Menuthere vs Flipdish
Flipdish costs from £49 or €49 a month per site billed annually, or £119 or €119 with its POS, on a 12-month contract that renews automatically, and it takes its own fees on each order at a rate it doesn't publish. Menuthere is free to start, Lite is US$17 a month and Pro US$39 a month, with 0% commission and no contract. Flipdish puts more in one box: a POS, kiosks, a branded app and links to delivery apps.

Where each one wins
Flipdish and Menuthere both give a restaurant its own ordering website, with no marketplace in between. They differ on price, on contract, on per-order fees, and on how much hardware and integration comes with it.
Where Flipdish wins
- One supplier for the till and online: the £119 or €119 package includes Flipdish POS, caller ID, CRM, payroll and staff management. Menuthere's POS add-on (US$10 a month) is basic.
- A branded mobile app from £79 or €79 a month on Website & Mobile App. On Menuthere, your own app is the Branded App plan at US$99 a month.
- Self-service kiosks (from £59 or €59, hardware extra) and a kitchen display screen add-on. Menuthere has neither.
- Orders can go into Toast, Square, Clover, Lightspeed, Epos Now and other POS systems, and Just Eat and Uber Eats orders can be managed in one system. Menuthere doesn't connect to outside POS systems or delivery apps.
- Marketing tools: automated SMS, email and push campaigns, and a managed marketing team that runs Google Ads and SMS for you. Menuthere has no email or SMS marketing automation.
Where Menuthere wins
- Price: Lite is US$17 a month. Flipdish's cheapest plan is £49 or €49 a month per site billed annually (£69 or €69 billed monthly), before its fees per order.
- 0% commission and no per-order fee from Menuthere. Flipdish takes its own fees on each order and doesn't publish the rate.
- No contract. Flipdish's terms set 12 months that renew automatically, 3 months' written notice, and an exit fee of your average monthly fees for each month left.
- Card payments go into your own Stripe account, at Stripe's published rate (1.5% + 20p for standard UK cards). Flipdish handles all card processing, and you can't bring your own processor.
- Start today with no sales call and no card: the Free plan takes 50 orders a month, with QR table ordering included. On Flipdish, QR order and pay is a paid add-on.
Moving from Flipdish to Menuthere
Check your notice date
Flipdish's standard terms renew for 12 months unless you give written notice at least 3 months before the end of the term. Check your own agreement, as it can set different terms.
Import your menu and set up payments
Upload a photo or PDF of your menu and Menuthere's AI import builds it, with sizes, add-ons and the 14 allergens you can check and edit. On Lite, connect your own Stripe account and draw delivery zones on a map.
Move your links
Point your domain to Menuthere, update your Google Business Profile and print new QR codes. Print kitchen tickets on a thermal printer, and use Uber Direct on your own account if you need drivers.
The bottom line
Pick Flipdish if you want the till, website, branded app and kiosks from one supplier, run several sites, or need orders to flow into another POS or in from Just Eat and Uber Eats. Expect a 12-month contract, a set-up fee, and Flipdish fees per order on top of the monthly price, so ask sales for every rate in writing.
Pick Menuthere if you want your own ordering website and QR table ordering at a low fixed price with no contract. A year of Flipdish's cheapest UK plan costs £588 before fees per order; Menuthere Lite costs US$170 a year with 0% commission. Pro adds WhatsApp ordering and loyalty for US$39 a month, and the Branded App plan is US$99 a month.
Menuthere doesn't have kiosks, a kitchen display screen, delivery-app or outside POS integrations, or email and SMS marketing, and it bills in US dollars. If you rely on those, Flipdish or another system on our Flipdish alternatives list will fit better.
