The ordering system for Arabic restaurants
Arabic cuisine lives on hospitality, sharing menus and cultural particulars: Ramadan hours, halal labeling, and a guest base that often orders in several languages. GastroSystem covers that: mezze put together for several people, automatic Ramadan operating mode, halal certificate visible right in the menu.
Special requirements of Arabic restaurants
- Mezze orders are complex
Hummus, mutabal, fattoush, kibbeh — mezze are ordered in combinations for 2, 4 or 6 people. Single-item pricing logic doesn't fit. Sharing plates need their own bundle configuration.
- Ramadan changes the entire operation
During Ramadan many Arabic restaurants open only in the evening or shift opening hours to after iftar. If you can't precisely control ordering times, you accept orders too early that cannot be delivered on time.
- Halal certification is the foundation of trust
Guests expect to find the halal certificate visible and verifiable — not just as a wall display, but in the digital menu. If the indication is missing, many guests will order elsewhere.
- Multilingual guests
In German cities, Arabic restaurant guests frequently come from Arabic-speaking, Turkish or international communities. A menu available only in German excludes potential orders.
How GastroSystem helps Arabic restaurants
Mezze sharing configuration
Create sharing sets with configurable guest counts: mezze for 2 (6 choices from 20 dishes), mezze for 4 (12 choices). Price per person or as a total. The system calculates quantities automatically and prints kitchen receipts with quantity information. No back-and-forth, no errors.
Ramadan operating mode
Set up your own opening hours for the Ramadan period that activate automatically. Order acceptance only from 17:00, delivery only between iftar and 01:00 — all pre-configurable. Special menus (iftar packages, suhoor menu) can be set up as time-limited categories that are automatically hidden outside Ramadan.
Halal certificate in the menu
Upload your halal certificate to the system — it then appears as a seal on every product image and on the restaurant page. Guests can open the certificate directly in the app. For customers who only order from certified businesses, this is a decisive trust factor.
Multilingual menu
Maintain product names and descriptions in German, Arabic, English and Turkish. The ordering app automatically shows the guest the language set on their device. Regular Arabic-speaking guests can order in their language without you needing to print separate menus.
Double revenue during Ramadan
Many Arabic restaurants report that Ramadan is their strongest month — iftar packages for families and groups can drive daily orders to 2–3 times normal. With GastroSystem you plan for this peak: capacity limits per slot, pre-ordering from 3 days before iftar and special menus with package prices — all without paying commission to third-party platforms.

Common questions for Arabic restaurants
Can I pre-schedule Ramadan hours?
Yes. You set the date and hours for Ramadan mode. From the first day, the limited schedule activates automatically, you don't have to switch anything manually.
How do I show the halal certificate in the app?
Upload the certificate as a PDF or image. It appears as a seal on the menu page and guests can open it with a click. You can also assign halal tags to individual products.
Does the menu support Arabic script?
Not yet. Your menu currently speaks German, English, Turkish, Croatian, Polish and Persian, Arabic isn't part of it yet.
