POS & management software for cloud kitchens
No floor, no walk-ins, a cloud kitchen is a delivery engine. Multi-brand billing, a KDS that never lies, and per-brand margins are the whole job.
CountStand runs a cloud kitchen delivery-first: several brands billed from one kitchen with clean per-brand GST and reporting, a KDS that interleaves brands and channels without losing a ticket, per-brand recipe costing so you know each brand’s real margin, and a 0%-commission WhatsApp/QR channel for direct orders. From ₹999/mo per outlet.
Built for how a cloud kitchen actually runs
The jobs a cloud kitchen needs done, not a generic billing screen.
Multiple brands, one kitchen
Bill three virtual brands from one line with separate menus, GSTINs, invoice series and reporting, GSTR-1 stays clean per brand instead of becoming month-end archaeology.
A KDS built for delivery peaks
Orders from every brand and channel land on one kitchen screen with timers and course control, so an 8pm surge across brands doesn’t drop a ticket.
Per-brand recipe costing
Each brand’s dishes cost against live ingredient prices; you see which brand actually makes money and which is renting your kitchen.
Own the customer at 0% commission
A QR/WhatsApp storefront takes repeat orders direct, the margin escape route from 25–35% aggregator deductions.
How do you run multiple brands from one cloud kitchen?
A cloud kitchen’s advantage is also its accounting nightmare: three or four "restaurants" share one stove, one team and one GSTIN registration, but each needs its own menu, its own invoice series and its own P&L. Do this on a generic POS and month-end reconciliation becomes guesswork.
CountStand treats each brand as a first-class entity: separate menus and pricing, brand-tagged KOTs, per-brand invoice numbering and per-brand reporting, while the kitchen still sees one unified queue. You get clean compliance and honest per-brand margins from the same ₹999/mo.
How does a cloud kitchen escape aggregator commission?
Cloud kitchens live and die on delivery economics, and aggregator commissions of 25–35% (all-in) are the single biggest line item after food and rent. The only durable fix is a direct channel for repeat customers who already know your brand.
CountStand ships a commission-free QR/WhatsApp storefront: an insert in every aggregator order nudges the next one direct, the catalogue remembers the last order, and you keep the full ticket. Even shifting 20% of orders direct is often the difference between a brand that scales and one that stalls, model it with our commission calculator.
Asked by owners like you
What software do cloud kitchens use in India?
Cloud kitchens need multi-brand billing from one kitchen, a delivery-first KDS, per-brand recipe costing, and a commission-free direct channel. CountStand does all four from ₹999/mo per outlet, plus offline-first billing and one-click GSTR-1.
Can I run several brands on one subscription?
Yes, multiple virtual brands run from one kitchen with separate menus, invoice series and reporting, billed per outlet (the kitchen), not per brand.
How do I reduce Zomato and Swiggy commission as a cloud kitchen?
Convert repeat customers to a direct 0%-commission WhatsApp/QR channel, negotiate on volume, and consider ONDC. CountStand includes the direct channel; our aggregator-commission calculator shows the monthly saving.
Does a cloud kitchen need a KDS?
Yes, with no floor, the KDS is the operation. It sequences every brand and channel on one screen with timers so delivery peaks don’t lose tickets.
Can AI manage a cloud kitchen’s inventory?
Yes. The agent tracks each brand’s recipe-level usage against billing, flags variance in rupees, forecasts stock-outs before the weekend surge, and drafts per-supplier purchase orders that wait for your approval, per brand, not one blurred kitchen.
