The Talabat alternative that lets you keep your margin
Talabat and the other delivery aggregators put you in front of a big audience — but you rent that audience, and you pay a commission of roughly 20–30% on every single order, including your loyal regulars. Orderlya is the alternative Egyptian restaurants move their repeat business to: a commission-free ordering system on your own WhatsApp, Instagram and storefront, with an Arabic-speaking AI that takes the order and a POS, kitchen and delivery that all run from one screen.
What "alternative to Talabat" really means
You are not looking to disappear from Talabat overnight — you are looking to stop paying a percentage on the customers who already know you. The honest alternative is a channel you own, where a returning customer costs you no commission. Keep Talabat for discovery; own the repeat orders yourself.
Zero commission instead of 20–30% per order
Aggregators take a cut of every order that grows exactly as you grow, and it bites hardest on loyal regulars who would have come back anyway. Orderlya is a flat monthly subscription in EGP with zero per-order commission on your own channel — take ten orders or ten thousand on WhatsApp and the price is the same. (See the plans on the pricing page.)
You keep the customer — number, name, history
On Talabat, the person who ordered your food is Talabat's customer. On Orderlya every order arrives in your own WhatsApp, and the customer's number, name and order history live in your dashboard. When a regular reorders, they message you directly — and you can reach them again yourself.
One system, not another disconnected tablet
Aggregator orders land on a separate tablet, cut off from your POS, kitchen screen, delivery and books. Orderlya fuses order-taking with operations: an order taken on WhatsApp flows straight to the kitchen board, the POS and your reporting, and for delivery into dispatch with a tracking link for the customer.
How to switch without losing sales
Run both in parallel. Start a 14-day free trial, connect WhatsApp, load your menu from a photo, and put a QR flyer in every Talabat delivery bag: 'Order direct next time — same menu, faster, with a loyalty reward.' The second order comes to you commission-free. Over a few months your owned orders outgrow the rented ones.
Common questions
Is Orderlya a replacement for Talabat?
It's an alternative for the orders you shouldn't be paying commission on — your repeat customers. Many restaurants keep Talabat for discovering new customers and move their regulars onto their own WhatsApp with Orderlya, where orders carry zero commission.
How much does Orderlya charge per order?
Nothing. Orderlya is a flat monthly EGP subscription with zero per-order commission on your own channel. Orders you still take on Talabat remain subject to Talabat's own fees. See the pricing page for the monthly plans.
Do I keep my customers if I move off Talabat?
Yes. Every order on Orderlya comes into your own WhatsApp, and the customer's number, name and order history stay in your dashboard — they're your records, not an aggregator's.
How do I get Talabat customers to order direct?
Give them an easier, cheaper-to-you path and a reason: a QR flyer in the delivery bag, your WhatsApp number on the receipt, and a loyalty reward for ordering direct. When direct is effortless, regulars choose it.
