Why restaurants switch

Hardware is extra

Flipdish sells kiosks and payment terminals as extra hardware. Spatula needs none: the merchant app runs on Android phones, tablets and Sunmi terminals, and prints to the receipt printers you already have.

Commission pricing option

Flipdish offers a commission-based pricing model as an alternative to flat-rate. With commission, the fee grows with every order you sell. Spatula never charges commission.

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.
