The panel's verdict
ready2order GmbH, an Austrian company seated in Vienna with a Berlin postal address, sells a cloud till for small businesses in gastronomy, retail and services, bundling a cloud TSE with every system. Its clearest strength is pricing transparency, scored 8 to 9: 35,90 € monthly per till device or 430,80 € prepaid, TSE package 15,90 €, gastro 23,90 €, card fee 1,23 % with no base fee, hardware from a 1,05 € receipt roll to the 1.199,00 € readyMax 2, a 99 € activation fee, setup at 349 € and training at 199 €. Fiscal compliance and operations and locations sit at a flat 6: TSE signing, the DSFinV-K export and Austrian RKSV are documented, but the TSE provider is not named and we found no public information on cross-site reporting or price management pushed to branches. No criterion spread the judges by more than a point and no significant disagreement was computed; on sovereignty (6 to 7) the gap turns on weighing a published subprocessor list and AWS Frankfurt hosting against an unnamed TSE provider and no public information on certifications.
Speaks for it
- Publishes nearly the whole year of costs — 35,90 € monthly per till device or 430,80 € prepaid, a 99 € activation fee, every module and hardware item priced down to the 1,05 € receipt roll — all stated exclusive of VAT
- Charges a flat 1,23 % card fee with no base fee or minimum turnover — a worked example shows 123 € gross, 1,51 € fee, 121,49 € net within 2–3 banking days from the named partner hobex
- Bundles a cloud TSE with every till and documents the DSFinV-K export, ten-year GoBD archiving and Austrian RKSV signing with FinanzOnline registration
- Hands off deeply to accounting, with a free manual DATEV export, a paid daily or monthly direct export to DATEV Unternehmen Online, interim accounts for SKR 03/04, BMD and RZL exports and a separate login for the tax adviser
- Runs on iOS, Android, Windows and macOS as well as own priced terminals from the 649,00 € readyTab to the 1.199,00 € readyMax 2, with an offline emergency mode documented in the TSE log
Held against it
- The TSE provider is not named, and we found no public information on a BSI certificate, a procedure documentation template or the procedure when a TSE fails
- The card fee is one flat rate with no per-card-type breakdown, we found no public information on chargeback fees, and the captured pages give different trial lengths for the digital receipt, 14 and 15 days
- We found no public information on cross-site reporting, central price management pushed to branches or stock transfers between locations, and operations and locations holds at 6
- The API appears only as a navigation item, and we found no public information on webhooks or a developer portal behind it
- We found no public information on a published data-processing agreement, ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certifications, or data-return terms after cancellation
Best for
- You run a café, bar or restaurant and want table plans, wireless ordering to kitchen and bar, split bills and happy hour in the 23,90 € gastro package
- You want to compute a full year of costs before signing — every module, hardware item and card fee is published up front
- Your accountant works in DATEV, BMD or RZL and you want automated exports plus a separate login for the adviser
- You sell seasonally at stalls or events and need day and month licences plus a 79,00 € SumUp Solo terminal at 1,39 % as a second device
Avoid if
- You run a multi-site group that needs central menu and price management pushed to branches, local overrides and cross-site reporting — operations and locations scored 6 with exactly these gaps cited
- Your build depends on a documented developer API — the interface appears only as a navigation item and we found no public documentation of webhooks or a developer portal
- You must know chargeback fees and per-card-type costs before committing — the pages publish one flat 1,23 % rate, and the hobex contract continues even if you cancel the till subscription

