Get started

Working without TSE

When your restaurant can operate without a TSE) and what will then be shown on receipts and in the cash register export.

The POS system also works without a TSE ( Technical Security Equipment): You can place orders, process payments, and close shifts. However, the transactions are not digitally signed. For POS operation in Germany, an active TSE is mandatory; without a TSE, Servire is only suitable for setup and testing.

When no TSE is active

  • ** Servire Free and Trial Phase**: These tariffs do not include TSE.

  • Subscription, but no TSE yet: The owner sees the message Your cash register is currently working without TSE on the overview with **Set up TSE **.

  • ** TSE deactivated**: The message reads The TSE of this company is deactivated, with **Reactivate TSE **.

  • ** TSE not included**: For some activations by Servire , TSE and cash register reporting are excluded. The ** TSE** tab will indicate this.

The information on the overview can be hidden for this restaurant using Don't show again.

What happens without TSE

  • Receipts bear the note Receipt created without TSE equipment and are not considered receipts within the meaning of the German Cash KassenSichV).

  • The DSFinV-K export shows that the TSE was missing for every transaction.

  • Guest orders, order terminal, voucher shop and delivery services continue to operate and are recorded unsigned, just like at the checkout.

  • Cash register reporting, TSE export and failed transactions are only available with TSE.

Start with TSE

Set up the TSE before you process real sales: Create TSE. You can then delete any practice data from before. Transactions that were only temporarily unsigned with an active TSE are a different case: Failed TSE transactions.
