The Elmenus alternative that gives you your own storefront
A listing on Elmenus puts your menu in a marketplace next to your competitors, sorted by the app's ranking, with the customer belonging to the platform. Orderlya is the alternative that hands you your own branded ordering page and WhatsApp channel — an Arabic-speaking AI takes the order, there's zero per-order commission on your own channel, and your POS, kitchen and delivery all run from one screen.
A listing you rent vs a storefront you own
On Elmenus your restaurant is one tile in a marketplace, ranked by the app and surrounded by competitors. The customer belongs to the platform, not to you. Orderlya gives you your own branded ordering page and WhatsApp channel — a storefront you own, where the relationship and the repeat business are yours to keep.
Zero commission on your own channel
A marketplace listing earns its keep by taking a share of the orders it sends you — and it takes it again every time a regular comes back. Orderlya is a flat monthly EGP subscription with zero per-order commission on your own WhatsApp, Instagram and storefront, so a returning customer costs you nothing extra. (See the plans on the pricing page.)
Your brand and your Arabic, not a marketplace tile
Inside a listing app you look like every other menu, in the app's layout and its ranking. Orderlya carries your name and your menu, in natural Arabic or English, with cash on delivery as a first-class option and an AI that answers every message and takes the order for you, day or night.
Keep the customer relationship
When someone orders through a listing, you rarely get their number and can't message them again. On Orderlya every order arrives in your own WhatsApp, and the customer's number, name and order history live in your dashboard — so you can bring regulars back yourself instead of paying to reach them again.
Keep Elmenus for discovery, own the repeats
This isn't switch-everything-off-overnight. Elmenus is good at discovery — putting you in front of people who have never ordered from you. Keep it for that, and move your repeat business onto your own channel with Orderlya, where those orders carry no commission. Over a few months your owned orders outgrow the rented ones.
Common questions
Is Orderlya a replacement for Elmenus?
It's an alternative for your repeat business — the orders you shouldn't be paying a marketplace cut on. Many restaurants keep Elmenus for discovering new customers and move their regulars onto their own WhatsApp and storefront with Orderlya, commission-free.
Does Orderlya charge commission?
No. Orderlya is a flat monthly EGP subscription with zero per-order commission on your own channel. See the pricing page for the monthly plans.
Do I get my own ordering page?
Yes. Orderlya gives you your own branded storefront plus a WhatsApp ordering flow, in Arabic or English, with cash on delivery as a first-class option — a page you own, not a listing in someone else's marketplace.
Do I keep my customer list?
Yes. Every order comes into your own WhatsApp, and the customer's number, name and order history live in your dashboard. They're your records — you can reach your customers again yourself.
