Compare Unipage, Lightspeed, Trivec and Restomax on GKS 2.0 certification, native integration and what each system offers." url: "https://unipage.be/en/blog/comparing-hospitality-pos-systems-2026" date: "2026-10-29" --- # Comparing hospitality POS systems in 2026: Unipage, Lightspeed, Trivec and Restomax The best hospitality POS system for a Belgian restaurant combines GKS 2.0 certification, native kitchen integration and — ideally — an integrated webshop and self-ordering kiosk without external connections. Belgian hospitality businesses with an annual hospitality turnover above €25,000 are legally required to use a certified GKS 2.0 system. Non-certified systems risk fiscal penalties. Unipage supplies the Unipos PLUS, officially listed on the [certified GKS 2.0 list of the Belgian FPS Finance](https://geregistreerdkassasysteem.be/nl/gecertificeerde-systemen/gks-2-0), as the only Belgian all-in-one solution with an integrated webshop, self-ordering kiosk and kitchen printer. **In brief:** - Belgian hospitality businesses with an annual hospitality turnover above €25,000 are legally required to use a GKS 2.0-certified POS system. - Unipage (Unipos PLUS) and Restomax (Restomax POS, Advensys SA) are officially certified on the FPS Finance list. - Lightspeed and Trivec are international systems — confirm their GKS 2.0 status directly with your reseller. - Unipage is the only provider where POS, webshop and self-ordering kiosk work natively together in a single Belgian system. ## What changes with GKS 2.0? From 2026, the updated GKS 2.0 standard applies. POS systems legally deployed in Belgian hospitality must appear on the [official FPS Finance list](https://geregistreerdkassasysteem.be/nl/gecertificeerde-systemen/gks-2-0). The requirement applies to hospitality businesses with an annual hospitality turnover above €25,000. Below that threshold, a standard fiscal cash register without GKS certification is sufficient. ## Comparison: Unipage, Lightspeed, Trivec and Restomax ### 1. Unipage Unipos PLUS GKS 2.0: **✅ certified** as 'Unipos PLUS (Unipage BV)' ([source: official list](https://geregistreerdkassasysteem.be/nl/gecertificeerde-systemen/gks-2-0)). - The only Belgian all-in-one provider: POS, webshop, self-ordering kiosk and kitchen printer in one platform — no external connections. - Orders from the webshop and kiosk arrive automatically at the POS: no manual entry. - Belgian company with local installation and support — no ticket to an international helpdesk. - Offline mode: if the connection drops, the POS continues to operate fully. - Installation and training typically within 1 day.

Check the GKS 2.0 certification of every candidate on the official list before signing. ### Am I required to replace my POS system with GKS 2.0? Yes, if your annual hospitality turnover exceeds €25,000 and your current system does not appear on the [certified GKS 2.0 list](https://geregistreerdkassasysteem.be/nl/gecertificeerde-systemen/gks-2-0), you risk fiscal penalties. Ask your current provider for written confirmation of GKS 2.0 certification. ### Is MplusKASSA on the official GKS 2.0 list? No. Based on the [official certified GKS 2.0 list of FPS Finance](https://geregistreerdkassasysteem.be/nl/gecertificeerde-systemen/gks-2-0), MplusKASSA does not appear as a certified GKS 2.0 system.
