Slice charges $3.00 on every online order over $10 — its own pricing page says so. At 600 orders a month that is $1,800 a month, $21,600 a year and $64,800 over three years: about 4,320 pies of margin at $15 a pie, handed over for the use of a button. ShopLaunch builds the page, the menu with a price for every size, and the QR sticker that goes on the box lid — once. No subscription, no per-order fee, no checkout of ours between you and the phone.
All three also take card processing on every payment, and none of them removes it. The line this page is about is the one that grows when the shop has a good Friday. The three-year math →
If you are looking for a Slice alternative for a pizzeria, the honest split is this: Slice is a working ordering system, and it brings the Slice app and the Google listing with it. What it also brings is a fee on every order, including the ones from the family that has phoned you every Friday since 2011. That is the line this page is about, and the three-year total is where it shows. For the pair itself — the toast for the kitchen, the phone for the app — Toast vs Slice over three years prices both, and the $75,241 that running them together costs.

Three years at 600 orders a month — 21,600 orders — at each vendor's own November 2026 price, before tax and before card processing. Slice's monthly figure for Complete Growth averages in the $1,000 implementation fee. The DoorDash Plus bar assumes every one of the 600 orders came through the app at 25%, which no shop should plan on: it is there to show what a marketplace commission is per order, not what a shop pays. Toast's kit is included at the price its starter-kit checkout lists; the handheld figure is the one reported for August 2026, since Toast does not publish a standalone price.
A pizzeria's economics are simple enough to hold in your head: a $25 pie leaves roughly $15 after the dough, the cheese and the toppings. That $15 is what pays the rent, the oven's gas and the person stretching the dough. So the per-order fee is not a percentage of something abstract — it is a number of pies:
A $25 average ticket and $15 left after food is an assumption, not a published figure — a plain pie is cheaper to make than a clam pie, and a shop with its own dough recipe does better than one buying in. Put your own numbers in and the shape holds: the fee is charged per order, so it grows with the thing you want to grow. Card processing is left out of both sides because it is paid either way.
On a $25 delivery order, DoorDash's Plus plan takes $6.25 — twice Slice's $3.00 — and Basic takes 15% while Premier takes 30%. Pickup through the app is 6%. At 600 app orders a month that is $3,750, $45,000 a year. None of it is hidden; it is just called commission rather than a fee, and it is the reason a shop with a full dining room can still lose money on a Friday.
The cheap way out is the one DoorDash sells: its own direct-ordering page. And this page is going to say plainly that on software price it wins.
Starter is $0/mo with 0% commission on orders from your own site, Google or Instagram, and 3.3% + 30¢ processing per order; Boost is $99/mo and Pro $249/mo at 2.9% + 30¢. If you are already on DoorDash and you want a checkout that drops orders into the kitchen printer, order there.
Two things come attached. It is only available to a shop with an active DoorDash store, so the 15–30% on every app order carries on — the free page is a door out of a room you are still renting. And what it gives you is a checkout inside DoorDash's account: no box-lid sticker, no counter card, no window board, no one writing your sizes and toppings. The phone number is not the button it leads with, because a phone order is the one order nobody can charge for.
ShopLaunch is the other half of that: the link, the menu and the print, pointed at your phone. If what you want is orders landing in a printer, take DoorDash's free page and keep your $199. If what you want is the box lid working for you, that is this.
You cannot buy a sign on the corner, but every box that leaves the shop is an advertisement that somebody carries into a living room, a dorm, an office. At 600 orders a month that is 20 boxes a day and 21,600 over three years — each one handed to a person who already likes your pizza, holding a blank white lid.
The sticker is the whole idea, and it costs cents: a 4 × 4 inch square, 300 dots per inch, with bleed, laid out twelve to a sheet so your copy shop prints a stack for a few dollars. One code opens the page — the menu with today's prices, the hours, the phone number in one tap — with nothing to install and no app to make an account in.
An ordering system knows you sold 94 pies. It does not know that a person three streets away is deciding at 6:40 whether to phone you or open an app, and that the app will charge you $6.25 if they choose it. That decision happens on a page, before any checkout exists.
We are not asking you to change how you take money, and there is nothing to migrate. The page is the shopfront; the register stays the till.
The phone that actually gets answered, and the hours somebody picks it up. That is the primary button on the page — no checkout, no account, no fee.
