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.
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.
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.
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.
