The Foodics alternative built around WhatsApp ordering
Foodics is a well-known restaurant POS in the region. Orderlya is a full POS too — 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, commission-free on your own channel.
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.
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.
Try it on your own floor before you switch
You don't have to guess whether it fits. Load your menu from a photo, ring up a few orders, and see how the POS, kitchen board and WhatsApp ordering feel together during a real shift — free for 14 days, no credit card.
Common questions
Is Orderlya a real POS or just WhatsApp ordering?
Both. It's a full touch POS with kitchen display, dine-in, cash control and reporting — plus native WhatsApp/Instagram AI ordering in the same system.
How is Orderlya priced?
A flat monthly EGP subscription, with zero per-order commission on your own channels. See the pricing page for what each tier includes.
Can I move my menu over easily?
Yes. Snap a photo or upload your existing menu and the AI builds it into your catalog — items, prices and options — during setup.
