Customers scan and order from their own phone. The tablet on your
counter holds the menu and every order, so the till and the kitchen
carry on over your shop's own Wi-Fi when the internet line is down.
Outside ordering, provider payments, email, updates, remote reports and
licence checks still need it.
No card needed, and no app for your customers. Your 14 days start when
you activate on your tablet — not when you sign up.

How it works
One order, from the table to the pass.
Follow a plate of chicken rice and a kopi from table 8 to the stall
and back. Scroll at your own pace — the pictures follow you, never the other way round.

01 · Scan
Every table has its own code.
A printed card on the table, with a QR code that names the table and
nothing else — so it never has to be handed round or reprinted. The
customer points their own phone's camera at it.
02 · Browse
Your menu opens in their browser.
No app to install and no account to make. Your dishes, your photos,
your add-ons, in your shop's language — and a dish you have marked
sold out says so before anybody asks for it.
03 · Choose
They pick, change quantities, add a note.
Two chicken rice, one kopi, less chilli. Whether they see your menu
as a list, a grid or their own choice of the two is a setting on your
tablet.
04 · Send
Place order. Your tablet numbers it.
The order goes to the hub on your counter, which gives it its number
and keeps it. The customer's phone shows Order Received and follows
it from there.
05 · Arrive
It lands at the counter with a sound.
The hub rings, so nobody has to watch a screen. If you use a thermal
printer, a ticket prints too — printers are optional, and a shop can
run on screens alone.
06 · Cook
The kitchen screen moves it along.
It appears under New. A tap moves it to Cooking — the customer's
phone now says Being Prepared — and each station can have its own
screen.
07 · Collect
Ready. The number is called.
Marked Ready, it shows on the wall board and the customer's phone says
Ready for Collection! They collect at the counter, and Done clears it
from the board.
Try it right here
Don't just read about it. Order something.
This is a working copy of both halves — the customer's phone on the
left, your hub on the right. Nothing is sent anywhere, no real order is
created, and you can restart it as many times as you like.

Wah. You just learnt OrderLah.See? No training manual thicker than the menu.
Demo only — it runs entirely in your browser and creates no real order.
No card needed. Your 14 days start when you activate on your tablet —
not when you sign up.
Offline-first, honestly explained
Cut the internet. Watch what carries on.
Most ordering systems are a website with your menu on it, and when the
line drops, so does lunch. OrderLah is built the other way round: the
tablet on your counter is the server, and every device in the shop
talks to it over your own Wi-Fi.
Internet up: orders come in from tables in the shop and, if you have
switched it on, from outside it.

An outage that lasts is different: a trial or subscription hub has to reach
OrderLah from time to time to confirm its licence, and one cut off for too
long asks to be connected before it carries on. A Permanent Offline hub never
asks. Every case — the tablet going
flat, both at once, a payment provider down — is written out on
offline ordering.
Multiple devices, one outlet
Explore the OrderLah World.
One tablet is the hub. Everything else in the shop pairs with it: scan
the pairing code, approve it on the hub, and it joins. One licence
covers the outlet, so every device you pair is included.
Look round the hawker centre in 360°, or follow the numbers below — the
guide says everything the 3D view does.
The shop's own network is what joins everything to the hub. The
internet line behind it is for ordering from outside the shop,
provider payments, email, updates, reading reports from elsewhere and
a trial or subscription licence's periodic check — the counter and
kitchen do not need it.
An ordinary Android tablet is the hub: it holds the menu, numbers
every order and keeps the order book. Staff take counter orders on it
or on any paired device, and new devices are approved here.
Optional. A thermal printer you buy from whoever you like, over
Bluetooth or your network, prints kitchen tickets and receipts in your
own layout; a label printer can print bag labels for takeaway.
A screen where customers wait calls the numbers that are ready. A spare tablet,
or a television's web browser, can be one — paired like everything
else, with its own credential.
From your own phone or computer, the back office asks the hub for the
day's figures when the hub is reachable — sales, best sellers, busy
hours, how people paid — and exports them as CSV.

