Key takeaways
- Flipdish lists a point of sale and ordering bundle from €99 a month per site billed annually, with kiosks, kitchen display and marketing as quote only add ons.
- Its pricing page does not state transaction fees or contract terms, so ask for both in writing before comparing.
- Alternatives differ in what they bundle: Slerp focuses on direct ordering with couriers, Square starts free, Owner.com bundles marketing, DineHarbor bundles till and kitchen.
- Compare total cost at your order volume, not the starting price.
In short: Flipdish is a broad direct ordering and POS platform for restaurants. If its price, fees or terms are not clear enough for you, there are several alternatives. We read each vendor's page in October 2026 and say where pages left gaps.
What Flipdish publishes
Flipdish's pricing page lists one bundle: POS plus online ordering, a branded website, integrated payments, menu management and reporting, from €99 a month per site billed annually or €129 billed monthly. Kiosks, kitchen display, managed marketing and Uber Direct delivery are add ons priced by quote. It does not state transaction fee rates, setup fees or contract length. Read our Flipdish comparison.

Slerp
Slerp is a UK direct ordering specialist with a branded app, loyalty, catering and links to couriers. It says its plans have 0% commission but we could not read a price. It suits a restaurant whose main need is direct ordering with automated courier booking.
Square
Square lets you start free and price kitchen screens and kiosks per device. It is a good test of whether you need a bundle at all, and its card rates are published. See cheaper alternatives to Square for the other direction.
Owner.com
Owner.com sells a marketing led package. On Flex you pay $249 a month plus a 5% restaurant fee per order, and guests pay a 5% support fee. On the flat plan you pay $499 a month with no restaurant fee. It says plans are month to month with no cancellation fee. It is aimed at high volume online sales and shows dollars, so check UK availability.
TouchBistro
TouchBistro sells a full POS with online ordering and kitchen display as quote only add ons, and says there is no commission on online orders. The page does not name its currency or country, so confirm a UK offer.
DineHarbor
DineHarbor includes online ordering with no commission in every plan, with the till, kitchen screens, waiter phones and QR table ordering. Growth (£129 a month) adds self order kiosks and driver apps. It has AI voice ordering on the website and kiosk. It does not answer phone calls, does not connect to courier networks or delivery apps and has no iPhone app in the App Store yet.
