🎟️ No more shouting numbers
Every order gets a number the moment it is sent, and the customer's own phone follows it from New to Cooking to Ready. They look at their phone instead of at you.
For hawker stalls
The hardest ten minutes of a hawker stall's day is the one where the queue is eight deep, somebody is shouting an order over the extractor fan and the wok cannot stop. OrderLah takes the ordering half off your hands: people order on their own phones, the tickets queue themselves, and you cook.
Every order gets a number the moment it is sent, and the customer's own phone follows it from New to Cooking to Ready. They look at their phone instead of at you.
One tap when the chicken runs out and the dish greys out on every phone in the queue. No more taking an order you cannot cook.
Big tap targets, readable type, and a layout that solves itself from the size of your screen rather than from a device list. Nobody has to pinch-zoom mid-service.
The tablet is the hub. If the hawker centre's internet drops, the stall keeps taking orders — the phones are talking to your tablet, not to a data centre.
How it works
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.
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.

TABLE T08
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.

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.
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.
NEW ORDER · #0088 · T08
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
The things you actually need mid-service are one tap away, not four menus deep. Try them — these are live.
Mark it sold out and it stops being orderable everywhere at once — counter, table QR, every device. Put it back the same way.
Pause ordering, catch up, switch it back on. Customers see a clear message instead of sending orders you can't cook.
Even wok hei needs a break.
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.
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.
Offline-first, honestly explained
Your stall shouldn't.
Most ordering systems are a website with your menu on it: the shop is a thin client, and when the line drops, so does lunch. OrderLah is built the other way round — your tablet is the server. It holds the menu, mints the order numbers and stores every order on the device itself.
Ordering from outside the shop is an extra you switch on. The hub dials out to a relay itself — no VPN, no router settings, nothing for you to keep alive.
The QR at the table still opens the menu, the counter still sends orders, the Order Board still moves, and the takings are still recorded. Only ordering from outside the shop waits for the line to come back.
Because "sorry, system down" shouldn't be part of the menu.
