TSE Gastronomie stock control in Germany is no longer a back-office formality. Since the German Federal Ministry of Finance confirmed the current enforcement posture in April 2026, restaurant operators across Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, and beyond are facing a compliance environment that treats stock records and EPOS data as a connected audit trail, not separate concerns.
