Manna claims to offer swift and green suburban services and has performed more than 200,000 deliveries.
Flipdish’s platform provides a suite of tools including online ordering systems, point of sale (POS), digital kiosk interfaces and website and app creation.
It also encompasses features such as employee scheduling, menu organisation, kitchen display systems and delivery personnel monitoring.
In July 2025, Flipdish revealed a portable handheld POS that integrates order-taking, payment processing and loyalty programmes into a single unit.
This tech is intended for use in fast-paced food service environments, including quick service and casual dining restaurants, food trucks and other busy venues.
The POS aims to cut waiting times by enabling staff to process orders and payments on the spot — whether in queues, at tables, or outdoors.
In June 2025, Deliveroo, in partnership with Manna Drones, introduced a drone food delivery service in Dublin, Ireland.
