When Flipdish may fit

Flipdish may fit a venue whose main channel is online ordering for collection and delivery, especially one that wants its own branded app, self-service kiosks or a POS from the same supplier.

Chains and franchises may also value its centralised menu management across sites.

When Café QR may fit

Café QR may fit an independent café, pub or restaurant whose main need is ordering at the table or counter. Table and counter ordering, the kitchen screen, printers and an opt-in customer list are all in the £9.99 Order & Pay plan. Order & Pay + Delivery (£14.99) adds collection and delivery with your own riders, and the £39 POS plan adds a till.

The café connects its own Stripe account and remains the merchant. Café QR does not hold guest funds and adds a 0% platform fee.

Questions to ask Flipdish

Ask for the price of the QR code ordering add-on on the plan you would use, the card processing rate, any contract term, and any hardware or implementation cost for your venue.

Flipdish's plans are billed per site, so a group should ask for the full cost across all of its sites.
