Flipdish
Branded ordering websites, apps and self service kiosks for takeaways and restaurant groups in Europe
As of 31 August 2026, Flipdish's pricing is not published; the vendor quotes on request. Direct ordering software from Ireland, strongest with takeaways in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Softwr lists it under Restaurants. Flipdish is available on Web, iOS, Android.
Overview
What Flipdish does
Flipdish builds branded ordering websites and mobile apps, self service kiosks, and the supporting marketing and customer data tools for takeaways, restaurant groups and franchises. Orders flow into a tablet, a printer or an integrated point of sale, and the same platform handles loyalty, vouchers and campaigns to the customer list a venue builds through it. The fact that changes the evaluation is the revenue model. Flipdish is positioned against Just Eat and Deliveroo on commission, but it typically charges a percentage of order value on its own channels rather than a flat subscription. That is far below marketplace rates and it is still a variable cost that scales with your success, so the comparison a buyer needs is Flipdish percentage against a flat fee competitor at their actual monthly order volume, not against the marketplace rate. Buyers are single site takeaways through to multi country franchise groups, concentrated in Ireland, the United Kingdom and continental Europe. The trade off is scale and focus. The company reached a one billion dollar plus valuation in 2021 and then cut headcount substantially during the following downturn, narrowing its geographic and product ambitions; buyers outside its core European markets get thinner integration coverage and support.
What people use it for
- An Irish or British takeaway trying to move repeat customers off Just Eat and onto its own app
- A franchise group that needs one ordering platform across several European countries
- A quick service site adding kiosks to cut counter queues without changing its ordering stack
- An operator with its own drivers who needs dispatch and customer tracking without a fleet contract

The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Flipdish.
- Most plans take a percentage of order value, so the cost rises with volume and a busy site can end up paying more than a flat fee competitor would charge.
- Commission free refers to the marketplaces, not to Flipdish itself, and the wording in its marketing has caused genuine confusion at renewal time.
- The company cut staff heavily after its 2021 peak valuation and narrowed its focus, so buyers outside Ireland, the United Kingdom and core European markets get less support and fewer local integrations.
- Kiosks require hardware purchase and physical installation per site, a capital cost that sits outside the software quote and does not scale down for small premises.
- You still fund the discounting and advertising that moves customers away from the marketplaces, and none of that appears in the platform cost comparison.

Questions people ask
Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
Is Flipdish actually commission free?
No. It charges much less than a delivery marketplace, but most plans take a percentage of the order value it processes. Ask for the rate at your order volume.
Does it replace Just Eat or Deliveroo?
It provides a direct channel alongside them. Most venues keep the marketplaces for discovery and use Flipdish for repeat customers.
Does it work with my point of sale?
It integrates with a number of systems and, where it does not, orders can be printed or worked on a tablet.
Which countries is it strongest in?
Ireland and the United Kingdom, with meaningful coverage across continental Europe.
