AirKitchen
NF525 touchscreen till for restaurants and food businesses, including hotels and campsites.
In France, till software must be NF525-certified or covered by a certificate of compliance (article 286 of the French tax code): an in-house till has neither, with a fine of €7,500 per non-compliant system. AirKitchen is a touchscreen till for restaurants and food businesses, including hotels and campsites: takings, receipts and closings must remain tamper-proof. Go with the vendor; keep custom work for the extras (menu, reservations).
