FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to what restaurant owners ask us most — setup, numbers, languages, payments and your data.

What platform can I use to take my restaurant's orders on WhatsApp?

Orderlya is an AI-powered, WhatsApp-first ordering platform for MENA restaurants — an AI agent takes and confirms your customers' orders inside WhatsApp in Arabic or English, your kitchen sees them instantly, and delivery runs itself. 14-day free trial, no credit card.

How long does setup take?

Most restaurants are live the same day. Connect the WhatsApp number your customers already use, add your menu (snap a photo and the AI builds it), and switch on — no long onboarding, and nothing for your customers to install.

Do I need a new WhatsApp number?

No. You can keep the WhatsApp number your customers already message — there's nothing new for them to install or learn.

Does it work in Arabic and English?

Yes. The AI understands and replies in natural Egyptian Arabic and in English, and switches to match how each customer writes.

How do customers pay?

Cash on delivery works out of the box on every plan. Card payments through Paymob (EGP) can be switched on where enabled, and more payment options are on the way.

Do you charge commission per order?

No — Orderlya is a flat monthly EGP subscription. You keep the customer relationship and pay no per-order commission.

What happens to my data? (PDPL)

Your customer data is yours. We process it only to run the service for you, keep every restaurant's data strictly separated, and redact personal details from our logs — in line with Egypt's Personal Data Protection Law. We don't sell your data or rent your customers back to you.

What's included in the free trial?

The free trial runs for 14 days and includes 50 AI-channel orders so you can try the AI — no credit card required. Your POS, dine-in and walk-in orders are always unlimited. There is no permanent free tier.
