🍽️ Guests order when they are ready
Not when a server happens to be free. The table QR opens the menu on their own phone; staff spend the saved minutes running food instead of taking orders.
For small restaurants
One order book.
Every screen agrees.
A restaurant with a floor, a pass and a till has three places an order can go wrong. OrderLah makes them three views of the same thing: the table's phone, the kitchen display and the counter are looking at one order book, updated the moment anything changes.
What a service looks like
✍️ Staff can still take the order
Table service does not disappear. A waiter's tablet rings the same order into the same book, so the two ways of ordering are not two systems to reconcile.
🔔 The pass tells the floor
A ticket moved to Ready shows on the floor tablets and on the guest's own phone at the same moment. Nobody walks to the pass to find out.
📊 The day adds up at the end of it
Sales, payment methods, voids and refunds are all on the record, and the back-office view is the same data rather than a second set of books.
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.
-
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.

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.

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.
The kitchen board
The screen your kitchen actually looks at.
Big numbers, big lanes, readable from the wok. Every card carries how long it has been waiting — and turns red when it has been waiting too long, before the customer has to come and ask.

The sound only plays when you press the button — browsers don't allow audio before that, and neither would we.
The setup
One device runs the show.
Pick your best tablet and make it the hub. It keeps the menu, the orders and the takings. Everything else — the counter phone, the kitchen screen, the TV on the wall — joins it by scanning a QR code.
Customer scans your QR
Their own phone, no app

They all talk over your own network — the shop's Wi-Fi router, or the hub tablet's hotspot if there isn't one. That is why a broken internet line doesn't stop service.
Pairing is a QR scan. The hub shows a code, the new device reads it, done. No IP addresses to type, no router settings to change.
Printers, if you want them. Pair a kitchen printer and test it from the hub. Plenty of stalls run on the screen alone.
