Product · Table ordering

Four diners.
Four orders. One table.

Table ordering falls over on the four-top. OrderLah is built around that case rather than around the single diner, because the four-top is what a Saturday actually looks like.

The shape of it

Outlet → Table T12 → many sessions → one basket each → one order each

The table is a label on an order and never an index. Everything downstream — the kitchen, the counter, the print queue, the unpaid-table watch — is keyed by the order itself, so two orders from one table are two ordinary orders that happen to share a label.

Staff can still take an order

Nothing about table QR removes table service. A waiter's tablet rings the same order into the same book, and the kitchen cannot tell — and does not need to — which of the two produced it.

A busy room is a load problem, and it is solved

A full room means dozens of open pages, each watching for its own order's status. Past a limit, an over-the-limit watcher is held rather than answered instantly, and a page told to stand down does so for a minute — because the alternative is every page in the room spinning on a one-second loop and eating the budget that placing an order needs.

Pause ordering, per table or for the room

Kitchen swamped? Pause and the pages say so, warmly, instead of taking orders nobody can cook. Turn it back on and they pick up where they were.

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.

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.
