Ohlala gives local businesses their own mini-app where customers can discover their business, explore what they offer, access deals and rewards, place orders, make bookings, and stay connected—all in one place.
A mini-app is your business’s own space inside Ohlala. It gives customers a dedicated place to discover your business, explore what you offer, and use the features you choose to make available—without your business needing to build and maintain a separate app.
No. Ohlala is designed so local businesses can build and manage their mini-app from one dashboard without hiring a developer or building an app from scratch.
No. Your business lives inside Ohlala as its own mini-app, giving customers an app-like experience without requiring you to develop and maintain a separate mobile app.
Yes. The Ohlala Business Dashboard gives you one place to manage your business information and the features available in your mini-app, so you can make updates without relying on a developer every time something changes.
Depending on the features available to your business, your mini-app can bring together products and services, deals, rewards, ordering, bookings, business information, and other ways for customers to interact with you.
No. Ohlala does not take a percentage of every order. Ohlala is designed around simple subscription pricing rather than taking a commission from each transaction.
Customers can discover participating businesses through Ohlala and open each business’s mini-app to learn more, explore what is available, and interact with the features offered by that business.
Ohlala is not intended to replace every channel your business uses. Social media can still be useful for reaching and engaging an audience, while Ohlala gives customers a dedicated place to interact with your business and access the experiences you make available through your mini-app.
Ohlala is designed to make setup quick and straightforward. You can start building your mini-app through the Business Dashboard without going through a traditional app-development process.
No. Ohlala is being designed for different kinds of local businesses, including restaurants, cafés, fitness businesses, beauty and wellness businesses, retail stores, service businesses, bakeries, automotive businesses, and more.
Where ordering is available, customers can place an order through a participating business’s mini-app.
For pay-at-pickup orders, payment is completed directly with the business when the customer picks up the order.
An order confirmation, order number, pickup code, or QR code does not by itself mean that payment has been completed.
Where booking features are available, businesses can use their mini-app to give customers a convenient way to make or manage bookings.
Where these features are available, businesses can use their mini-app to offer deals and rewards that give customers more reasons to return and stay connected.
Ohlala is currently in its pilot stage in Alberta, Canada. We are working with local businesses as we test and improve the experience before expanding more broadly.
