For Italian Restaurants

Pasta, pizza, vino — your ristorante, your system

Italian restaurants have a multi-course menu logic that standard systems handle poorly: antipasti, primi, secondi, pizza, dolci — with pasta variants, gluten-free options and a wine list. GastroSystem maps this cleanly, separates the pizza oven from the kitchen and gives you 0% commission.

Typical challenges for Italian restaurants

  • Multi-course menu structure (antipasti, primi, secondi, dolci, caffè) is hard to represent cleanly in flat menu systems
  • Pasta in multiple variants: standard, gluten-free, wholegrain, vegan — each with its own price and allergen labelling
  • Pizza and kitchen run separately: pasta orders must go to the kitchen, pizza to the wood-fired oven — without two printers it becomes chaotic
  • Lieferando commissions hit low-margin pasta dishes especially hard: €12 carbonara × 30% = €3.60 commission per order
  • Regulars are the foundation of a ristorante — on Lieferando the platform owns the customer relationship
  • Table reservations and order management in separate systems lead to double work and coordination errors

How GastroSystem helps your ristorante

Multi-course menu structure mapped cleanly

Categories for antipasti, primi piatti, secondi, contorni, pizza, dolci and caffè — with arbitrarily deep subcategories. Under 'pasta' you create spaghetti, rigatoni, pappardelle as sub-variants — each with its own price. 'Penne alla vodka' appears in the right category, with the right order and the right price for standard vs. gluten-free.

Pasta variants and allergen management

Per pasta dish you configure variants: standard (wheat, egg), gluten-free (+€1.50), vegan (no parmesan, no egg). Each variant carries its own allergens. Guests filter the menu by 'gluten-free' or 'vegan' — the system shows only matching dishes. No more phone calls about 'Do you have this without gluten?'

Pizza oven and kitchen served separately via receipt printers

Assign pizza categories to the pizza printer and pasta categories to the kitchen printer. When an order contains 2 pizzas and a pasta, the pizza printer and kitchen printer both print simultaneously — automatically. No walking back and forth, no manual ticking off, no double reading. This reduces errors and speeds up service especially during rush hours.

Table reservation and QR ordering in one system

Regulars reserve via your app, arrive at the table and then order via QR code — all in the same system. No switching between reservation tool and POS, no double data entry. The table is tracked from reservation to billing in one continuous system logic.

Win back regulars with your own marketing

The GastroSystem loyalty programme works per order: every 10th visit earns a free drink or dessert discount — visible in your app. Send push notifications directly: 'Tonight: fresh truffle pasta for 2 days only' — no Mailchimp, no Facebook ads.

0% commission — your margin stays with you

With 400 orders at €32 and 30% Lieferando commission: €3,840/month in fees. GastroSystem Growth costs €179/month — difference: €3,661. That equals the net revenue from nearly 115 pasta dishes at a €32 average order value.

What you save as an Italian restaurant

A ristorante with 400 orders/month and an average order value of €32 pays up to €3,840/month in commissions to Lieferando (30%). With GastroSystem Growth plan you pay €179/month — saving over €3,660 every month. Add: fewer mis-orders from clear pasta variant configuration (approx. 2–3 fewer cancellations/month at €12 = €36 saved), and a working loyalty programme that retains regulars who would otherwise switch to Lieferando.

Frequently asked questions for Italian restaurants

Can I offer pasta in multiple variants (e.g. gluten-free)?

Yes. You create variants per dish — standard, gluten-free, vegan — each with its own price and allergen labelling. Guests filter the menu directly by dietary preference.

Can I print separately for the kitchen and pizza oven?

Yes. You assign each category a target printer — pasta and secondi go to the kitchen, pizza to the pizza section. With a mixed order both printers print simultaneously.

Can I combine table reservations with the ordering system?

Yes. Reservation and QR ordering at the table run in the same system — no double data entry, no switching between two tools.

How does the system handle a multi-course menu logic?

You structure categories as deeply as needed: antipasti > calamari, bruschetta; primi > pasta > carbonara (standard / gluten-free), risotto. Guests see a clear, hierarchical menu.

Can I maintain a wine list and desserts separately?

Yes. Create separate categories for drinks, wines and dolci. You can even print a dedicated QR code menu for drinks — without the food menu.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. The free plan allows up to 30 orders per day — no credit card, no contract. You can test the full menu configuration and receipt printer in advance.
