Slice

There seems to be a slight misunderstanding of what exactly Slice does, so we want to clear the air: A lot of people think we're a pizza delivery app. While it is true that you can use the Slice app to get your favorite pizza delivered to your door, that's not exactly what we do. Other people think we're an online ordering platform. And while we do power online ordering, Slice online ordering is significantly more powerful than anything else currently available (but more on that in a second). And now that Slice Register is available to all shops, some people think we're a POS system. While not incorrect, it's not the full picture. The truth is, we're all of the above (and more). But our secret sauce is really that we're an automated CRM for shops that handle a lot of to-go orders (pizza or not). Every online order is a valuable data point that Slice then leverages on behalf of that specific shop. Data helps shops better understand who their best customers are, what promos they need to offer, and automatically markets to their current customers via email, push notifications, and SMS. All nudging customers to REORDER FROM THEIR SHOP. Slice prioritizes re-ordering from the shops people already know and love, making it less expensive (for both shops and consumers). When a shop doesn't own their customer data, they have no ability to market to them. Because we know that collecting data is essential to a shop's success, we've created a best-in-class online ordering platform. But what does this actually mean? First, Slice will build and manage a shop's website for free. Because we're online ordering experts, we know how to design websites that result in more conversions and bigger orders. We see too many shops with websites that are not optimized for online ordering. This means when a high-intent customer visits their website, they either: 1) Leave without ordering. 2) Call the shop during their busiest time and place a smaller order. 3) Order through a delivery app instead. A great website both increases sales and decreases work. But not every shop wants to give up their website. That's why we've also built the "Slice Smart Ordering Button". This button works with any current website and is designed so that no matter where you are on a shop's website, you're only ever one-click away from starting an online order. And of course we have the Slice app (shameless plug to DL the app and use code SLICEX for $5 off your first order). The Slice app is optimized for easy re-orders, allowing customers to auto-populate their most frequent orders from their favorite shops. So yes, Slice is an Online Ordering platform, but it's much more powerful than any other solution available. This technology is standard for big chains like Dominos, Chipotle, etc. But no one was building this for small, independent "mom and pop" shops. Until now. So order local! Support small shops! And send any independent shops our way!

This story is why Slice exists. Pizza shop owners are burnt out. They feel alone. And they don't have the time or energy to keep up with ever changing consumer ordering habits. Slice makes a pizza shop owner's life easier. Slice is like hiring a full time marketer, a customer support team, and someone to answer calls and take to-go orders. All for a fraction of the cost of the 3rd party delivery apps. Slice helps shops be in business for themselves, not by themselves.

We ran out of these Slice shirts. Should we make more?

We love pizza. LOVE IT! But you don't have to only order pizza on Slice. Just saying...

The reason big pizza chains have more sales isn't because they have better pizza, it's because they have better technology. Slice levels the playing field.

The average shop owner receives orders in 4 different ways: 📞Phone 🚶Walk-in 🖥️ Website 🚗 Delivery app But these orders are NOT created equal. Here’s the average value of each order: Phone: $21 Walk-in: $17 Website: $42 Delivery app: $42 Quite literally, digital orders are worth 2x to shop owners. And our digital (re)ordering system automatically markets to a shop’s customers on behalf of the shop (as opposed to pushing them to their competitors), increasing re-orders 50%. All while charging a small flat per order fee instead of the extortionary 30%. This results in an ADDITIONAL $6,921 EVERY MONTH for shops that do 2k Slice orders per month. And more money for pizza shops means less fees for pizza eaters. We call this a delicious win/win. So next time you order from your favorite shop, use the Slice app. Your favorite local shop — and bank account — will thank you.

On their own, it’s difficult for the small “mom and pop” shops to compete against the “big guys”. But combined, they’re larger than the big 4 pizza chains combined. This is why Slice exists: To help independent shops be in business for themselves, but not by themselves.

Most shops don't need more customers. Most shops need more loyal customers. This is because one single loyal customer who orders 12 times a year is more valuable than 10 new customers who only order once. But more loyal customers requires seamless online ordering, automated marketing, responsive customer service, loyalty reward programs, menu optimization for timely upsells, and of course... great food. Which is why Slice handles all of the above (except for the great food part) at a fraction of the cost of those 3rd party delivery apps. See, Slice isn't a costly marketplace. Nor is it another tool that shop owners have to learn how to use. Slice is a one-of-a-kind online (re)ordering system that just works. On a shop's behalf. Automatically. The most successful shops push as many orders as possible through Slice ("Next time you order, please use the Slice app"). This is because they know their customers will have a flawless ordering experience, that Slice will re-engage their customers on their behalf, and that our customer success team will respond within seconds (15 seconds on average) if there's ever an issue with an order. Our mission is to "Keep Local Thriving", and we do that by arming shops with all the resources and technological advantages that the big pizza chains have. So if you're a shop owner, sign up for Slice now (no contracts, free to start). And if you're a pizza lover, order your next pizza on Slice. Your favorite shop will thank you.
