POS software for casual & family dining restaurants
Families of six, a running tab, a table that turns three times on a Sunday, casual dining runs on the floor, and the floor is where CountStand is strongest.
CountStand is a casual and family dining POS built around the floor: a live table map, running tabs you can split, merge and move, KOTs fired to the right kitchen station, and covers that flow into the bill. It handles the big-group Sunday and the weekday turn equally, works offline through outages, and starts at ₹999/mo per outlet with setup on WhatsApp in five minutes.
Built for how a casual & family restaurant actually runs
The jobs a casual & family restaurant needs done, not a generic billing screen.
A live floor you run at a glance
Every table, its status and its running total on one screen. Seat, order, add rounds and settle without losing track of a single tab during a full Sunday lunch.
Split, merge and move tabs
A family splits the bill, two tables join for a birthday, a group shifts to the garden, the tab follows the guests, not the furniture.
KOT to the right station
Starters to the tandoor, mains to the main line, drinks to the bar, each item routes to its station with a timer so the table is served in the right order.
Covers and turns you can see
Track covers per table and table turns per shift, so you know which sections earn and how fast they clear on your busiest day.
What makes a family restaurant POS different from a counter one?
A counter business bills and moves on. A family restaurant runs an open tab per table for an hour or more: rounds get added, a starter is sent back, the group grows, the bill gets split three ways at the end. The POS has to hold all of that on a live floor without a single order landing on the wrong table, especially when every table is full at once.
CountStand is built for that floor. The table map is the home screen, tabs split and merge and move with the guests, and each item routes to its kitchen station with a timer, so a busy Sunday runs on the screen instead of in the captain’s memory.
How does it handle big groups and split bills?
Large family groups are the format’s bread and butter and its billing headache. CountStand lets a captain take the order tableside, add rounds through the meal, and at the end split the bill by guest, by item or evenly, or merge two tables that joined, without re-keying anything. Reservations hold the table so a booked group of ten is seated, not turned away.
The result is a smoother close: no arguments at the table, no manual arithmetic, and a covers-and-turns record that tells you which sections and shifts actually make money.
Asked by owners like you
What is the best POS for a family restaurant in India?
The best casual-dining POS runs the floor: a live table map, split/merge/move tabs, station-routed KOTs, and reservations for big groups, all offline-capable. CountStand does this from ₹999/mo per outlet with a 30-day free trial.
Can it split a family bill or merge tables?
Yes. Split by guest, by item or evenly, and merge tables that joined, without re-entering the order, so the close is quick and argument-free.
Does each dish reach the right kitchen station?
Yes. KOTs route starters, mains, breads and drinks to their stations with age timers, so a full floor is served in the right order.
Will it keep working if the internet drops mid-service?
Yes. The floor, tabs, KOTs and billing run offline and sync on reconnect, so a Sunday rush never stops.
What does the AI manager do for a family restaurant?
It reads the whole floor daily: which dishes carried the weekend, where recipe-versus-actual variance leaked in rupees, and what to reorder before Thursday’s delivery window. One WhatsApp briefing, and any spend waits for your YES.
