Das Kassenhaus

What Das Kassenhaus does

Das Kassenhaus is a German sole proprietorship (Einzelunternehmen) headquartered in Erkelenz, founded in 2004 by Ulrich Wessel, who has worked in the POS industry since 1993. The firm sells and services point-of-sale cash register systems, industry-specific branchensoftware, cashless payment terminals, and cloud services to small and medium-sized businesses across gastronomy, hospitality, retail, bakeries, and entertainment venues in Germany. Its flagship product, the Vectron Smart Komplettpaket, bundles Vectron POS hardware, cloud connectivity, EC payment terminals (two included free), and personal on-site service into a multi-year contract, while modular add-ons cover PC back-office systems, Sonderlösungen (custom delivery and phone-order apps), and consumables such as thermal paper rolls. Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative: a 6-person team (owner, sales consultant, technical support, secretariat/customer service, and two additional staff) handles direct sales, showroom demonstrations, on-site installation, and ongoing service, supplemented by trade show presence, the company website, and referral business from existing customers. Revenue mechanics mix one-time hardware and software license sales with recurring service, support, and consumables reorders. Partnerships with Vectron (core technology partner) and multiple EC cashless payment providers (transaction infrastructure) are the foundation of the offering.

Core offering

Das Kassenhaus sells, installs, and services point-of-sale (POS) and cash register systems for SMB customers in the gastronomy, hospitality, retail, and entertainment sectors. Its flagship offering is the Vectron Smart Komplettpaket, which bundles cash register hardware, industry-specific Branchensoftware, cashless EC payment terminals (two included free), cloud services, and personal on-site service. The company also sells standalone cash registers, PC systems, custom Sonderlösungen, and consumables such as thermal paper rolls.

Product overview

Das Kassenhaus offers a unified portfolio of POS (point-of-sale) systems and related services for the German-speaking retail and hospitality market. The core offering is the Vectron Smart complete package, which bundles Kassensysteme (stationary and mobile cash register systems), Branchensoftware (industry-specific software), Bargeldlose Bezahlsysteme (cashless payment solutions via EC terminals), and cloud services, along with personal on-site service — all from a single provider. Beyond this flagship package, the company sells Registrier- und Computerkassen as standalone hardware, PC-Systeme for back-office use, and Sonderlösungen (custom special solutions including delivery apps and automated phone order systems). Accessories such as Kassenrollen (thermal paper rolls) are also available for ordering. The product architecture is modular: customers can purchase the bundled Vectron Smart package or select individual components (hardware, software, payments, cloud) according to their needs.

Broad incumbents

• SumUp: European POS and payment terminal provider targeting micro and small merchants with low-cost hardware and integrated payments. Comparable as a competing POS/payments offering for the same SMB customer base in Germany.
• Vectron Systems AG: Manufacturer of the POS hardware and cloud platform that Das Kassenhaus resells. Vectron is comparable as the underlying technology and brand the subject company depends on, and competes at the broader German POS market level.
• Lightspeed Commerce: Global POS and commerce platform with strong presence in hospitality and retail SMBs. Comparable as a cloud-native POS competitor addressing the same end-customer profile across multiple verticals.
• Casio Europe (POS): Sells cash register and POS hardware (e.g., Casio SE-S series) widely used in German SMB retail and hospitality. Comparable as an alternative hardware provider competing for the same SMB POS installations.
• Sharp Electronics (POS Division): Manufacturer and seller of cash register systems and POS hardware with presence in the German SMB market. Comparable as an alternative hardware brand competing with Vectron-based offerings like Das Kassenhaus's.

Direct peers

• Gastronovi: German cloud-based POS and restaurant management software vendor for the gastronomy sector. Directly comparable to Das Kassenhaus's gastronomy vertical, offering an alternative to Vectron-based stacks.
• Orderbird GmbH: Germany-based POS provider focused on hospitality and gastronomy SMBs — the same target market and use cases (restaurants, cafes, bars) as Das Kassenhaus, but competing via direct software-led subscription rather than Vectron hardware resale.
• ready2order GmbH: Austrian/DACH-headquartered POS and cash register solution for SMB retail and hospitality. Comparable as a DACH-region POS competitor targeting the same small-business customer segment with cloud-based software offerings.
