🥛 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.
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
📋 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, every single order.
This is a lunchtime with OrderLah running — what your customer does, what you hear, and what the kitchen sees. Looking for what you have to do first instead? That is five steps too, and they are here.
-
Step 1
The QR is on the table
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. Printed once, and then it just sits there working.

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.

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.
-
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.

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.

The trial is the whole product for 14 days, with no card and nothing to cancel. 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. You do not need to be invited, approved or called back: create the account, put it on your tablet, and go. What a licence costs afterwards is on the pricing page, in your own currency, taken straight from the price list checkout actually charges.
- Your 14 days start when you activate on your tablet — not when you sign up.
- Turn on the parts you want — QR only, counter only, or the lot. It is all in the settings.
- Tell us what is missing and it changes the app. We do read it.
