German fiscalization compliance is built-in. Audit-ready exports on demand.
Operating day
Kotao covers the work before, during, and after the operating day. Teams do not have to decide which disconnected tool has the truth right now.
Reservations, orders, stock, staffing, and website content are ready before the team walks into the day.
POS, bookings, payments, messages, and team workflows write live into the same workspace.
Revenue, payouts, stock movements, guest profiles, and team hours are already ready for reporting and follow-up.
BUILT FOR
One platform. The capabilities that matter for your industry — out of the box.
POINT OF SALE
One POS for counter, table, and tap. Same data as your online store. Works offline.
BOOKINGS & TABLE PLAN
One booking surface for restaurants, salons, classes, events. Confirmations, deposits, no-show protection.
CUSTOMERS & GUESTS
Live segments, loyalty, and email/SMS — built into the system. No CSV exports. No Klaviyo bill.
TEAM & PAYROLL
Shifts, time-off, payroll, and onboarding for the whole team. Connected to the till — labor cost stays honest.
PAYMENTS
Cards, wallets, bank payments, vouchers, and local methods in one flow. Kotao keeps the payment, order, customer, payout, and accounting context attached to the same operating record.
WEBSITE & STOREFRONT
Build the public site without a separate Shopify or Webflow bill. Products, content, and bookings share one data model.

Connect payments, website, messages, and reporting.
Turn on more locations, apps, and automations in the rhythm of the business.
