Flipdish Alternative
The all-in-one Flipdish alternative
Flipdish is lower-fee than the marketplaces, but you still pay per-order service fees, share data as a joint controller and sign a 12-month deal. RestApp is genuinely 0% commission.
The catch with Flipdish
Cheaper than the marketplaces, but not truly 0%, and not truly your data
Flipdish is a real upgrade on 30%-commission aggregators, but it is not commission-free in the way it sounds: its model is "pay for the technology plus a percentage of orders processed," so a per-order service fee (widely reported around 7%, scaled by volume, plus card processing of roughly 2.5%) still comes off the top of every online order. Native branded iOS/Android apps sit on the top tier (about $249/month), and Flipdish typically locks you into a 12-month contract with auto-renewal, a three-month cancellation notice, and early-termination compensation. Crucially, Flipdish operates as a joint data controller, so restaurants do not have full, independent ownership of their customer data the way "you own your customers" marketing implies.
Flipdish pricing
Flipdish markets itself as commission-free versus delivery marketplaces, but it runs a performance-based model, a per-order service fee (commonly reported around 7%, scaled by volume, plus a small fixed per-order charge in some markets) plus roughly 2.5% card processing on top of monthly software plans that run about $99/month for kiosk, $149/month for a branded ordering website, and $249/month to add native iOS/Android apps (lower when billed annually; prices vary by market).

Questions & Answers
Is Flipdish actually commission-free, or are there per-order fees? +
Flipdish is commission-free compared to delivery marketplaces like Just Eat, Deliveroo or Uber Eats, which take roughly 14-30% per order. But it is not free per order: Flipdish uses a performance-based model where you pay for the software plus a percentage of orders processed, a per-order service fee that is commonly reported around 7% (scaled by volume, with a small fixed per-order charge in some markets) plus card processing of about 2.5%. These rates vary by market and plan and aren't fully published, so you have to get a quote. RestApp charges a genuine 0% commission on orders through your own site and apps, with a simple monthly plan and no per-order service fee.
How much does Flipdish cost per month, and is there a contract? +
Flipdish's US plans run roughly $99/month for kiosk software, $149/month for a branded ordering website, and $249/month to add native iOS and Android apps, with lower prices when billed annually (prices vary by country). On top of that you pay per-order service and processing fees. It typically requires a 12-month minimum contract with automatic renewal, a three-month cancellation notice, and early-termination compensation based on your recent average fees. RestApp uses simple monthly plans that bundle online ordering, EPOS, e-menu, loyalty and your branded apps together, with no per-order commission.
Do I really own my customer data with Flipdish? +
Not fully. Flipdish gives you far more access than a marketplace, and you can market to your diners, but it operates as a joint data controller, which means the restaurant does not have full, independent ownership of its customer data. With RestApp, orders come through your own branded website and native apps, and you own your customer data and the direct relationship outright, so you can remarket to diners freely without a platform sitting in the middle.
Does Flipdish include native branded apps and a full EPOS like RestApp? +
Flipdish does offer native branded iOS/Android apps, a built-in POS (and integrations with 15+ third-party POS systems), self-service kiosks, KDS and loyalty, but the native apps are on its top tier (around $249/month per site), and per-order service fees apply across the board. RestApp bundles your branded website plus native iOS and Android apps, a full cloud EPOS, e-menu/QR table ordering, loyalty, KDS, inventory and 24/7 support into one simple monthly plan at 0% commission, so the all-in cost is predictable and your loyal, repeat orders don't carry a per-order fee.
