iKentoo
iPad till (Lightspeed group) used by fine-dining restaurants and bars.
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. iKentoo, from the Lightspeed group, runs on iPad in fine-dining restaurants and bars: table service, receipts and bills are the heart of the business. Go with the vendor; build elsewhere.
