I learn Japanese by watching 深夜食堂 myself. In the introduction of an episode,
the main character says "あとはかってにちゅうもんしてくれりゃ".

I am able to figure out the meaning of the whole sentence by watching
translated subtitle. However, I have no idea when and how to use the phrase
"してくれりゃ".

So, what is the modality when you use "してくれりゃ"? How to use it correctly ?

meaning colloquial-language contractions
How to interpret "あとはかってにちゅうもんしてくれりゃ"?
くれ **りゃ** is a colloquial, contracted pronunciation of くれ **れば**.

For this kind of contraction, see this thread:

  * [What is the meaning of りゃ in this phrase?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/12524/9831)

注文してくれれば breaks down to...

> 注文して -- "order", the て-form of the する-verb 「注文する」  
>  くれれば* -- "if you do ~~ (for me)", the conditional form of the subsidiary
> verb 「くれる」  
>  (*ば is a conjunctive particle)

For more on the subsidiary verb くれる:

  * [Differences between くれます, もらいます and いただきます](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/260/9831)

So the sentence literally means:

> あとは、[勝手]{かって}に[注文]{ちゅうもん}してくれりゃ、～～  
>  "Other than that, if you order as you like, then~~"

* * *

This contraction (eba→ya) might sound a bit masculine/rough. A few examples...

> 「そうならそうと、最初から言って **くれりゃ** いいじゃねえか。」  
>  「払うもん払って **くれりゃ** 、もう用はねえよ。」
