The state wants the total. Not what was on the plate.

- Who sells (your company)
- Where (venue and till)
- When (date and time)
- The receipt number
- The total amount
Not reported
- What was sold
- VAT rates
- Who paid
- Invoices paid by transfer and online-shop payments
And you don’t have to print a receipt for EET.
All of EET in four steps.
Get a till
An app on your phone is enough. No state-approved box required.
Register your venue
On the MOJE daně portal you tell the state where you sell. You get a number for it.
- The key step

One file from the state, free of charge. Your till signs every payment with it; without it the state won’t accept the payment.

What people worry about. And why they needn’t.
“Me and computers? No way.”
Yes way. You download one file and upload it. If you can send a photo, you can do this.
“I don’t have time for this.”
A few clicks with the state, a few with us. Hugo then does the sending and watches the certificate’s expiry too.
“What if I press the wrong thing?”
Hugo tells you in plain words which step is still missing. No cryptic error codes.
“What if the state’s system is down?”
Hugo holds the payment and sends it again on its own. You keep ringing up.
So it isn’t all chores: two things get better.

Down from 21%. For drinks your guests have on the premises.