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
The till app runs on iPad, Android, Windows and Mac, with own devices possible or hardware at printed prices (readyTab, readyGo 2, readyMax 2 with removable customer display, Epson printer, cash drawer, 2D scanner); split bills, side dishes, menu courses and happy hour come in the gastro package, receipts go to paper or a tax-compliant QR-code Bon, and an emergency mode when the internet drops is documented in the TSE log and on receipts. We found no public information on returns and cancellations, scales, or the limits of the offline mode such as how long it lasts and whether cards still run. 1 6 9 10 13
The Retail Shop Owner
The till runs on iPad, Android, Windows and Mac, and the pages list and price own terminals (readyTab with built-in printer and scanner, readyMax 2 with detachable customer display) plus named third-party gear such as the Epson TM-m30II printer, a Metapace cash drawer and a 2D barcode scanner. Digital receipts go to the phone by QR code, claimed 100 % tax-office compliant, with a paper reprint always possible, and an offline emergency mode is recorded in the TSE log and on receipts. I found no public information on scales, barcode label printing, the limits of the offline mode, or returns handling at the till. 1 6 9 10 13
The Tax Adviser
A till app for iOS, Android, Windows and macOS, an own hardware family priced one-time (readyTab, readyGo 2, readyMax 2, readyMini) plus an Epson printer, Metapace cash drawer and Inateck 2D scanner, with receipt rolls matched to named printers, a tax-compliant digital bon by QR code including reprint, and an emergency mode at internet failure documented in the TSE log. We found no public information on offline limits, returns and cancellations, scales, rentable hardware, or any uptime or status commitment. 1 3 6 9 10 13
The Hospitality Operations Manager
The till runs on their own priced terminals (readyTab, readyGo 2, readyMax 2 with customer display, readyMini) or as an app on iOS, Android, Windows and macOS, with printers, cash drawer, scanner and receipt rolls listed at fixed prices, a QR-code digital receipt declared 100% tax-authority compliant, and an offline emergency mode documented in the TSE log and on receipts. We found no public information on how long offline operation lasts or how it syncs, on scales, on returns and cancellations, or on hardware rental terms. 9 10 13 6 1
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
The till app runs on iOS, Android, Windows and macOS and on their own devices from readyTab at 649,00 € einmalig up to readyMax 2 with customer display at 1.199,00 €, alongside a priced Epson printer, cash drawer and 2D scanner, and the digital bon by QR code is described as 100% finanzamtkonform. A Notfallbetrieb for internet outages is documented in the TSE protocol, but we found no public information on how long it lasts, which payments it covers or stated battery life for the mobile devices. 1 6 9 10 13
The Skeptic
A priced hardware line-up (readyTab 649 €, readyGo 2 389 €, readyMax 2 1,199 € with removable customer display), the app on iOS, Android, Windows and macOS, a named Epson printer, cash drawer and scanner, receipt rolls listed by fit, and a digital receipt by QR code claimed tax-office-compliant. An offline emergency mode is stated and said to be documented in the TSE protocol, but its limits are not, and we found no public information on scales, returns handling or hardware rental terms. 9 10 13 6
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
readyPay takes Maestro/V PAY, MasterCard, Visa, Apple Pay and Google Pay at a flat 1.23% with no base fee, tips can be taken cashless, payouts arrive in two to three banking days, the partner hobex is named with its own dashboard, the hobex contract survives cancelling the till subscription, and a SumUp Solo terminal at 1.39% is offered as an alternative. I found no girocard in the named card list, the fee is one flat rate rather than per card type, and we found no public information on tap-to-pay on a phone or card fees reconciled to the daily closing. 4 6 9 11 12
The Retail Shop Owner
readyPay accepts Maestro/V PAY, Mastercard, Visa, Apple Pay and Google Pay at a published 1,23 % per transaction with no base fee, payouts land in two to three banking days from the named partner hobex, and a worked example shows a 123 € sale costing 1,51 € in fees for a 121,49 € net payout. Cashless tips are supported, the SumUp Solo terminal at 1,39 % is offered as an alternative, and the hobex contract survives cancellation of the POS subscription. I found no public information on fees broken down by card type, chargebacks, or the regulated status of the payment institution. 4 6 9 11 12
The Tax Adviser
readyPay is integrated with the payment partner hobex named, accepting Maestro/V PAY, MasterCard, Visa, Apple Pay and Google Pay, at a published flat 1.23% transaction fee with a worked example, payouts within two to three banking days, a cashless tip function, and a SumUp Solo terminal at 1.39% as an alternative; the hobex contract continues even if the POS subscription is cancelled. We found no public information on girocard, fees differentiated per card type, chargebacks, or any acquirer beyond hobex and SumUp. 1 4 6 9 11 12
The Hospitality Operations Manager
readyPay names its payment partner hobex, publishes a flat 1,23% transaction fee with a worked payout example, charges no base fee or minimum turnover, pays out in two to three banking days, supports cashless tips, and offers a SumUp Solo terminal as an alternative at 1,39% — with the hobex contract surviving cancellation of the POS subscription. We found no public information on fees broken down by card type, on chargebacks, or on reconciling card takings to the daily closing. 4 12 11 6 1 9
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
This is close to what I need at a Christmas stall: readyPay with partner hobex takes Maestro/V PAY, MasterCard, Visa, Apple Pay and Google Pay at a flat "1,23% Transaktionsgebühr" with no base fee, no minimum turnover, no cancellation needed and payout in 2–3 banking days, and the hobex contract even survives cancelling the till subscription. A SumUp Solo at "79,00 € einmalig" with "1,39% Transaktionsgebühr" gives me a second terminal choice. We found no girocard-specific figure or per-card-type fee breakdown, and no public information on tap-to-pay on the phone or card payments reconciled to the daily closing. 1 4 6 9 11 12
The Skeptic
1,23 % per transaction, no base fee, no minimum turnover, a worked payout example (123 € gross, 1,51 € fee, 121,49 € net within 2–3 banking days) and the acquirer hobex named with its own PartnerNet for statements. The hobex contract outlives cancellation of the till subscription and a SumUp Solo at 1,39 % is a second terminal; the fee is not broken out by card type, and we found no public information on chargeback fees or tap-to-pay on a phone. 4 11 12 9
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 cloud TSE is bundled — they write they sell no till without one — receipts carry cash register number, TSE number, start and end times, Prüfwert and signature counter, data is provided as a DSFinV-K export, GoBD ten-year archiving is claimed, and there is a cash book and a daily closing that the DATEV upload waits for; Austria is covered with RKSV signatures from certified trust providers as a QR code and FinanzOnline registration in the admin interface. We found no public information naming the TSE provider or a BSI certificate, a procedure documentation, help with the German registration duty, or what happens when the TSE fails. 1 3 5 13 14 18

