Why restaurants switch

Hardware reliability issues

Flipdish's kiosks and payment terminals are plagued with connectivity issues and extended downtime. When your hardware goes down during service, so does your revenue.

Commission pricing option

Flipdish offers a commission-based pricing model as an alternative to flat-rate. It sounds easy but gets expensive fast, the more you sell, the more you pay.

European focus, limited elsewhere

Flipdish is built for the UK, Ireland, and European markets. EUR pricing, European payment methods, and support that doesn't align with Australian business hours.

Costs stack up with add-ons

Website, app, POS, kiosks, and terminals are all separate line items. A full-featured setup with hardware can cost significantly more than the base subscription.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need special hardware with Spatula?
No. Spatula's merchant app is a PWA that works on any phone, tablet, or Sunmi terminal you already own. No proprietary kiosks or terminals to buy, maintain, or troubleshoot.

Never. Spatula is flat-rate only. No commission model, no per-order fees, no percentage of your revenue. Your success doesn't cost you more.
How does Flipdish compare on pricing?
Flipdish starts at €49/mo for basic ordering, but a full setup with app, POS, and hardware can cost €200+/mo plus potential commission. Spatula is $99 AUD/mo flat — no commission, no per-order fees, no hardware costs. Includes everything most stores need from day one.
