What a QR menu really is

A QR menu is your menu on a web page, opened by scanning a QR code — no app to install. A customer at a table, or standing at your window, points their camera, sees your dishes and prices, and orders. It is the lowest-friction way to hand someone your menu and let them order on the spot.

The point is not just a digital menu — it is an ordering channel. A menu they can only read is a brochure; a menu they can order from is a till.

Put your menu online once

The slow part used to be building the menu. With Orderlya you snap a photo or upload a PDF of your existing menu and the AI builds it for you — items, prices and options — into one menu that powers your QR page, your web storefront and your POS at the same time. Change a price once and it updates everywhere.

That single menu is what a QR code points to: your own branded ordering page, in Arabic or English, with cash on delivery as a first-class option.

Take the order — and connect it to the kitchen

An online order is only useful if it reaches the kitchen cleanly. In Orderlya, an order placed from the QR menu or on WhatsApp lands straight on your kitchen board and in your POS, and — for delivery — into dispatch with a tracking link for the customer. Nothing is re-typed onto a separate device.

For chat orders, an Arabic- and English-speaking AI takes the order conversationally and confirms it, so a message at midnight gets the same instant handling as one at lunch.

Keep the commission you would have paid

When customers order from your own QR menu or WhatsApp instead of a delivery aggregator, there is no per-order commission — aggregators typically take around 20–30%. Put your QR code on the table, the receipt, the bag and your shop window, and give regulars a reason to order direct.

Because it is a flat monthly EGP subscription with unlimited orders on your own channel, the more you move to direct ordering, the lower your blended cost per order.