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
The gastro package covers my café's core — table plan and management, Funkbonierung to kitchen and bar, side dishes and menu courses, split bills, happy hour and takeaway — plus staff PINs with different rights, a multi-login pin, shift planning and an employee report, with stock counts on an auto-generated PDF or Excel list, low-stock alerts, minimum and reorder levels, sets, and bestseller and per-product profit reports, and the till is said to suit several locations. We found no public information on suppliers and purchase orders, recipes, a per-employee log of cancellations, cross-site reporting or stock transfers between branches. 1 2 6 9 15
The Retail Shop Owner
Products import by CSV — essential for my four thousand articles — with stock, reorder and minimum levels in one list, low-stock alerts, stock counts as PDF or Excel, profit per product and bestseller reports, plus staff access rights, a multi-login PIN, shift planning, an employee report, and the vendor naming one or several locations as a fit with a central product catalogue. For my two branches I found no public information on stock transfers between shops, supplier and purchase-order management, or article variants for the same product in different colours. 1 2 15
The Tax Adviser
Stock management with counts, reorder and minimum levels, low-stock notifications, sets and arbitrary quantities; a gastro package with table plan, wireless bon printing to kitchen and bar, courses and split bills; staff access rights, a multi-login PIN, an employee report and product statistics; and suitability for one or several Standorte with a central product catalog synchronised across channels. We found no public information on suppliers and purchase orders, a kitchen display, self-order, a cancellation log per employee, or cross-site reporting. 1 2 6 13 15 16
The Hospitality Operations Manager
The gastro package covers table plan and management, wireless ordering to kitchen and bar, courses and side dishes, split bills and happy hour, stock management includes counts, reorder and minimum levels with low-stock alerts, and staff get differentiated access rights, a multi-login pin and an hours and shift report. As an eight-site operator I cannot go higher: we found no public information on central menu and price management pushed to branches, local overrides, cross-site reporting, or a per-employee log of cancellations and voids — the vendor positions itself mainly for small businesses at one or more locations. 2 15 1 6 4
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
Stock with Mindestbestand and low-stock alerts, Bestandszählungen with a generated PDF or Excel list, profit per product and bestseller statistics are documented, staff get access rights, a multi-login PIN and shift planning with an employee report, and the gastro package adds table plans and Funkbonierung to kitchen/bar. We found no public information on suppliers and purchase orders, a log of cancellations per employee, or central price management pushed to several branches — only a statement that the system suits one or more locations. 1 2 15
The Skeptic
Stock with reorder and minimum levels, stock counts with generated PDF or Excel lists, per-product profit, a central product catalogue and CSV import are documented, alongside tables, wireless ordering to kitchen and bar, split bills, staff PINs with access rights and shift plans, and use at one or several sites.

