Check restaurant billing requirements with Revenu Québec

For restaurant operators subject to the mandatory billing measures, Revenu Québec describes requirements for transaction data and bills produced through a certified sales recording system designed to communicate with the WEB-SRM. Use its official guidance to review your situation and the system being proposed.

Verify the specific sales recording system

Check the product and version information against Revenu Québec’s published resources. Ask the provider which configuration is being supplied and how the required functions will be implemented. A device brand alone is not enough information to complete that check.
