Branded website + own-label app, flat monthly fee instead of per-order commission, and it's genuinely built for the chip-shop/pizza/curry-house end of the market rather than retrofitted from US casual dining. Downside: it's an all-in-one built around *its own* POS, so it tends to replace your till rather than sit alongside it.\n2. **OrderYoyo** - closest competitor to Flipdish and often the better pick if you want the marketing done *for* you. They run the Google ads, flyers and push campaigns to drive orders to your app, not just hand you the software. Subscription-based, starts around the $38/month mark per their listing.\n3. **Slerp** - best if you already have a POS you like, since it integrates with it rather than replacing it.
