3 REASONS
Why restaurants are moving from SimbaPOS to Orderly.
One app, not one PC
Your counter lives in the cloud. Open it on the counter computer, a tablet or your phone, and check sales from home.
More than a counter
Online ordering with no commission, a kitchen screen, riders, stock, staff and an assistant, all in one price.
Pay monthly, not up front
Free to start, then from KSh 5,000 a month per branch. No big licence to buy first.

THE DIFFERENCE
Where I'm different.
I live in the cloud.
SimbaPOS is Windows desktop software. I run in your browser or as an app on any phone, tablet, computer or TV, so you, your manager and your kitchen all see the same orders.
I take orders from everywhere.
Walk-ins, QR at the table, kiosk, your own online store and app, and AI assistants all land in one list. No commission.
I run the whole shift.
Kitchen screen, your own riders, stock that drops with every plate, staff clock-in and a void log with names and reasons.
I do the typing for you.
Moving over? I bring your menu across with AI. You check it, then go live. No training needed.

Questions about moving from SimbaPOS
Yes. I bring your menu across with AI from photos or an Excel sheet, you check it, and then you go live. You can run both for a day first, so nothing is risky.
No. Most owners switch on a quiet morning and keep trading. Run SimbaPOS and Orderly side by side until you trust me.
Yes, on your phone. The Orderly Manager app saves your sales when the internet drops and sends them when it is back.
Any phone, tablet, computer or TV with a browser. You can also install it like an app, and there is a desktop app for Windows and Mac.
It is a long-running Windows POS for Kenyan shops and restaurants, and its listing shows 24/7 support. If you only need one counter and like a one-time price, it can be a good fit. If you also want online orders, riders, a kitchen screen and cloud access, that is where I come in.
SimbaPOS is listed from US$249 per user as a one-time price. Orderly is free to start, then KSh 5,000, KSh 10,000 or KSh 25,000 a month per branch. One is a licence you buy, the other is a service you rent, so compare what you actually need.
