Information for SRS Developers – Restaurant Sector
For healthy competition and tax fairness in the restaurant sector, we implemented measures making it mandatory to produce a bill using an IT solution.
All restaurant establishment operators subject to mandatory billing measures must send us their transaction data using the required equipment and give every customer a bill produced using the equipment.
IT solution
The IT solution used in the restaurant sector comprises:
- a certified sales recording system (SRS) that collects transaction data and securely sends it to a cloud environment;
- a cloud environment, called the WEB-SRM, that validates and stores the data before securely sending it to us;
- a computer system that integrates WEB-SRM data into our informational environment.
Most restaurant establishment operators also have a receipt printer, which must be compatible with their SRS.
Certified SRS
To use the cloud solution, you must adapt your SRS to work with the WEB-SRM and have it certified by us.
To help you estimate the work required to make your product compatible with the WEB-SRM, see document SW-76-V, General Information for Adapting an SRS.
For the certification process, see Certification of Sales Recording Systems That Communicate With the WEB-SRM.
Server administrator
Under the mandatory billing measures in the restaurant sector, each administrator of a remote server (a centralized computer system) that communicates directly with the WEB-SRM must request an authorization code from us.
The code authorizes the remote server to communicate with the WEB-SRM and receive a digital certificate used to identify the owner of the private key or public key.
To obtain an authorization code:
- use the online service that allows server administrators to manage a server authorization code in My Account for businesses; or
- complete form FO-350.SD-V, Application to Obtain or Deactivate a Server Authorization Code.
