For Indian Restaurants

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

Indian restaurants in Germany face a particular challenge. Up to 80 % of guests are vegetarian or vegan. The tandoor oven and the curry kitchen run in parallel, and spice levels need to be set as a required choice. GastroSystem is built exactly for that.

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. A GastroSystem bundle costs €269/month. Difference: €3,241/month. That equals the net revenue from 125 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 a GastroSystem bundle you pay €269/month — saving over €3,240 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.

Common questions for Indian restaurants

Can I set spice level as a required choice per dish?

Yes. You define a required choice group per dish with your own levels. The order can't be completed until the choice is made. It shows clearly on the kitchen ticket.

How do I separate orders for the tandoor oven and the 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. Both at once, automatically.

Can guests filter by vegetarian/vegan?

Yes. You tag every dish with the right labels. Guests turn on the filter when ordering. The menu shows only matching dishes. For restaurants with a high share of vegetarian guests, that's a big help with navigation.

How do I offer naan, rice and other sides?

Through choice groups right on the main dish: naan, rice or paratha, each with its own price and marked required or optional. The guest picks the side when ordering. There are no automatic suggestions at checkout.

Can I set up family packages (meal for 4)?

Yes. Create bundle products with a fixed composition and their own price. Meal-for-4 packages appear as their own product category and work especially well for Friday nights and catering.

Does the system support delivery and pickup?

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

Can I start for free?

Yes. The digital menu with QR code is free forever, no credit card, no contract.
