Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
Slice gives independent pizzerias easy access to the digital tools needed to run a successful business, from bespoke websites with online ordering capabilities to digital marketing and SEO services, all with 24/7 support at hand. According to Slice, pizzerias that use its services can expect a 40% increase in their online order value and a 50% increase in repeat customers.
The market for online food ordering is huge, with large competitors like Grubhub, Deliveroo, and Uber Eats controlling most of the market share. To differentiate itself, Slice has honed in on the popularity of pizza, and also provides extra services to its client restaurants that can help them compete with successful chains. It also charges a flat subscription fee, in comparison to the high commission rates charged by most delivery platforms.
Slice works with over 19,000 independent pizzerias across all 50 US states. It has recently hired new members of its executive team and was featured in Crunchbase's SMB Tech 50, a testament to its growth and popularity so far. It is the US's largest pizza network, nearly triple the footprint of Domino's, and it hopes to continue this upward growth in the coming years.
