Information for SRS Developers – Restaurant Sector (Cloud Solution)
In 2023, a new technological solution under the mandatory billing measures was phased in for the restaurant sector (bars, restaurants and catering businesses).
The solution 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.
The WEB-SRM replaces the SRM. It is a cloud environment that receives SRS transaction data. It then validates and stores the data before securely sending it to us.
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 (Cloud Solution).
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.
