01In detail
How does a Chennai restaurant’s day run?
Early, and in three menus. The tiffin rush starts before most offices open and fills the counter with small orders of idli, vada, pongal and coffee. Lunch is meals, served at the tables. Evening brings tiffin back, with dosas and parottas. Near the IT corridor on OMR the weekday lunch is the peak; in the older neighbourhoods, breakfast often is.
CountStand keeps the whole menu in sections on one strip, so the counter jumps from tiffin to meals without changing screens. A tap adds an item, a typed quantity adds several, and the hourly report shows when each rush really peaks.
How do meals at the tables run?
From the floor. Each table’s tile shows whether it is free, running, in the kitchen, billed or paid, and captains take orders on a phone. Orders go to the kitchen as tickets with a clock; the board puts late tickets first and counts what is still to cook.
Where does a tiffin kitchen lose money?
In rice, dal, milk and oil, the things it uses most. Give each dish a recipe and stock comes down as plates sell; a count at close shows the gap in rupees. Milk and curd come in as dated batches and are used in order of expiry.
When can a Chennai restaurant start?
Not yet, and there is no date. CountStand opens a state when it holds that state’s rules, and at launch those are Gujarat’s, Maharashtra’s and Karnataka’s. A Chennai restaurant can apply now and join the waitlist, and we write when Tamil Nadu opens.

Questions from Chennai kitchens
Yes. The menu is one list in sections, and the strip above it jumps between them, so the counter moves from tiffin to meals in a tap.
Yes. Drinks can go to a station of their own, so the coffee counter sees only the coffee.
