Opening

Before you open, till, team and routines belong at one table.

Anyone who starts sorting systems after the first day of trade sorts them while trading. This page describes what can be set up beforehand — with what Veydex has today, and without inventing an opening package.

Plan the opening Create account

At an opening, the order decides.

The till is usually settled first because it takes longest. Everything else then lands in whichever system is at hand.

The till is the long roadSelection, fiscalisation, hardware, training — what hangs off it should run alongside, not after.
The team arrives before the first guestOnboarding, shifts, records and briefings start weeks before opening.
Reservations start before you openThe first enquiries come as soon as anyone knows about the opening, and they need somewhere to land.
Documents get collected onceLicence, contracts, records, deadlines — after that nobody gathers them again.

The sequence

A build in the order that holds

Every step hangs off a module that exists today. Where something happens outside Veydex, it says so.

01
Create the business
One workspace per business: time zone, trade, terminology. The Hub knows seven trades, and yours changes the wording and the order of suggestions.
02
Set the opening date
From here everything counts backwards. Deadlines and dates live in the documents.
Documents
03
Settle the till system
The Veydex till is in development and cannot be ordered: choose an existing system and check right away how it can be linked.
04
Prepare Connect
Settle the connection route before opening — then the numbers run in the Hub from day one.
Veydex Connect
05
Set up the team
Invite staff, assign roles, build the first weekly plan; the role takes effect immediately.
Rota

Rota for week 45: seven people with their shifts from Monday to Sunday, on the right an open shift and a suggestion from the helper Mira, at the bottom the bar with labour cost and “Publish”. — Rota: the week per person, an open shift and a suggestion from the helper Mira. Demo data from the Hub.

06
Open reservations
Opening hours, capacity, table plan and a public booking page — before the first enquiry arrives.
Reservations
07
Build the menu
Articles, prices, taxes, allergens and additives in one place; printed as an A4 view, online through Veydex Link.
Menu
08
File the documents
Licence, contracts, records and their deadlines. Veydex checks the dates automatically.
Documents
09
Set up HACCP
Control points, target ranges and the today view. Documented from the first day of trade, not filled in later.
Hygiene & HACCP
10
Open
From the first sale Analytics computes along — the comparison of the first weeks is there from day one.
Analytics

Floor plan during service: layout with bar counter, dining room and group room, occupied and free tables with times, next arrivals on the right and a “Seat walk-in” button. — Reservations during service: floor plan, next arrivals and walk-ins. Demo data from the Hub.

What a new business needs first

Not all nineteen at once. These six most often stand at the beginning of an opening — the rest can follow.

The previews are Hub screens with demo data.

What Veydex does not do at an opening

We do not supply a till.The Veydex till runs in test operation with selected businesses and there is no date for general sale — for your opening you choose an existing system.
We do not take on fiscalisation.TSE, GoBD and Kassensicherung sit with the till system you decide on.
There is no opening package to book.This page shows existing modules in a sensible order — and a conversation that lines them up with your dates.
Before the first sale there is no till data.The rota's first draft then works from your reservations and the minimum staffing in your opening hours.

Most asked about this

What hardware do I need?

Ordinary iPads. The till sits in the venue as a device and computes there; you operate it from iPads — no special hardware sold by one supplier only, which you write off when you move. What peripherals you add depends on the venue: receipt printer, card terminal, cash drawer.

Does the till work without internet?

That is decided by the security module, not by the till. A local TSE sits in the device or on the network and signs without any connection. A cloud TSE signs on the provider's server — no line, no signature. So do not ask whether you can take payment, but whether it gets signed.

What is a TSE?

The technical security module is a certified component that signs every recordable till transaction — at the start and at the close of the transaction, not later. Its signatures must be retained and be machine-readable in a tax audit, regardless of whether the till that produced them still exists.

Can I carry over the data from my old till?

Usually yes, but it needs lead time. Till data, the article master, customer records and outstanding vouchers should be requested from your old provider about four weeks before the switch, in writing and with a deadline. Then spot-check the export: one nobody has opened is not a backup.
