Flipforservice.
A warm, cordless table light your guests flip to red when they want something. No waving, no waiting.
Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 120+ restaurants, bars and hotels
Guests wave, stare and give up on dessert. Waiters do laps checking tables that don't need them. FlipLight gives every table a quiet way to say “we're ready”, and gives your team the signal to act on it.
How it works
No app, no buttons, no training. If your guests can turn over a glass, they can use FlipLight.

The research
Peer-reviewed research on service speed and waiting in restaurants. These studies looked at related service technology and waiting times, not FlipLight itself. Your results will depend on your venue.
+11%
sales per minute
In a study of 66 restaurants and 2.6M checks, table-side service technology shortened meals by about 10% and raised sales per minute by about 11%.
Tan & Netessine, Management Science, 2020~15%
revenue lost to waiting
Analysing 94,404 guests, researchers linked longer waits to guests walking away and returning less often. Simulated revenue rose by nearly 15% without the wait.
De Vries, Roy & De Koster, J. of Operations Management, 2018Fast
bill, relaxed meal
Guests don't want their meal rushed, but they do appreciate speed when it's time to settle the bill. Service on request gives them both.
Noone, Kimes, Mattila & Wirtz, Cornell HRA Quarterly, 2007On cue
not interruptions
Frequent check-backs that please some guests make others uncomfortable. Letting guests call when they're ready avoids unwanted interruptions.
Lee, Int. J. of Hospitality Management, 2015When guests can call you the moment they want something, they order more of it. Move the sliders to match your venue.
For reference: a Wharton study of table-side service technology measured about 11% more sales per minute, mostly from faster service and shorter waits. Your results will vary. Be conservative.

“Paid for itself in the first week”
Guests order another bottle without hunting for a waiter. Our average check went up and the room feels calmer.
“I stopped doing laps”
I see red, I go. No more checking tables that don't need me. Friday nights are so much less chaotic.
“Looks like it belongs here”
We run them in amber most of the night. Guests think they're just nice lamps until they flip them.
“Great on the terrace”
Battery easily lasts the whole evening outside. The charging station keeps the back bar tidy.
“Guests love the little ritual”
It's become part of the experience. Engraved with our logo, they look like a custom piece.
“Setup took ten minutes”
Unbox, charge, place on tables. The station sets brightness and colour for all of them at once.
€50 off your first bundle. Plus the Table Revenue Playbook.
8 tactics top restaurants use to sell more drinks, desserts and second rounds without adding staff, plus a 30-day pilot scorecard.

- How does it work?
- Upright, FlipLight is a warm table light. When a guest wants service they flip it over and it turns red. Your staff see it from across the room. Flip it back, and it's mood light again.
- How long does the battery last?
- 6 to 8 hours per charge: a full evening service. Recharging on the magnetic station takes 4 to 6 hours, so if you run lunch and dinner, top up in between.
- Can I set the colour and brightness?
- Yes. Place the lights on the station and choose from 4 brightness levels, 7 ambient colours, and solid or pulsing red for call mode. Settings apply to every light on the station.
- Can you engrave our logo?
- Yes, on orders of 25 lights or more, and it's included free. We send a digital proof before production.
- Which countries do you ship to?
- Germany, Italy, France, Spain and the Netherlands, , delivered in ${DELIVERY.express} (express) or ${DELIVERY.standard} (standard) with duties included. More countries soon. You get a proper VAT invoice (reverse charge for VAT-registered businesses).
- What if it doesn't work for my venue?
- Try it risk-free for 30 days. If your team doesn't love it, send it back for a full refund. Every light has a 2-year warranty.
