A restaurant in a state with a specific category must register for GST if its total annual turnover reaches 10 lakhs. And in the normal category total turnover will be 20 lakhs.

Restaurants are subject to either a 5% GST rate under the GST with no possibility to claim input tax credits (ITCs) or an 18% GST rate with claims for ITCs. The location of the establishment will determine this rate.
