For Italian Restaurants

Pasta, pizza, vino — your ristorante, your system

Italian restaurants have a multi-course menu that ordinary systems handle poorly: antipasti, primi, secondi, pizza, dolci, plus pasta variants, gluten-free options and a wine list. GastroSystem maps that 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. A GastroSystem bundle costs €269/month — difference: €3,571. That equals the net revenue from nearly 112 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 a GastroSystem bundle you pay €269/month — saving over €3,570 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.

Common questions for Italian restaurants

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

Yes. You set up variants per dish, standard, gluten-free, vegan, each with its own price and its own allergen labeling. Guests filter the menu directly by diet.

Can I print separately for the kitchen and the pizza oven?

Yes. You assign each category a printer: pasta and secondi go to the kitchen, pizza to the pizza station. On a mixed order, both printers print at the same time.

Can I combine table reservations with the order system?

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

How does the system map a multi-course menu structure?

You structure categories as deep as you like: Antipasti > Calamari, Bruschetta; Primi > Pasta > Carbonara (Standard / Gluten-free), Risotto. Guests see a clear, hierarchical menu.

Can I keep wine lists and desserts separate?

Yes. Create separate categories for drinks, wines and dolci. You can even print a separate QR menu just for drinks, with no food menu at all.

Can I start for free?

Yes. The digital menu with QR code is free forever, no credit card, no contract. You can test the whole menu setup and the receipt printer first.
