For cafés

Oat milk, no sugar, extra shot.
Written down, once.

Café orders are mostly modifiers, and modifiers are where a paper ticket and a shouted order fall apart. OrderLah puts the choice in front of the person making it, prints it on the ticket, and keeps it on the order for the rest of its life.

Things a café notices in the first week

🥛 Add-ons that are actually optional

A dish that genuinely needs a choice asks for it. A flat white that does not, goes straight into the order. The till never guesses "iced" for somebody who said hot — a guess like that is a remake and a refund.

📋 Change the menu between services

Publish from the tablet and every phone in the room has the new menu on its next look. Prices, photos, categories, sold-out — all of it, without a support ticket.

📺 A board the bar can read

The kitchen display is a queue of tickets in four columns, with columns you can drag wider when the espresso side needs more room. It is meant to be read from two metres away.

🖼️ Photos on, or photos off

Turn dish photos off and the space goes away rather than sitting there empty — more items fit on a screen and nothing is decoded for a grid that shows no pictures.

How it works

Five steps. That's the whole setup.

No integration project, no cabling, no consultant. If you can print a piece of paper and charge a tablet, you can run this.

  1. Step 1

    Put up your QR

    One at the counter, one on every table, or both. OrderLah generates them for you — table numbers included, so the kitchen knows where the food goes.

  2. Step 2

    Customer scans

    The phone camera does it. The menu opens in the browser they already have. Nothing to install, no account to create, no password anybody will forget.

  3. Step 3

    Customer orders

    Items, variants, add-ons, quantity — and dine-in or takeaway when you've turned those on. Extra chicken, no cucumber, less spicy: it all comes through in writing, so nobody mishears it.

  4. Step 4

    You hear "DING!"

    The hub plays the new-order ringtone and the chit appears on the board. It is designed to be hard to miss across a hot, noisy kitchen — because a missed order is a refund and an argument.

  5. Step 5

    Cooking → Ready → Done

    One tap per stage. The board is the single source of truth for the counter, the kitchen and the display screen at the same moment — no shouting the same order twice.

See it before you decide anything.

The demo is the real flow with pretend data — order from a table, watch it hit the kitchen, move it to ready. No sign-up, no email, no salesperson.

Merchant controls

Your stall. Your rules.

The things you actually need mid-service are one tap away, not four menus deep. Try them — these are live.

Chicken finished?

Mark it sold out and it stops being orderable everywhere at once — counter, table QR, every device. Put it back the same way.

Kitchen drowning?

Pause ordering, catch up, switch it back on. Customers see a clear message instead of sending orders you can't cook.

Accepting orders

Even wok hei needs a break.

Service modes

Turn dine-in, takeaway and delivery on or off as you like. Only serving takeaway after 8pm? Switch the rest off.

Off means off. No surprise orders.

Tables

Number your tables, print a QR for each, and every order arrives knowing where it's going. Free-text table names work too, if your "tables" are really "the two stools by the fan".

One QR per table. The kitchen never asks "which table?" again.

Start free

Fourteen days free. No card.

Every new outlet gets a full 14-day trial — the whole product, not a cut-down version — with nothing to cancel at the end of it. What a licence costs afterwards is on the pricing page, in your own currency, taken straight from the price list checkout actually charges.

  • We look at how your stall actually runs before touching anything.
  • You get the setup that fits — QR only, counter only, or the lot.
  • What you tell us changes the app. That's the point of talking to us early.

Tell us about your stall and we'll show you the relevant setup. One conversation, at a time that isn't your lunch rush.

Tell us about your shop

Takes about a minute. Fields marked are required — everything else helps us skip the obvious questions.
