Essential for hospitality establishments, the cash register is a piece of equipment whose many features are still unknown to many restaurant owners. To help you better understand the characteristics and specific features of these machines, we answer the most frequently asked questions on this subject.

Who needs a cash register?

All businesses with a turnover of more than €25,000 from meals (excluding drinks) are required to have a cash register system. This requirement applies to hospitality establishments that offer food for consumption on the premises, regardless of their activity: bakeries, fast food outlets, restaurants, brasseries, food trucks, bars, pizzerias, etc.

Using a cash register for restaurants has many advantages. It allows you to:

• optimise order taking,
• reduce customer waiting time,
• increase command execution speed,
• save time,
• increase yield
• etc.

Good to know: Each year, catering establishments must estimate the amount of revenue generated by the consumption of meals on the premises. Takeaway meals, delivered meals and drinks are excluded from this calculation.

Where can I buy a cash register?

There are several suppliers of this equipment in Belgium. But the best-performing models are available from approved distributors such as RESTOMAX.

Since 2015, RESTOMAX has been offering high-quality white boxes with a complete ecosystem. They are not only ergonomic and lightweight, but also highly reliable.

RESTOMAX tills have been designed to guarantee productivity and working comfort for restaurant owners.

Control terminal: how much does it cost?

The price of a kiosk depends on many parameters. The design of the screen, the frame of the support, the quality of the integrated software and the display technology are all criteria that influence the price.

The value of the model is also calculated according to the services that accompany the order: installation, transport, etc.

Is there such a thing as a 100% Belgian cash register?

Although there are more than fifty approved SCE suppliers in Belgium, few of them can claim to be 100% Belgian.

In fact, most retailers call on external partners for the elements that revolve around the checkout: order terminals, kitchen screens, etc.

However, at RESTOMAX, our cash register systems are guaranteed 100% Belgian. All our products are developed in-house, and we provide 100% support 7/7.
