Success with the new trends, technologies, and consumer wishes – POSGARD supports you fully!
In the coming weeks, large-scale inspections will be carried out, more than there have been in recent months. Pay special attention during the weekend after Horeca Expo, November 25-27, 2016!
If your business is required to comply and does not yet have the "White Cash Register" and the black box, the inspector will immediately issue a EUR 1,500 fine.
Contact us now for more information about the conditions regarding a black box in your business. We may be able to use your current POS system to bring it into compliance.
POSGARD is available all week, including weekends, to answer your questions—preferably by email to help you faster during busy periods—and to schedule an appointment with you. You receive a free black box with the Premium POS systems from some of our resellers, such as Allin1POS.com.

The Black box is the certified control unit for cash registers as mandated by Belgian legislation since January 1, 2015, for restaurants and other dining establishments. POSGARD will support businesses subject to this obligation with specially developed certified POS software.
POSGARD has been involved in the working group for cash register systems since the beginning of the process. As an innovative player, POSGARD has advocated for keeping the regulations practical, ensuring that only the software and not the hardware needs to be certified. In principle, the certified software can be placed on any new PC. This means you will experience much more freedom in your relationship with suppliers. Below you will find more information about the black box and what POSGARD can do for you. POSGARD is the most innovative player in the market with the most experience in integrated POS systems linked with the online or mobile applications you desire, which are already used by 70% of Belgians. POSGARD ensures that you turn the black box development into an improved situation for you and your customers!

1/1/2014: voluntary implementation
1/1/2015: start of mandatory implementation
The government today sent letters to the relevant businesses. The use of a GKS (Registered Cash Register System) or Black box register is mandatory from January 1, 2015, for every operator who realizes at least EUR 25,000 of their turnover from on-site meal consumption:
1) The operator applies the EUR 25,000 rule to the previous year's turnover. If the result is EUR 25,000 or more, the GKS/Black box must be installed.
2) These operators must register as mandatory GKS users on the Government website by February 28, 2015, at the latest. Only legal representatives of the company can perform this registration. If you wish to receive the guide, please contact us!
Interesting to know:
The VSC card required to be placed in the Black box can only be requested once you, as an operator, have placed an order for a GKS. You then provide the identification number of the POS system and the black box!
The Government has taken additional relief measures for the relevant entrepreneurs. Contact your accountant for more information about potential savings on social security contributions. In any case, a transition to a more professional cash register system linked to easy-to-use online & mobile applications is an absolute advancement for your business and profit! Especially for the smart entrepreneur who considers the wishes of the increasingly demanding consumer and customer.

Our WaiterAPP won the Baanbreker Innovation Award in 2014 and the marketing tool YouTagWeTag in 2016!
The POSGARD WaiterAPP allows your staff to quickly take orders at tables and inform customers about potential allergens without training! – A winner for everyone!
With YouTagWeTag, POSGARD offers a smart marketing tool that collects data from various sources (POS, registration, loyalty cards, social media...), organizes it neatly, and divides customers and products into groups ('tags'). This allows for sending personalized messages or suggestions, e.g., a new menu, product, or reserving the last 2 tables that define the profitability of the business!
Additionally, YouTagWeTag offers the possibility to involve the consumer in the tags: the customer completes or corrects existing tags to make communication more targeted and prevent spam.
