No subscriptions. No upfront fees. No surprises.
Flash Order is free to run.
Flash Order is funded entirely by a small transaction fee added to each customer order at checkout — not deducted from your revenue. The fee is paid by the customer, not you. That means every dollar of food you sell stays yours. No monthly bills. No setup costs. No percentage of your revenue going to a software company.
Every feature, every channel, every update — included in the same plan everyone gets.
What's the catch?
There isn't one. Flash Order is genuinely free for food truck operators. We make money from the small transaction fee customers pay at checkout — not from you. If you're not selling, we're not earning, so we're motivated to help you run a better operation.
How much is the customer fee?
A flat 35¢ is added to each customer order at the time of checkout. It's clearly disclosed to customers before they complete their order. Most customers don't notice — or don't mind — because the convenience of ordering ahead is worth it to them.
Are there any hidden costs?
No. No monthly subscription, no setup fee, no hardware requirement, no per-seat charges, no contract. You pay nothing to run Flash Order — full stop. Square's standard payment processing rates apply separately, as they would with any Square-connected system.
Do I need new hardware?
No. Flash Order runs on the devices you already own — phones, tablets, and any screen with a browser. If you want to run a kiosk, a standard iPad on a stand works great. No proprietary hardware, no locked-in equipment purchases.
