- Businesses wanting GoBD-ready records
orderbird is a Berlin-based iPad point-of-sale system built specifically for German gastronomy. It ships with a certified TSE (Technische Sicherheitseinrichtung) to meet the requirements of the KassenSichV under §146a AO, so every transaction is recorded tamper-proof from day one.
The system integrates directly with DATEV, simplifying the handover of daily takings to your tax advisor and supporting GoBD-compliant bookkeeping. A data-processing agreement (AV-Vertrag) is included in every plan, and data is hosted in the EU.
For restaurants, cafés and bars that need a fiscally compliant cash register without enterprise complexity, orderbird is a pragmatic, DACH-native choice.
