A digital Cashbook for hospitality & small businesses – 100% tax office compliant

A cash book is mandatory as soon as you handle cash. Many people still do it with slips of paper or Excel and risk mistakes and stress in a POS inspection. With orderbird it finally becomes simple: our digital Cashbook is built firmly into your POS system – whether you work with orderbird PRO or orderbird MINI.

Get through the POS inspection stress-free – from as little as 60 € a year.

Why a digital Cashbook is indispensable

Cash income and expenditure has to be documented completely – that is a legal requirement. Handwritten entries or Excel are no longer enough for it. Anyone working sloppily risks back payments or penalties in a POS inspection.

With orderbird it runs more simply: all income and expenditure is recorded automatically, stored securely and can be called up at any time. So you have your till under control. With no extra effort and with a good feeling about the next POS inspection.