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 is real: a manual export is free in the subscription, an automatic daily or monthly upload to DATEV Unternehmen Online costs extra, bookings group per invoice, per daily closing or per product group, tax rates and an interim account (1460 for SKR 04) are handled, and my tax advisor gets their own login; BMD is named as a second booking system and receipts go as PDF by email. The API appears only as a word in the navigation with no documentation, and we found no public information on a full export of articles, customers and sales or the fiscal journal when the contract ends. 1 5 10 15 17 18
The Retail Shop Owner
The manual DATEV export is free in the subscription and a paid add-on pushes bookings automatically daily or monthly to DATEV Unternehmen Online, grouped per invoice, daily closing or product group, with BMD and RZL also named, tax rates and a technical interim account handled, receipts sendable as PDF by e-mail, and a separate login for my tax adviser without sharing my password. I found no public information on a documented developer API beyond a navigation link, webhooks, card payouts and fees booked separately for reconciliation, or a complete export of articles, customers and receipts when the contract ends. 1 4 5 17 18

A manual DATEV export is included free, and a paid DATEV Direktexport transfers automatically daily or monthly to DATEV Unternehmen Online once the day or month is fully closed, with grouping per Z-Bon or product group, booking data including tax rates and payment types, a configurable technical interim account (SKR 03 1360, SKR 04 1460) plus a reverse-charge account, BMD and RZL exports, and a separate access for the tax adviser. We found no public information on webhooks, a developer portal, or a stated full export of articles, customers and sales when the contract ends. 1 2 5 17 18

The DATEV handoff is deep: a manual export included free, a paid direct export to DATEV Unternehmen Online daily or monthly with grouping by daily closing or product groups, interim account handling for SKR 03 and SKR 04 with tax rates, BMD and RZL as further named exports, and a separate login for my tax advisor.

The Fee-Conscious Merchant
DATEV is deep here: the manual export is included at no cost, the "DATEV Direktexport" transmits daily or monthly to DATEV Unternehmen Online with grouping by Z-Bon or product groups, interim accounts for SKR 03/04 are explained, BMD and RZL are named, and the tax advisor can get separate access to the till and admin backend.

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 company is an Austrian GmbH in Vienna under the Vienna commercial court, the platform runs on Amazon Web Services in Frankfurt (their own line is stored on German servers), and the privacy policy names subprocessors with addresses — AWS Frankfurt, a London help-centre provider, Cloudflare and Domo in the USA secured by standard contractual clauses and the Data Privacy Framework, Twilio for SMS, plus Austrian and Italian firms — with an external data protection officer and 180-day deletion after cancellation documented. We found no public information on a published data processing agreement, ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certifications, or the identity of the TSE provider. 1 2 7 8 9 12

