The floor, at a glance

Restaurant table management software for a busy floor

Who is seated, who has ordered, whose bill is out. Every table says it in a word, on every screen that shows the floor.

Last reviewed 1 Oct 2026

The short answer CountStand’s restaurant table management software shows your floor as one tile per table, each with its state in a word: Free, Running, In kitchen, Bill printed, Paid. Staff split, merge and move bills between tables, the bill records covers, and captains take the order on a phone at the table. It is in every plan, from ₹2,999 a month per outlet.

01At a glance

What the floor lets your team do

  • Read the room at a glanceEach tile shows the table’s state, how long it has been in it, the bill so far and the guests: “Running, 26m, ₹1,323, 4 guests”.
  • Split, merge, moveSplit a bill by dish or into equal shares, merge one bill into another, or move a bill to another table. Splitting by dish stops once anything is paid.
  • Covers on the billThe bill records how many guests are at the table, set before the first order goes to the kitchen.
  • Captains on a phoneCaptains and waiters open a table on their phone and send the order to the kitchen. Taking payment stays with the cashier.
  • Tables set up in one goAdd a zone’s tables in one action, up to 60 at a time. Rename the zone and every table follows.
  • A table with a bill staysA table with an open bill cannot be removed. The screen says why: “Settle its bill before removing it.”

02In detail

Why does the floor need to be one live picture?

On a full night three people hold three maps of the room. The captain thinks table nine is free, the host seated it a minute ago, and the cashier is chasing a bill that moved twenty minutes ago. Each map is right for a moment, and the gaps between them are where a table is seated twice or a round of drinks goes unbilled.

CountStand keeps one floor. A tile changes when its table changes: seated, ordered, sent to the kitchen, billed, paid, cleared. The host stand, the captain’s phone and the till read the same tiles, so nobody has to ask the room what state it is in.

How do captains and the cashier share the work?

A captain opens the table on a phone, adds the dishes with their portions and add-ons, and sends them. The kitchen gets its ticket and the tile turns to In kitchen. The captain never walks to a terminal to key in an order written on a pad.

Money stays at the counter. Captains and waiters cannot take payment; the cashier prints the bill, takes cash, UPI or card, and the tile turns to Paid. Merging two bills is a manager’s or the owner’s call.
