Flipdish Phone Marketing Overview
Updated over 4 months ago

Flipdish Phone Marketing (FPM) is anautomated phone marketing system that we offer to help you redirect customers, who called your restaurant to visit your online ordering channels take orders and use that to make their orders.

FPM allows you to optimise the ordering process and saves you time by not needing to take all orders from the phone. It also helps you promote your brand better by encouraging customers to visit your website and/or download your branded mobile app.

How does FPM work?

Flipdish creates a new telephone number (VOIP) and assigns it to your online store. Once activated, when a customer calls your store, they will hear a voice message saying that they can make orders from you online, and allowing them to choose from one of the following options:

  1. Receive an SMS with a link to visit your website or download your mobile app.

  2. Be put through to the restaurant, which will redirect customer calls to your restaurant.

The system is built to be smart and will not play the message, or send the text message if the caller has used the app/website, or called the store, in the last 4 days (please keep this in mind when testing).

What are the benefits of using FPM?

  • Saves you time by redirecting phone-calling customers to your online channels

  • Increases your online orders = make more money for your business - based on our data, online orders can increase average order value by 4x!

  • Increase your brand awareness and customer loyalty and retention by promoting your website and mobile apps
