Fiscalization

Connecting fiscal printers and online cash registers to comply with tax legislation.

1. Overview#

Fiscalization is a legal requirement in many countries: every financial transaction must be registered in the tax system and confirmed with a fiscal receipt.

Meni supports fiscalization for:

2. How it works#

Guest pays for the order
       ↓
Meni generates a fiscal document
       ↓
The document is sent to the fiscal device / cloud cash register
       ↓
The device registers the transaction with the tax authority
       ↓
Guest receives a fiscal receipt (printed or electronic)

Two fiscalization options#

3. Connecting a fiscal printer#

Supported printers#

If the venue has no receipt printer at all, the guest bill (pre-check) is printed by the fiscal register itself — the line width is asked from the device so that the amounts column is not cut off. Daisy, ATOL and Shtrikh-M can do this; Polish Thermal registers do not print free text and refuse honestly. Only the test print and the pre-check go to a fiscal register — kitchen tickets and receipt copies do not.

Step-by-step connection#

Step 1. Connect the printer to the network#

• Ethernet: cable from the router to the printer
• Wi-Fi: configure via the printer utility
• USB: via Meni Print Agent (PC application)

The printer and the device running Meni must be on the same local network.

Step 2. Configure in Meni#

1. Settings → Fiscalization → + Add printer
2. Select connection type:
   • Network → enter the printer IP address
   • USB → install Meni Print Agent → the printer will be detected automatically
3. Select country and tax regime
4. Enter company details (Tax ID, legal entity name, address)
5. Test receipt → verify printing
6. Save

Step 3. Configure tax rates#

1. Settings → Fiscalization → Taxes
2. Set rates for your country
3. Assign the rate to categories (food, drinks, alcohol)

3. Data is transmitted to CRK by the cash register itself

The second path — fiscalizing through the API of somebody else's certified cash register — is 🛠 in development: the gateway is written, but its backend is not deployed and there is no adapter for a specific certified model yet, so no connection card is shown in the location integrations.

9. FAQ#

Is fiscalization mandatory?#

In most EU countries — yes. Penalties for operating without fiscalization range from €500 (Georgia) to €25,000 (Germany).

Can we operate without a physical printer?#

Not today: the cloud fiscalization gateways for Kazakhstan (Webkassa) and Poland (kasa online over API) are not open for connection yet, so every supported country needs your own device. In Russia a physical cash register is required by law anyway, but it can be driven from the cloud through the Cash register API section — the computer with the register stays in one place while receipts are sent to it by your website or 1C.

What to do if the printer breaks?#

1. Meni switches to fallback mode — receipts are saved
2. After replacing the printer, accumulated receipts are sent automatically
3. Some countries require notifying the tax authority about downtime

How to connect multiple printers?#

One printer for the dining area + one for the bar + one for takeaway — each is configured in Fiscalization → + Add printer with the zone specified.
