Invoices that file themselves

ePoslovanjeePoslovanje

The Croatian service for sending and receiving e-invoices. Patrono connects to it through the official interface.

Patrono pulls in your suppliers' e-invoices as soon as they arrive. Supplier, amount, due date and line items land in Finance without photographing and without retyping. Payment status is read from the portal too, so the open liabilities figure shows what is actually outstanding rather than everything that ever came in.

Every invoice comes with a payment slip barcode your mobile banking app reads, with the IBAN, amount and reference already filled in.

Receiving e-invoices costs you nothing extra. Patrono does not create or send invoices. Issuing stays with your point-of-sale and your bookkeeper.

Export for your bookkeeper

Monthly export of revenue, invoices and VAT data in a format your bookkeeper accepts without retyping. Standard Excel and CSV outputs.

Scheduling

Scheduling on mobile.

Staff open Patrono on mobile and see their shift. The manager builds the week once, changes appear immediately to everyone. Hours worked add up on their own.

Everyone sees the schedule on mobile, without chasing through messages

Why Patrono.

POS integration

No changes to how your venue runs today.

Patrono works alongside your existing point-of-sale. You do not change the POS, you do not change how receipts are issued, you do not change the shift routine. Once Patrono connects to the POS, revenue and commissions join the overview.

All modules in one tool

Finance, scheduling, food cost and HACCP.

No jumping between five separate apps for revenue, schedules, invoices and checklists. One login per role, with data flowing between modules so nothing has to be entered twice.

No hardware

Runs in the browser on any device.

The phone, tablet or laptop you already have in the venue. No 400 EUR dedicated terminal, no local setup. Open the browser, sign in, work.

24/7 support

We reply whenever your venue is open.

When you write to support or call, you reach a team that understands Patrono and Croatian regulation. No ticket system bouncing you through two support tiers before a real answer. Weekend, holiday, night shift, we are there.

Partner story

What changed at Papoy with Patrono.

Papoy Munch & Brunch, Zagreb

Daily revenue overview

The owner opens the phone in the morning and knows how the day went. Sunday Excel sessions are no longer needed.

Food cost from 34% to 26%

Two months, three dishes off the menu, two margins corrected. A number from Patrono, not from a guess.

Schedules on mobile

Staff check shifts without a group chat, swaps confirm in two clicks with full history.

HACCP without paper

Temperatures, cleaning and opening/closing routines digital. When the inspection arrived, the review took ten minutes.

POS integration

Works with your existing fiscal system.

Patrono does not issue receipts. We connect to your POS, which already fiscalizes under Croatian law. No migration, no hardware swap, no extra modules. Your POS keeps doing what it does, and revenue and commissions by channel join the overview once Patrono connects to it.

FAQ

Most-asked questions from venue owners.

Can we use our existing hardware?

Yes. Patrono runs in the browser on any device you already have, Android or iOS, laptop or tablet. No new terminal required. For receipt printing we support every standard ESC/POS model you most likely already have behind the bar.

What if we already use POS Sector or another system?

We import your menu and item list from a CSV or export from your current system, and our team walks you through onboarding so you do not lose time. Direct integration with POS Sector is in progress.

How long does setup take?

Papoy Munch & Brunch was fully functional in one working day. From menu import to the first fiscalized order took less than 6 hours. A larger restaurant with a complex menu can take a day or two longer, but that is the exception, not the rule.

What happens if the internet goes down?

Fiscalization stays the responsibility of your POS, which handles it through its own mechanism. Patrono syncs once the connection returns, with no loss of data entered in between.

How does Fiscalization 2.0 work with Patrono?

Patrono does not fiscalize receipts itself. It connects to your existing POS, which already does that under Croatian law. Your fiscal system stays the same, Patrono reads revenue data from it and pushes it into the overview for owner and shift manager. Fiscalization 2.0 changes are applied by your POS vendor, not Patrono.

Who do we contact when we need help?

Email podrska@getpatrono.com. We respond within 24 hours, every day of the week. Mail goes straight to the team, not to a ticket system that bounces you through two support tiers before a real answer.

What languages does the app work in?

Patrono runs in Croatian and English, and each staff member picks their own language independently of the others. Seasonal staff who do not speak Croatian work in English while the owner and shift manager stay in Croatian. German and Danish are in preparation.

How does Patrono calculate food cost?

Food cost is calculated from real ingredient consumption defined in the recipe, not from estimates. For each portion sold, the exact quantity of each ingredient is deducted from stock. Supplier prices flow in through invoices, so the margin on every dish stays accurate even when the price of flour jumps on Saturday and you only learn about it on Monday.

Does Patrono support the HACCP records inspectors require?

Yes. Daily temperature logs for refrigerators and freezers, goods receiving, thermal processing and cleaning are set up using the official templates inspectors look for during a visit. Records are signed in the app and archived in the system, with no folders of paper.

What about delivery platforms, how does it all fit together?

Revenue and commissions from delivery platforms arrive in the same overview as in-venue sales, separated by channel. You see how much you actually earn per platform after commissions, and when the same item on three platforms ends up with three different margins.

How much does Patrono cost?

Setup and onboarding are free, you pay a flat 49 EUR per month per location for a fully configured Patrono with all modules, excluding VAT. The annual option is 490 EUR per location, two months free. Chains with 4 or more locations, get in touch for a tailored quote.

Do I have to sign a yearly contract?

No. The monthly option has no commitment. You cancel any time with full data export in machine-readable format. The annual option is a choice if you want a fixed cost, two months free versus paying monthly, not a forced condition.

Who has access to our data?

Only users you add to the organization, with the role you assign. A waiter does not see food cost, the shift manager does not see contracts, the bookkeeper does not see schedules. Our support team accesses your data only with your explicit permission, for a specific case.

Where is the data stored?

All infrastructure is inside the European Union, databases in EU regions, encrypted at rest and in transit. Daily backups with 30-day retention, weekly snapshots with 12-month retention. Details and the subprocessor list are on the Security and GDPR page.

Can I export all my data if we leave?

Yes, at any time. Patrono offers full export of menus, schedules, revenue, HACCP records and invoices in machine-readable formats (CSV and JSON). No data retention clauses, no buyback fees, no hidden costs on termination.

Does Patrono work for multiple locations or franchises?

Yes, from day one. Multiple venues sit under the same organization, recipes and procedures stay unified across locations, and a central overview shows where one location is drifting. Networks of 4 or more venues get a dedicated quote.

Who is behind Patrono?

Patrono is a product of CAUTUS SISTEMI d.o.o. from Zagreb. The team behind Patrono has 15+ years of experience in hospitality, delivery platforms and restaurant franchise management. Patrono grew out of our own needs in the venue we run, and we use it every day in real operations.
