The Foodics alternative built around WhatsApp ordering

Both are restaurant systems — here's the difference in focus

Foodics is a well-known restaurant POS in the region. Orderlya is a full POS too — touch register, kitchen display, dine-in tables, cash control, reporting — but it's built around one thing most POS systems bolt on later: taking orders directly from customers on WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger with an Arabic-speaking AI. If ordering is where your growth is, that changes which tool fits.

WhatsApp AI ordering is native, not an add-on

In Orderlya, a customer messages your WhatsApp, an AI takes and confirms the order, and it lands on the same kitchen board and POS as a walk-in sale — one system, no separate tablet. Orders on your own channels carry no per-order commission. That's the core of the product, not a plugin.

Arabic-first, priced in EGP, cash-on-delivery normal

Orderlya's interface and its customer-facing AI both work in natural Arabic, pricing is in Egyptian pounds, and cash on delivery is a first-class flow — built for how restaurants in Egypt and the MENA region actually operate, not translated after the fact.

And it's a flat monthly EGP plan that sits below the legacy POS tiers, with zero per-order commission on your own channel and no per-terminal licensing — see the pricing page for exactly what each tier includes.

Everything a growing kitchen needs, in one plan

Beyond the register: a full Kitchen Display System, dine-in floor and QR-pay tables, driver dispatch and COD reconciliation, inventory with recipe costing and AI invoice scanning, loyalty and gift cards, multi-branch Brand HQ roll-ups, VAT reporting (with ETA e-invoicing in preview), and analytics with demand forecasting. Plans are a flat monthly EGP subscription — see the pricing page for exactly what each tier includes.
