In practice: you no longer need a separate traditional register alongside the kiosk. The device registers every payment fiscally on its own, with a unique QR code on the receipt as proof for the FPS Finance. For chip shops, sandwich bars, pasta bars and other catering businesses above the €25,000 threshold for on-site meals, that is one fewer device and one fewer system to manage. **At a glance:** - The Unipage self-order kiosk is GKS 2.0-certified and may legally serve as the only register system. - Customers order and pay themselves; the device handles fiscal registration automatically via a built-in FDM 2.0. - You do not need a separate traditional register alongside the kiosk. - Orders go automatically to the kitchen or kitchen display. - Revenue is visible in real time via the cloud, with a daily report ready for your accountant. ## What does the GKS 2.0 certification of the kiosk mean? GKS 2.0 is the Belgian fiscal standard for catering businesses selling on-site meals. The Unipage kiosk meets that standard in full: it has a built-in Fiscal Data Module (FDM 2.0) that digitally signs every transaction and transmits it to the FPS Finance cloud. Every payment through the kiosk gets a unique number and a QR code on the receipt. That QR code is the legal proof that the transaction was correctly registered. You do not need to do anything: it happens automatically with every payment. ![](https://unipage.be/storage/blog/beste-bestelzuil-voor-fastfood-horeca.png) *The Unipage self-order kiosk with GKS 2.0 certification for catering businesses* ## Do you still need a separate register? No. The GKS 2.0 certification means the kiosk counts fully as a register system under the law. You can use it as the only point of sale in your business. Customers order through the screen, choose their products and pay at the device. You do not need to stand at a register for every payment. Want to keep a traditional register alongside? That is fine. The two systems work together: payments from both devices are registered under the same GKS 2.0 system and combined in your daily report. ## Which catering businesses is the certification relevant for? The GKS 2.0 certification is relevant for any catering business selling on-site meals above the €25,000 threshold per year. This includes chip shops, sandwich bars, pasta bars, pizzerias and ice cream parlours with seating. Businesses working exclusively with takeaway are generally not required to comply. ![](https://unipage.be/storage/blog/bestelzuilen-in-de-horeca-zo-verhogen-ze-de-omzet-van-jouw-zaak-1.jpeg) *Unipage self-order kiosk in a catering business: GKS 2.0-compliant without a separate register* ## What does installation look like? A Unipage self-order kiosk is operational within one day. The menu is set up via the cloud, the FDM 2.0 is pre-configured and the link with the FPS Finance is automatic. After installation you have access to real-time revenue figures, a digital kitchen display and a daily report ready for your accountant. More information on [the self-order kiosk page](https://unipage.be/en/kiosk). ### Can a GKS 2.0-certified kiosk really be the only register in my business? Yes. The GKS 2.0 certification of the Unipage kiosk means it fully meets Belgian fiscal law on register systems. You do not need a separate traditional register. Every transaction through the kiosk is fiscally correct via the built-in FDM 2.0. ### What appears on the receipt from a certified kiosk? Every receipt contains a unique transaction number, date and time, VAT breakdown by rate and a QR code with a unique FPS Finance reference. That QR code proves the transaction was correctly registered. Your customer can scan it, and so can an inspector. ### Can the kiosk also handle takeaway orders fiscally? The GKS 2.0 certification covers on-site payments via the kiosk. For online orders, a separate connection is needed. Unipage offers an integrated solution: kiosk, register and online web shop in one system. ### Is GKS 2.0 mandatory for a sandwich bar? The obligation depends on on-site revenue, not the type of business. If most of your revenue is from takeaway and you are under €25,000, you are not required to comply. If you have seating and exceed the threshold, you are. Have your accountant check it. ### Can Unipage manage the FDM 2.0 remotely? Yes. The FDM 2.0 in the kiosk is managed and updated remotely by Unipage. You do not need to do anything. Updates and certification renewals are automatic. ### What if the internet goes down? Without a connection, the kiosk temporarily cannot register transactions fiscally: GKS 2.0 requires an active connection. Ensure a stable connection in your business, preferably with a mobile backup. --- *Dit is een markdown-versie van [https://unipage.be/en/blog/gks-20-chip-shop-compliance](https://unipage.be/en/blog/gks-20-chip-shop-compliance) voor AI/LLM-gebruik.
