyalty guests, and where it is hosted.
- **The Fee-Conscious Merchant** (v1.0): Sells ice cream from a shop in spring and summer and from a market stall at Christmas, mostly in amounts under five euros, and more of them by card every year. Wants the fee per girocard and credit card payment on the price page, a terminal he can choose rather than the one the till insists on, hardware that runs off a battery, no monthly fee in the closed months, and the real cost of "free".
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Has seen a "free" till paid for twice over in card fees, printers that work with one vendor's software only, a TSE charged by the year on top of the licence, and a cancelled contract that left ten years of fiscal journals behind a login. Reads "100 % finanzamtkonform" with no TSE provider named and "DATEV-ready" with no export format — and asks what leaving would cost.
