Berlin · SumUp® setup · Branding · Consulting
SumUp® setup, integration, and brand for restaurants.
The technical side: QR ordering, kitchen display, pickup screen, Bewirtungsbeleg pipeline, receipt printing. The brand side: identity, photography, menu design, and consulting. One person, both sides of the problem.
Why SumUp®?
For most Berlin restaurants and fast-casual venues, SumUp® is the right platform. Here is why — and where it stops.
Hardware starts at €299 for the terminal. No expensive proprietary POS system, no long-term vendor lock-in.
Table and counter QR ordering is included in the platform. Guests order from their phone, orders go straight to the kitchen display.
The web-based KDS is part of SumUp® at no extra hardware cost. A second screen is all you need.
Designed for counter service, takeaway, and fast-casual venues. Not over-engineered for what a Berlin restaurant actually needs.
TSE-compliant, GoBD-ready, Kassensicherungsverordnung covered. The regulatory side is handled by the platform.
No native pickup screen. QR order detection is unreliable. No automated Bewirtungsbeleg pipeline. No split-print routing. These are the gaps OKDS closes.
Two routes
Both end at the same place. Where you start depends on where you are now.
You already run SumUp®. Something is missing, broken, or your system could do more. You want specific additions — not a rebuild.
- —Customer pickup screen added to existing setup
- —Automated Bewirtungsbeleg pipeline
- —QR order detection fix (OCR-based workaround)
- —Kitchen display (KDS) reconfiguration
- —Printer re-routing or split-print setup
- —Troubleshooting SumUp® issues that support could not fix
Most route 1 clients get the system right, then ask the next question: does the brand match the operation? Branding, photography, and consulting are available once the technical layer is in place — or alongside it.
You have a venue concept or are opening a new location. You need the whole thing: branding, hardware, SumUp® configuration, and a working system on day one.

How the system works
SumUp® does not expose a native API for the kitchen display, and its QR ordering does not reliably trigger external systems. OKDS bridges these gaps with a validated OCR-based workaround stack, built and tested in live Berlin hospitality operations. The Bewirtungsbeleg pipeline reads order data directly from the KDS and generates correctly formatted business meal receipts automatically.
Capabilities
