For Indian Restaurants

Curry, tandoori, spice levels — all in your own system

Indian restaurants in Germany face an unusual challenge: up to 80% of guests are vegetarian or vegan, the tandoor oven and curry kitchen run in parallel, and spice levels must be configured as a binding mandatory choice — GastroSystem is designed exactly for this.

Typical challenges for Indian restaurants

  • Spice levels (mild, medium, hot, extra hot) must be selectable per dish — without the configuration, complaints follow
  • High vegetarian and vegan share: guests want to filter without scrolling through the whole menu
  • Tandoor oven and curry kitchen are physically separate stations — without separate receipts mix-ups occur
  • Rice dishes, dal and bread sides (naan, paratha, chapati) must be offered as selection groups per main dish
  • Commissions hit low-margin rice dishes and dals especially hard: €11 dal makhani × 30% = €3.30 commission
  • Catering enquiries and family packs (meal for 4) are hard to configure in standard systems

How GastroSystem helps your restaurant

Mandatory spice levels: curry orders cannot be placed without a spice selection

Per curry dish you configure a mandatory selection group: mild / medium / hot / extra hot. The system will not process the order until the choice is made. This appears unambiguously on the kitchen receipt — no callback, no cancellation due to wrong spice level.

Vegetarian and vegan filter — 80% of Indian restaurant guests use it

Tag every dish with 'vegan', 'vegetarian', 'gluten-free'. Guests activate the filter in the app and immediately see only matching dishes. For an Indian restaurant with 50–80% vegetarian dishes on the menu, this is not a nice-to-have — it is the primary navigation aid.

Tandoor and curry kitchen printed separately

Assign tandoor dishes (chicken tikka, seekh kebab, tandoori naan) to the tandoor printer and curry dishes to the kitchen printer. With an order containing chicken tikka masala and a side naan, both stations print simultaneously — each chef receives only their part, without manually splitting the order.

Side dish selection groups: naan, rice, paratha offered automatically

Per main dish you configure a side selection group: basmati rice / naan (plain / butter / garlic) / paratha / chapati — each with a price. The system suggests the side at checkout. Customers don't forget a side; you don't forget to offer one. The average order value rises by approximately €1.50–2.50 through the automatic side suggestion.

Configure family packs and catering

Create 'Meal for 4' or 'Family Pack' bundles as individual products: starters + 2 curries + rice + naan for €49. This appears in its own category, ideal for Friday evening orders and catering. Catering enquiries with their own minimum order value and lead time are configurable.

0% commission — your margin stays with you

With 450 orders at €26 and 30% Lieferando commission: €3,510/month in fees. GastroSystem Growth costs €179/month. Difference: €3,331/month. That equals the net revenue from 128 dal dishes at €26 — or the equivalent of one part-time service position.

What you save as an Indian restaurant

An Indian restaurant with 450 orders/month and an average order value of €26 pays up to €3,510/month in commissions to Lieferando (30%). With GastroSystem Growth plan you pay €179/month — saving over €3,330 every month. Add: average order value rises by €1.50–2.50 through automatic side selection groups — at 450 orders that is an additional €675–1,125 in monthly revenue.

Frequently asked questions for Indian restaurants

Can I set mandatory spice levels per dish?

Yes. You define a mandatory selection group per dish with your levels. The order cannot be completed until the choice is made. The selection appears clearly on the kitchen receipt.

How do I separate orders for the tandoor oven and curry kitchen?

In the menu editor you assign each category a target printer. Tandoor dishes print at the tandoor printer, curry dishes in the kitchen — simultaneously, automatically.

Can guests filter for vegetarian/vegan?

Yes. You tag each dish with the appropriate labels. Guests activate the filter when ordering — the menu shows only matching dishes. For restaurants with a high vegetarian share this is a significant navigation aid.

Can I automatically suggest naan, rice and other sides at checkout?

Yes. Selection groups suggest sides matching the main dish — with surcharge logic and quantity selection. The average order value measurably increases through the targeted side suggestion.

Can I configure family packs (meal for 4)?

Yes. Create bundle products with a fixed composition and their own price. Meal-for-4 packs appear as their own product category and are especially suitable for Friday evenings and catering.

Does the system support delivery and collection?

Yes. Delivery zones, minimum order values, collection times and lead times for catering are all separately configurable.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Up to 30 orders per day on the free plan — no credit card, no contract.
