The ordering system for Mexican cuisine
Mexican restaurants build on customization: the guest picks protein, base, topping and salsa. On top come family-size orders that multiply the margin, and weekly promos like Taco Tuesday that double order volume. GastroSystem builds the configurator that maps all of it.
What Mexican restaurants know well
- Every order is a configuration
Burrito with chicken, no sour cream, extra guac, black beans instead of pinto — Mexican orders are naturally multi-step. Phone orders generate misunderstandings; standard systems can't map this flexibility.
- Time-limited promotions are hard to manage
Taco Tuesday, Happy Hour margaritas, lunch specials until 14:00 — without a system that activates these automatically by time, staff switch manually and prices get applied inconsistently.
- Vegan and gluten-free guests need transparency
Mexican cuisine often has natural vegan and gluten-free options — but only if tortillas and toppings are labelled clearly. Guests with intolerances will order elsewhere if the allergen information isn't immediately visible.
- Delivery without commission is underused
Many Mexican restaurants still route all delivery through Lieferando or Wolt and pay 20–30% per order. With a direct ordering channel, that margin stays in the business.
How GastroSystem helps Mexican restaurants
Build-your-own configurator
Define the configuration steps for each item: protein (chicken, beef, beans, tofu), base (rice, salad, tortilla), toppings (multi-select), sauce (single-select, mandatory). The guest builds their order step by step. The kitchen receipt shows every component clearly — no back-and-forth at the pass.
Automatic time-limited promotions
Create a 'Taco Tuesday' category that is only visible on Tuesdays between 11:00 and 22:00. Happy Hour prices activate automatically at 16:00 and revert at 18:00. No manual switching, no pricing errors.
Allergen and dietary labels
Tag every item with the relevant allergens from the list of 14. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free labels appear as icons in the menu. Guests can filter by dietary preference. This reduces queries and increases trust among guests with intolerances.
Direct delivery channel with 0% commission
Your own ordering page with your branding, promoted via QR code on packaging and social media. Orders go directly to your system — no platform cuts. At €8,000 monthly delivery revenue, that saves up to €2,400 in commission.
Less commission, more margin
A Mexican restaurant with €7,000 monthly delivery revenue through Lieferando pays up to €2,100 in commission. With GastroSystem, the same volume costs a €99–€269 flat rate. The build-your-own configurator also raises the average ticket by €1.50–€2.50 through targeted extras upselling.

Common questions for Mexican restaurants
Can I activate Taco Tuesday automatically every week?
Yes. You set up the promo once with a weekday, time and discount amount, and after that it runs automatically every week. You can pause or adjust it any time.
How many choice levels can a bowl have?
No limit. Typical is 3–5 levels: base, protein, toppings, salsa, extra. Every level can be set as required or optional, with a minimum and maximum choice.
Can I book family deals as a bundle?
Yes. Create bundle items with several individual components. The price is fixed or calculated from the chosen variants. The kitchen ticket lists every individual component separately.