The contract partner is ready2order GmbH in Vienna with a Berlin postal address for German customers, and the platform and backups run on Amazon Web Services in Frankfurt; the privacy policy lists its processors with names and purposes — Survicate in Poland, Twilio Ireland, but also Cloudflare and Domo in the USA and a London help-centre provider — with standard contractual clauses and the Data Privacy Framework stated as safeguards, and an external data protection officer in Vienna named. I found no public information on a published data processing agreement or the vendor's own security certifications. 1 2 7 8 9
The Tax Adviser
The contracting entity is ready2order GmbH in Vienna (Firmenbuch FN 437331i, Handelsgericht Wien) with a Berlin postal address; hosting is on German servers, with Amazon Web Services in Frankfurt named, and the subprocessors are listed with locations and transfer mechanisms, including Cloudflare in the USA under standard contractual clauses, Domo and Twilio under the Data Privacy Framework, HelpDocs in the UK, Survicate in Poland and DATO in Italy. We found no public information on security certifications, a published data processing agreement, or the location of the cloud TSE provider and hobex. 1 7 8 9
The Hospitality Operations Manager
The contracting entity is ready2order GmbH in Vienna under the Handelsgericht Wien, hosting runs on Amazon Web Services in Frankfurt, and the privacy policy lists subprocessors with locations and transfer mechanisms — Cloudflare in the USA under standard contractual clauses, Domo under the Data Privacy Framework, plus an external Austrian data protection officer. For my works council and DPO sign-off, the cloud TSE provider is unnamed and we found no published data processing agreement and no ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification. 8 7 1 14
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
An Austrian GmbH seated in Vienna with a Berlin postal address, data "auf deutschen Servern" at Amazon Web Services in Frankfurt, an external Viennese data protection officer, and a privacy policy naming subprocessors with their addresses. Cloudflare (CDN, USA), Domo (analytics, USA) and Twilio sit in the chain, covered by Standardvertragsklauseln or the Data Privacy Framework, and support documents run through a UK provider; we found no public information on ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certifications, a published data processing agreement, or where the cloud TSE itself operates. 1 7 8
The Skeptic
An Austrian GmbH in Vienna with a Berlin postal address hosts on named German infrastructure (Amazon Web Services, Frankfurt) and publishes a subprocessor list with locations and stated safeguards — Standardvertragsklauseln for Cloudflare, the Data Privacy Framework for Domo and Twilio — plus an external data-protection officer in Vienna. We found no public information naming the provider behind the cloud TSE, on a published data-processing agreement, on ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certifications, or on the vendor's ownership on the captured pages. 7 8 9
Pricing transparency
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
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
I can read my whole second year off the pages: 35.90 € per till per month (430.80 € prepaid), TSE package 15.90 €, gastro package 23.90 €, cash book 13.90 €, digital receipt 7.90 €, DATEV automatic upload 7.90 €, hardware from a 79.00 € drawer to a 1,199.00 € readyMax 2, cards at 1.23% with no base fee, free support, optional setup at 349 € and training at 199 €, a one-time 99 € activation fee, one month's notice on the annual plan, day and month licences, and all prices expressly excluding VAT. We found no public information on renting hardware, per-location pricing, or data-return terms after cancellation. 1 2 5 6 9 10 11 13
The Retail Shop Owner
Nearly everything I need to budget two tills is public: 35,90 € a month per till device (430,80 € prepaid yearly), a one-time 99 € activation fee, the TSE at 15,90 € a month, the cash book, digital receipt and DATEV add-on each priced, card fees at 1,23 % with the SumUp terminal at 1,39 %, every hardware item from the 649,00 € readyTab down to a receipt roll from 1,05 €, setup at 349 €, training at 199 €, free support, monthly cancellation or annual renewal with one month's notice, and all prices marked exclusive of VAT. The only piece I could not find is the data-return terms after cancellation. 1 4 5 6 9 10 11
The Tax Adviser
Every module is priced publicly: the Kassensystem-Abo at 35,90 € monthly per Kassengerät, TSE-Paket 15,90 €, Gastro-Paket 23,90 €, Kassenbuch 13,90 €, Digitaler Beleg 7,90 € and DATEV Direktexport 7,90 €, alongside a 99 € activation fee, one-time hardware prices, readyPay at 1,23 % and SumUp Solo at 1,39 %, setup at 349 € and training at 199 €, free support, notice periods (monthly cancellable, annual with one month's notice) and prices excluding VAT. We found no public information on data-return terms after cancellation or chargeback fees. 1 2 5 6 9 10 11 13
The Hospitality Operations Manager
Everything I need to cost eight sites is on public pages: the till subscription at 35,90 € monthly per device with annual prepayment figures stated, a one-time 99 € activation fee, the TSE at 15,90 €, gastro at 23,90 €, digital receipt and DATEV export at 7,90 € each, cash book at 13,90 €, every hardware item priced one-time, setup at 349 € and training at 199 €, card fees at 1,23 % with the SumUp alternative at 1,39 %, monthly cancellation or annual renewal with one month's notice, and prices stated excluding VAT. We found no public information on data-return terms after cancellation, which is the only piece missing from a fully computable annual cost. 6 5 1 4 10 2
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
I can almost compute my year from the price page alone: the Kassensystem-Abo at "35,90 € monatlich" or "430,80 € pro Jahr bei jährlicher Vorauszahlung" pro Kassengerät, a one-time 99 € activation fee, TSE-Paket at "15,90 € monatlich", gastro, Kassenbuch, digital bon and DATEV add-ons each priced monthly and annually, every device and accessory from 79,00 € to 1.199,00 €, setup at 349 € and training at 199 €, free support, stated notice periods, prices excl. VAT, and day and month licences for my closed season. What keeps it short of full computability: we found no published chargeback fees and no data-return terms after cancellation. 1 5 6 13
The Skeptic
The year is computable from public pages: 35,90 € per till monthly or 430,80 € prepaid, TSE-Paket 15,90 €, gastro 23,90 €, cash book 13,90 €, digital receipt and DATEV direct export 7,90 € each, card fee 1,23 % without base fee, every hardware item priced from the 1,05 € receipt roll to the 1.199,00 € readyMax 2, setup at 349 €, training at 199 €, a 99 € activation fee, VAT treatment stated and the annual renewal with one month's notice. We found no public information on chargeback fees or the terms for returning data on exit; the captured pages also give different trial lengths for the digital receipt, 14 and 15 days. 6 5 9 11 1

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 location, 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.