AvailableOffline-first operation
Your tablet is the server: the menu, the order numbers and every
order live on it. The counter, the kitchen and the phones at the
tables reach it over your own Wi-Fi, so service in the shop does not
wait for the internet line.
Table codes, a counter code, or both. Customers order in their own
browser — no app, no sign-up — in your shop's language, and see the
menu as a list, a grid, or their own choice: your setting.
Scan to pair, then approve on the hub. Counter tablets, kitchen
screens, wall boards and staff phones each get their own credential,
and any one can be removed from the hub. One licence covers them all.
New, Cooking, Ready, Done — timed, with an alert when an order
arrives. A screen per station if you want one, and sold-out and
pause switches that reach every device at once.
Available · auto-recovery in testingReceipt printing
Optional — screens alone work fine. Bluetooth and network thermal
printers, tickets and receipts in your own layout, and receipts
customers scan onto their phone. Reprinting by itself after a power
cut is still being checked on real printers.
Bag labels for takeaway on a label printer such as the Clabel
CT-221B. OrderLah draws each label as an image, so a dish name in
any of your languages prints as written.
Sales, best sellers, busy hours and voids; a daily closing split by
how people paid; CSV exports for your accountant. On the tablet, or
from the back office whenever the hub can be reached.
Each outlet runs on its own hub. Your back office asks every one for
its figures and sets them side by side, names an outlet it could not
reach, and never adds ringgit to dollars.
Available · provider checkout not yetPayment options
Record cash, PayNow, card terminal, part-payments and refunds, and
show your own PayNow, DuitNow or Touch 'n Go QR. No cut. Checkout
through HitPay, Fiuu or Stripe is built but not yet offered to
merchants.
Everyone signs in with their own PIN, and you decide who may give a
discount, refund, edit the menu or read the reports. What was
changed, and by whom, is kept in a log on the tablet.
Variants and add-ons, dish photos, serving hours, sold out in one tap
on every device, and a pause button for the rush. Bring a menu in
from a spreadsheet instead of typing it.
A stamp card on the customer's phone, receipts they keep, an
ordering page you can share beyond the shop, and reports that show
what sells when. One loyalty card across all your shops is still
being explored.
Every outlet is its own hub, its own menu and its own licence, so one
shop's bad afternoon is nobody else's problem. What you get as the
owner is a way to look at them together.

One report, asked of every shop
Your back office asks each outlet's own tablet for its figures and
sets them side by side — the shop's own numbers, not a copy that
might be behind.
A shop that is off says so
An outlet whose tablet is off or whose line is down is named as
unreachable — never counted as a day of zero sales.
Ringgit and dollars stay apart
A Malaysian outlet and a Singaporean one are reported in their own
currencies, and never added into one figure.
Your Growth, Our Journey.
The essentials
One place for orders and service.
Start simply. Switch on the extra tools when your shop needs them.
QR & counter orders
Table-specific QR codes, a browser menu and staff ordering on the same board.
Kitchen queue
New → Cooking → Ready → Done, with an alert when a new order arrives.
Menu controls
Variants, add-ons, sold-out switches and a pause button for busy moments.
Sales & records
Record how customers paid, close the day and export reports.
A short checklist before service. Android 7.0 or newer. Your customers install nothing; your own Wi-Fi keeps local ordering running. No card for the trial. Your 14 days start at activation, not when you sign up.
Create an account on the web, make your business and your outlet, and finish the rest on the tablet. The fourteen days begin when you activate the tablet in your hands — not on the day you registered. A merchant with several shops sees them side by side and consolidated.
Licences for Malaysian outlets sold and invoiced by a registered Malaysian company, in ringgit with local tax handling. Until that company is registered, OrderLah does not sell licences in Malaysia.
From your first order to your next outlet, let's grow together.
This roadmap shares OrderLah’s current development direction. Priorities, designs and timing may change as we test features, learn from merchants and respond to operational needs. Items marked “Exploring” are ideas under consideration and are not delivery commitments.
Quick answers
A few things worth knowing.
Do customers need an app?
No. They scan your QR code and order in their phone's browser.
Does it work without internet?
Local ordering works while the hub and devices share the shop's network. Ordering from outside the shop, provider payments, email, updates and remote reports need internet, and a trial or subscription hub has to connect from time to time to confirm its licence.
Does OrderLah collect payments?
OrderLah records payments; it does not process them. Use your own bank, wallet or payment provider.
When does the free trial start?
Your 14 days start when you activate on your tablet, not when you sign up. No card needed.
Every new outlet gets a full 14-day trial — the whole product, not a cut-down version — with nothing to cancel at the end of it. You do not need to be invited, approved or called back: create the account, put it on your tablet, and go. What a licence costs afterwards is on the pricing page, in your own currency, taken straight from the price list checkout actually charges.
Nothing here is a gate — the trial above is open right now. But if you'd like somebody to walk your stall through it, tell us a bit and we'll get in touch. Takes about a minute; fields marked * are required.
