Although restaurateurs are currently preoccupied with the lockdown, the pandemic, and fulfilling takeout and delivery orders, it's also important to remember the mandatory replacement of cash registers, which must be completed by the end of the year . While a bill extending the deadline for cash register replacement was submitted to the Sejm on December 9, 2020, the matter was omitted during the last session of the Sejm. There's no indication that a postponement will occur, despite the hopes of many restaurateurs.
That's why we encourage you to replace your cash register as soon as possible. We recommend the POSbistro system and a fiscal printer – a set that allows you to record sales in accordance with the latest requirements. If you're planning to replace your equipment but are also interested in selling food online , choose POSbistro and our new online ordering system!
Replacing cash registers – what are the options?
The restaurant industry is required to install an online cash register and record sales thereafter by December 31, 2021. Unlike traditional cash registers, online cash registers are connected to the internet and transmit current sales data to the Central Cash Register Repository.
The Act includes the term "obligation to use online cash registers", but in practice it means both an online cash register and a POS system with an online fiscal printer , which performs the same functions - it allows you to register sales, send data to CRK and print fiscal receipts.
So what are the differences between a cash register and a POS system with a fiscal printer?
Online cash register
An online cash register is a cash register that has been enhanced with the function of connecting to the Internet and sending sales data to CRK. Buying a cash register is a relatively high, one-time cost, and the cash register can operate for a specified period of time (several years) or until a significant change in the regulations. An online cash register allows for sales, but does not offer many advanced functions dedicated to gastronomy.
Therefore, in order to streamline work in the premises and manage it better, the restaurateur can purchase a POS system and conduct most of the operations using it.
Fiscal printer + POS system
A cash register isn't the only device that can record online sales. Restaurant software, such as the POSbistro system , is an excellent solution . To record sales and print receipts, you need to purchase an online fiscal printer . This solution significantly speeds up order processing – the waiter only enters and records the order at the POS, and the printer issues the receipt. With both a cash register and POS, the waiter must enter the order in two places.
Moreover, unlike a cash register, the POSbistro system features advanced software designed for restaurants . Owners gain constant access to current sales data, the ability to generate reports, and manage inventory and staff. The use of mobile technologies allows for faster order processing and automatic transmission of information, for example, to the kitchen or supplier.
