Counter, QR and online. One queue.
What a café actually needs
Speed, low cost, and nothing that falls over with twelve people waiting.
The café-specific headaches
Small margins, high volume, thin staffing.
The morning queue
Every second at the counter is a customer deciding whether to wait.
Small orders, tight margins
On a KES 250 coffee there is no room for waste.
High staff turnover
Baristas come and go. A system that takes a week to learn goes unused.
Regulars you cannot reach
Regulars come in daily, but you have no way to reach them.
Scan at the table. Order. Eat.
The QR already knows the table. Customers order from their own phone and the kitchen gets the ticket.
Ask how yesterday went.
How Orderly suits a café
- QR ordering at the table, so nobody joins the queue
- M-Pesa matched automatically, no reading SMS at closing
- Runs on a tablet you may already own
- Learned in under an hour
Proof: Many food businesses already run on me, from small kitchens to top restaurants.

No. Global systems advertise a low monthly price then add card-processing fees on every transaction, so a plan listed cheaply can bill many times more once extras switch on. Orderly is a flat monthly fee per branch with no cut of your sales.
No. Your customers pay a small service fee of KSh 1 to 10 per order, and delivery fees go straight to the rider. Your food revenue stays yours.
No. There are no long contracts and no penalties for leaving. Pay monthly, or pay for the whole year at once (12 months at the normal monthly price).
Yes, any time. Many restaurants start on Orderly and move up to Orderly Plus or Orderly AI Ultra when they want the assistant, more counters or more branches.
