Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Hospitality Operations Manager

Weighted verdict

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.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Checkout, receipts & hardware

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 Hospitality Operations Manager

Two device families are documented — an iOS till app on the Apple iPad and the Android POS Go with integrated scanner, receipt printer and card reader — extendable with receipt printers, barcode scanners, customer-facing displays and iPad stands, and receipts are printed, emailed or shown as a QR code, the channels the TSE page presents alongside the German receipt obligation. An offline mode is stated with automatic cloud synchronisation on reconnection, though its limits are not described. The gastronomy features I need are named — table plan, reservations, wireless ordering, tips — but I found no public information on split bills or on hardware rent-versus-buy terms. 1 2 3 4 10 11

Card payments & fees

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.

Report an error

The Hospitality Operations Manager

Card acceptance runs through Unzer terminals, mobile and stationary, fully integrated into the till with cash, EC, credit card and mobile payment named, a live transaction dashboard, and all Unzer card readers connectable to the Tillhub till. The captured pages call the transaction and base fees low but give no figures, and I found no public information on payout timing, terminal costs, tips and split payments on the terminal, or using an acquirer or terminal other than Unzer's. For eight restaurants across three cities I cannot compute what payments would cost us from what is published. 1 4 11

Report an error

Fiscal compliance (TSE, DSFinV-K, RKSV)

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.

Report an error

The Hospitality Operations Manager

A cloud TSE from fiskaly, certified by the BSI, is named for all systems, receipts are automatically signed and archived, KassenSichV and GoBD conformity are stated across pages, and daily closings with a ten-year digital archive of every receipt are documented — that covers the German basics for my group. The retail page offers a one-click export with all relevant data for tax auditors, but I found no public information naming the DSFinV-K format for a Kassennachschau, a procedure documentation template, help with registration under § 146a AO, or Austrian RKSV. 2 3 8 10 11

Inventory, tables, staff & locations

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.

Report an error

The Hospitality Operations Manager

This is close to what I run day to day: all branches managed in one app, central stock across branches with supplier management and digital inventory counts, price books that change prices automatically by time period or per branch, live cross-branch dashboards from any browser, and over sixty real-time statistics. Staff get individual access rights, storno permissions per employee, per-employee sales analyses and a cash count at shift change — my waiter cannot void a bill without the right. Tables, reservations, wireless ordering and tips are named for gastronomy, though I found no public information on a kitchen display, guest self-ordering, recipes or stock transfers between branches. 1 3 10 11

Report an error

Accounting handoff, DATEV & data export

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.

Report an error

The Hospitality Operations Manager

A DATEV-conformant handover to the tax advisor is offered monthly or quarterly, alongside CSV, Excel and PDF exports of sales, stock and staff reports, a one-click export for tax auditors and a prepared export for the accountant from the daily closing. I found no public information on a documented API or webhooks, booking with revenue accounts and tax rates, DATEV Kassenarchiv online or Unternehmen online, or a full export of articles, customers and fiscal journals when a contract ends. 3 10 11

European sovereignty

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.

Report an error

The Hospitality Operations Manager

The contracting entity is UTill Commerce GmbH in Hamburg with a Hamburg commercial register number, hosting is stated as encrypted on redundant servers in Germany with all data stored immutably there, and the cloud TSE comes from fiskaly with BSI certification — the core of the chain my data protection officer must sign off is at least locatable. Since 2022 the vendor has been part of the Unzer group, and website analytics run through US services named as Google Doubleclick and Hubspot; I found no public information on a published data processing agreement, the full subprocessor list behind the till itself, or certification beyond ISO 27001 for the development process. 4 6 7 8 10 11

Pricing transparency

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.

Report an error

The Hospitality Operations Manager

The pricing page shows two public starting points — POS Go ab 30 € pro Monat including the TSE and iPad Kassen ab 69 € pro Monat — plus a free demo. The transaction and base fees are described only as low with no numbers, and I found no public information on hardware prices, extra tills, setup costs, support plans, minimum term or how the starting prices scale with branches. I cannot compute the annual cost for my eight restaurants from the captured pages alone. 4 5