Slice, Toast, Square, ChowNow or your own link: the Order button opens it. If you take orders only by phone and at the counter, the buttons read Call and Directions, which is what a pizza customer uses anyway.
Sizes, toppings, the half-and-half rule and what the dough is doing tonight — so the customer arrives at the phone already knowing what they want.
Not a mock-up. A sample shop, built the way we build yours — scroll it in the frame, then open it on your phone and check it against the sticker on the box.

Its own pricing page says so: $39 a month plus $3.00 per order on credit-card orders, with no per-order fee on online orders under $10. At 600 orders a month the per-order line is $1,800 a month, $21,600 a year and $64,800 over three years — before the monthly fee and before the 2.90% + 30¢ card processing. The Complete Growth plan is $99 a month plus $2.00 per online or phone order, with a $1,000 implementation fee.
On software price, yes, and this page says so. DoorDash Online Ordering (formerly Storefront) is $0 a month on Starter with 0% commission on orders from your own site, Google or Instagram, and 3.3% + 30¢ processing; Boost is $99 and Pro $249 a month. Two things come with it: it is only available to a shop with an active DoorDash store, so the 15–30% on every app order carries on, and what you get is a checkout inside their account — no box-lid sticker, no counter card, and the phone number is not the button it leads with. If you want orders to land in a printer, it is a real option; if you want the box lid working, that is us.
No. It has no register, no card payment and no checkout — because we do not want a fee on an order. Call to order is the primary button, since a phone order costs the shop nothing, and if you already take online orders the Order button opens that link instead. Nothing is migrated and no order passes through us.
Toast's starter-kit checkout lists three software packs on its Traditional plan: Basic $69, Core $219 and Growth $578 a month, on a two-year agreement, with the kit up front — $1,153 countertop or the $1,113 handheld reported in August 2026. Core is the first pack with online ordering, Growth the first with a website. On Pay-as-you-Go the software and kit are $0 and the card rate rises instead.
Because the box is the only advertising a pizzeria owns, and it leaves the shop on every order: 20 boxes a day at 600 orders a month, 21,600 over three years. The sticker is 4 × 4 inches, print-ready at 300 dpi with bleed, twelve to a sheet. One scan opens the menu, the hours and the phone number, with nothing to install. If one box in fifty comes back as a phone order instead of an app order, that is 432 orders over three years paying no commission.
Yes — that is the part a generic page gets wrong. Every pie carries a price for each size it comes in (12 inch, 14 inch, 18 inch, half or full tray), the topping list has one price for the small pies and one for the 18-inch, and the half-and-half rule is written out as a line rather than assumed. Gluten-free crust, its upcharge and the shared-kitchen warning sit under the menu, where somebody with a real allergy will look.
One page, two sections: the lunch counter and the evening pies, with the hours and last order time for each. A short status line at the top covers the thing a pizza shop actually needs to say — dough for about 40 more pies, Fridays go by 9:30 — which is also the line that stops a wasted trip.
No. Most shops that order this use it as the link on the box, in the Instagram bio and on the Google profile, and keep whatever site they already pay for. If the old site is a template that is slow on a phone, this replaces it and your domain can be pointed at it; the domain is paid to a registrar, not to us.
They get the number in one tap instead of three, and the menu with today's prices behind it, so the call is shorter. They also get the dough line before they dial. Nothing about how they order changes, and no fee is added to their bill.
No. $49, $199 or $499 is the whole price, charged once. The page stays live, the PDFs and images are yours, and you pay again only when you order new work. We take no percentage of a pie you sold and we collect no customer data.
One business day from the moment your details are complete. The form asks for the shop's name, phone, address and hours, the pies with a price for each size, the toppings, the dough line if you want one, and the photos you already have. If you would rather not type it, paste the link to your menu or your Google profile and we pull what we can, then confirm the rest by email.
Polar Software, Inc., our merchant of record, takes it on their checkout page. Your card details are entered there, never on this site, and they handle the receipt and the tax. We never see your card number.
You see a preview before we call it finished, and every package includes at least one round of edits. If we have not started building, you get a full refund. If we delivered and something on the list is missing or wrong, tell us within 7 days and we fix it or refund that part. Details: refund policy.
Pick the $49 Starter if you need the link and the box-lid sticker. Pick the Local Pack if the menu needs writing properly and the counter could use a card. Either way: one form, one payment, no per-order fee to forget about in a good month.
