Digital menu for restaurants in Beirut
A Beirut restaurant’s menu has to read in Arabic or English, show dollars and lira, and take the order the way Beirut pays: cash, Whish, OMT or a card. ala.menu builds that menu from your PDF or photos in minutes, in Arabic right to left or in English on the free plan, with a switcher between the two on Plus, puts it in your Instagram bio and on a QR, and takes WhatsApp orders free and your own checkout at 0% commission.
Used in Beirut by The Protein Bar, six of Fakhani Gourmet’s branches, Harbs Bakery and Joy Beirut.
Plus $49 a location a month, 0% commission.
What a Lebanese restaurant actually gets
A menu in your brand, in Arabic, without a designer
Send a PDF, photos or a text and the AI builds the menu in minutes, in your colours, right to left in Arabic with a real Arabic webfont, or in English. A restaurant, cafe, cloud kitchen or home kitchen. Free.
Your Instagram bio and your tables, one menu
One link for your bio opens the live menu with your hours, map and WhatsApp. The QR on the tables points at an address allocated once and never reissued, so a price change never means a reprint. Free.
WhatsApp orders, written out
The diner builds the cart on your menu and the order lands in your WhatsApp with the items, sizes, total and address written out, priced by the server and logged. Free.
0% commission, and the customer stays yours
Nothing is taken off an order on any plan. Every order on your menu writes the customer’s name, a phone number you can dial, the orders and the spend into your list. The list is Plus.
Cash, Whish, OMT and cards, the way Lebanon pays
Cash on delivery, or a Whish, OMT or bank transfer the diner sends and you confirm. Whish Pay works as a live gateway in USD and LBP, and cards run through CyberSource with NetCommerce or any bank, or Areeba’s Mastercard gateway; the money never passes through us. Plus.
Delivery by area, dollars shown in lira
Pick your delivery areas from a ready list of about 2,000 towns, villages and neighbourhoods in Lebanon and about 15,000 in Iraq, each already drawn on the map, with a fee and a minimum per zone. Price in USD and show diners LBP at your own rate and rounding. Plus.

Lebanon, spelled out
- Delivery aggregators
- Toters is the only aggregator operating here at scale. It does not publish a merchant rate card, so treat any exact number as hearsay: regional press reports 15 to 30% of order value for this category. Talabat does not operate in Lebanon: talabat.com/lebanon returned 404 when we checked on 2026-07-26.
- Our commission
- 0% per order, on every plan including Free. Gateway fees go straight between you and the gateway: Whish’s own per-payment fee (1% when we last checked) goes to Whish, not to us.
- Payment rails you can switch on
- Cash on delivery. Manual transfer with the Whish, OMT, bank and other presets: the diner sends, you confirm, and a manual transfer never marks the order paid on its own. Whish Pay as a live online gateway, in USD and LBP only. Cards through CyberSource, with NetCommerce or any bank, or Areeba’s Mastercard gateway. Online payments are Plus.
- Currency
- USD base with LBP shown to diners, at a rate and a rounding step you set. While that is on, online card payment pauses by design, because the gateway would otherwise be handed an amount you do not settle in. Cash, transfer and WhatsApp orders carry on as normal.
- Delivery areas
- Pick your delivery areas from a ready list of about 2,000 towns, villages and neighbourhoods in Lebanon and about 15,000 in Iraq, each already drawn on the map, with a fee and a minimum per zone. Plus.
- Languages
- Arabic with full native RTL, English and French. Publishing the menu in Arabic is free; offering diners a language switcher, with AI translation across 21 languages, is Plus.
- Where the menu lives
- ala.menu/yourname on Free and Plus. Your own domain is Pro.
- Price
- Plus $49 a location a month, Pro $99, Free to start; 0% commission on every plan.
Lebanon, answered
How much does Toters take?
Toters does not publish a merchant rate card, and we will not print a number we cannot source. Regional press reports 15 to 30% of order value for delivery aggregators in this region. Your own rate is on your statement. An order that comes through your own menu costs 0%, on every plan.
Can I take Whish and OMT?
Yes. A Whish, OMT or bank transfer the diner sends and you confirm, on Plus; a manual transfer never marks the order paid on its own. Whish Pay also works as a live online gateway in USD and LBP. On WhatsApp orders, the message carries the account you add so the diner knows where to send the money.
Can diners pay by card?
Yes, on Plus, through your own account: CyberSource with NetCommerce or any bank, or Areeba’s Mastercard gateway. The money goes from the gateway to you and never passes through us. Plenty of restaurants run on cash and a Whish or OMT transfer instead, and that is fine too.
Do prices show in lira?
Yes. Keep your prices in dollars and show diners lira at a rate and rounding step you set, while your dashboard and reports stay in dollars. Online card payment pauses while that setting is on, because the gateway would otherwise be handed an amount you do not settle in. Cash, manual transfer and WhatsApp orders keep working.
Is the Arabic real Arabic?
Yes. The menu renders right to left natively with a loaded Arabic webfont, not a mirrored English layout. You can publish the menu in Arabic on the free plan. Offering diners a switcher between languages, with AI translation into 21 languages, is on Plus.
Can I keep Toters and use this too?
Yes, and most restaurants should at first. The app is how a stranger finds you. Your own menu is how the second order arrives: the QR on the table, the link in your bio, the customer who already knows your name. That order costs 0% and the customer’s number stays in your list.
Does Talabat work in Lebanon?
No. talabat.com/lebanon returned a 404 when we checked it on 2026-07-26. Toters is the aggregator operating here at scale.
How fast can I be live?
Send a PDF, photos or a text and the AI builds the menu in minutes, on the free plan. Add your WhatsApp number and orders can start the same day; the link goes in your bio and the QR on the tables.
What does it cost?
The menu, your Page, the QR and WhatsApp ordering are free, with no card and no trial period. Website ordering with delivery zones, Whish Pay and cards, the customer list and promo codes are Plus; a custom domain and the loyalty card are Pro. Plus is $49 a location a month and Pro $99. 0% commission on every plan.
