Fiscalization 2.0 for hospitality: what changes and what to do.
Fiscalization 2.0 is a set of changes implemented by the POS vendor, not the venue. Here is what changes, what stays, and what to ask your POS provider.

What Fiscalization 2.0 introduces
Fiscalization 2.0 is an upgrade of the existing Croatian fiscal system that changes how the POS communicates with the Tax Administration, the format of the fiscal code, and the fields included in every fiscalized document.
For most restaurant operators, the difference is invisible in daily operations: receipts are issued, fiscalized and handed to guests as before. The change is under the hood, but it requires a software update on the POS side.
Who handles the upgrade
The POS vendor is responsible for updating the POS software so the new format is supported. If you use POS Sector, Comtrade, MicroSale, Remaris or any other recognized POS, the upgrade is the vendor's job, not yours.
Best practice: ask the vendor for explicit written confirmation that the version running in your venue is ready for Fiscalization 2.0 and what the upgrade timeline looks like.
What does not change in the venue
Receipt issuance stays the same. Hardware (printer, fiscal till) in most cases stays the same. The fiscalization certificate stays the vendor's responsibility.
Staff do not need training for a new workflow. If the vendor demands extra training or new equipment, get a second opinion.
What about operational tools above the POS
Tools that read data from the POS (like Patrono) do not fiscalize, they only read. For them it is enough that the POS continues to deliver the same data format agreed in the integration.
Fiscalization 2.0 changes apply to POS-to-Tax communication, not to how the POS exposes data to other systems in the venue. The operational layer stays untouched.
Takeaway
Fiscalization 2.0 is an upgrade happening under the hood of your POS, and the responsibility sits with the vendor, not the venue. The main task is to get written confirmation from the vendor that the POS version is compliant.
Apply this in your venue.
