What Is Lekro?
What Lekro gives a restaurant: a public website, a digital menu, online ordering, reservations, and one dashboard that runs all of it.
Dashboard and mobile app
Lekro gives your restaurant a public website and a digital menu, then adds the tools that run everything around them: orders, table bookings, reviews, photos, and the messages customers send you. One login, one dashboard, and a site that updates the moment you save a change.
This article is a map of what’s included and where each piece is documented. If you’d rather start building, go straight to setting up your restaurant.
What your customers see
Your public site lives at your Lekro address, or at your own domain if you connect one. It contains whichever pages you switch on:
- A digital menu with photos, descriptions, prices, and options like sizes and extras. Customers reach it by scanning a QR code at the table or opening your link.
- Online ordering for pickup, dine-in, and delivery. You choose which of the three you actually offer, and delivery can carry its own fee.
- Reservations, so people book a table without phoning you.
- Reviews and star ratings, which you can hold for approval before they appear.
- A photo gallery, with the option to let guests add their own shots.
- A contact page with a map and your details, plus an optional floating WhatsApp button.
- Team and Our Story pages, if you want to introduce the people and the history behind the place.
Only the menu is on by default. You pick the rest during setup and can change your mind at any time from Pages & Features.
There’s also a waiter call button customers can tap from the table, which alerts your staff in the dashboard.
What you manage from the dashboard
The left sidebar groups everything by job:
| Group | What’s inside |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Your traffic, popular items, and recent activity at a glance |
| Operations | Incoming Orders, Reservations, Waiter Calls, and Events where it’s enabled |
| Menu | Menu Editor, Modifiers & Add-ons, Menu Configuration, Import / Export |
| Content Manager | Photo Gallery, Team Profiles |
| Community | Customers, Customer Reviews, Contact Inbox, Moderation |
| Marketing | Online Presence (SEO), Email Marketing, Subscriber List |
| Website | Design, Pages & Features, QR Studio, Domain |
| Settings | Business Profile, Staff & Roles, Subscription & Billing |
Menu work is where most owners spend their time. Besides typing dishes in by hand, you can extract a whole menu from a photo of your printed one, pull food photos from a stock library, or have descriptions drafted for you.
Arabic is not an afterthought
Lekro is built for restaurants that operate in Arabic as a first language, not as a translation layer bolted on afterwards.
- Your menu and site can be published in nine languages: English, Arabic, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Chinese.
- Add a second language and every category and dish gets its own field for it, so nothing is machine-mangled unless you ask. You can also auto-translate the whole menu and edit the results.
- The dashboard itself runs in English or Arabic, switchable at any time, and the layout flips to right-to-left properly rather than mirroring awkwardly.
- Currencies, timezones, and tax settings are per-restaurant, so prices read the way your customers expect.
More than one location
One account can hold up to five restaurants. Each keeps its own menu, website, settings, and staff, and you switch between them from the top of the dashboard. Adding another restaurant runs the same short setup wizard you saw the first time.
Staff get a narrower view
You can invite staff without handing over your account. Someone signed in as a waiter sees a stripped-down sidebar (waiter calls, reservations, and orders) and nothing else. Your menu, billing, and settings stay yours. How many staff accounts you get depends on your plan.
Your site is always live
There is no publish button anywhere in Lekro. Edit a price, upload a photo, switch a page on, and it’s live as soon as you save. The one thing worth knowing is that changes can take up to about a minute to appear for visitors, which how your website updates explains.
What it costs
Lekro has a free plan and paid tiers. The limits that show up soonest are how many pages your public site can have and how many staff accounts you can create: the free plan allows two pages, and paid plans raise both. Understanding subscription plans has the full comparison.
