Your regulars, on the record

Restaurant CRM software that starts at the bill

Add a guest at the till, and their visits, spend and points build up on their own, with the consent you recorded beside them.

Last reviewed 1 Oct 2026

The short answer Restaurant CRM software keeps a record of your guests so you can recognise and reward the ones who return. In CountStand the record starts at the till: the cashier adds a phone number and a name, and each settled bill adds a visit, the spend and loyalty points, at one point for every ₹100. Consent is recorded purpose by purpose. Phone numbers and names are stored encrypted, and a guest’s personal data is erased two years after their last order. Customer records are in Single, ₹2,999 a month, or ₹2,549 paid yearly; sending campaigns is not open at launch.

01At a glance

What the guest book holds.

  • Built at the tillAdd customer on the bill: a phone number, and a name if they give it. No forms at the door.
  • Visits and spendEach settled bill adds a visit, the amount and the date, so the last visit is always current.
  • Loyalty pointsOne point for every ₹100, earned at settlement and redeemed from the same record.
  • Segments made for youNew, regular, VIP and lapsed, worked out from what guests actually did.
  • Consent that means somethingEach purpose is granted and withdrawn on its own, and the database refuses a marketing message to a guest whose consent is not live.
  • Erasure on timePersonal data goes two years after the last order, or sooner on request. The orders stay, anonymised.

02In detail

Why keep guest records at all?

Because a full room is mostly people who came back. Knowing who they are, how often they come and what they spend lets you recognise them at the counter and reward them with points they can see. The record is only useful if it is built without extra work, which is why it starts at the bill.

Can a restaurant store guest data under the DPDP Act?

Yes, with discipline: collect it with consent, use it for the purposes the guest agreed to, keep it safe, and delete it when it is no longer needed. CountStand records consent for each purpose separately, encrypts phone numbers and names, masks phone numbers on screen, and erases a guest’s personal data two years after their last order. Bills and tax records are kept eight years, as the law requires, with the guest’s details removed.

What is not open at launch?

  • Sending campaigns, by SMS or anything else: switched off until a delivery path is registered. Records and segments do run.
  • Online ordering for guests: not open at launch.
