Slice runs the website, the online ordering and the register for thousands of independent pizzerias in the United States — and it charges the shop $2.00 or $3.00 on every order on top of the monthly fee. At 600 orders a month that is $47,764 to $66,204 over three years. ShopLaunch builds the page and the QR menu once for $199 and takes nothing on an order, because it does not take orders.
Slice sells two memberships, both month to month. One is the website and online ordering. The other adds a register, phone ordering and hardware — and both put a fee on each order you take.
Both include a branded website, online ordering, a listing in the Slice app, Google listing optimisation, loyalty marketing, menu setup and a month-to-month contract with no exit fee. The Complete plan includes a dual tablet display, stand, payment terminal, cash drawer, receipt printer, kitchen printer and network kit; the Online plan includes a single tablet display. The ordering kiosk is another $59 a month on the Complete plan, Flex Delivery starts at $6.90 an order, and local marketing is quoted.
The part that decides the cost is the line in the middle: $2.00 or $3.00 on every order, paid by you, not by the guest. A flat monthly fee does not grow when you have a good Friday. This one does — and the orders that cost you the most are the regulars you did not have to find, the ones who would have phoned the shop anyway.
600 online orders a month is 20 a day — an ordinary Friday-and-Saturday pizzeria. It is also 21,600 orders over three years, and that is the number the per-order fee multiplies.
On a $25 pizza the $3.00 fee is 12% of the ticket. On a $19 order it is 15.8%. Card processing at 2.90% + 30¢ is another $1.03 on that $25 order, so the order that leaves the oven for $25 returns about $20.97 before flour, cheese, labour and rent — and the fee is charged whether the order came from a new customer or the family that has ordered every Friday for nine years.
Per year at 600 orders that is $22,068 on Online Growth and $15,588 on Complete Growth in year two onward. Our page is $199, once, and takes nothing from an order in any year.

Slice figures from slice.com/pricing, read 11 November 2026: Online Growth $39/mo + $3.00 per order (credit-card orders), Complete Growth $99/mo + $2.00 per online or phone order with a $1,000 implementation fee, 2.90% + $0.30 card processing on both, month-to-month. The three-year figures are 36 months at 600 orders a month. ShopLaunch prices are the ones on this site, in US dollars, before tax.
A comparison page that says the other product is bad at everything is not worth reading. Slice is a real ordering system, and for some shops it is the cheaper toll.
Not a template you fill in. We take your hours, prices and photos, build each piece, and hand back files and a live link.
One form, five minutes. Live the next business day. No app for you or your guests, no monthly fee, and no cut of anything you sell.
The page and the menu are the Local Pack. Nothing here is a subscription, and nothing renews.
One page, one business day.
The one most shops order.
Everything, plus 30 days of us on call.
Payment is taken by Polar Software, Inc., our merchant of record, on their checkout page — we never see your card. By ordering you agree to our terms and refund policy. One round of edits is included; the files are yours to keep and reprint.
Not off the pizza's price, but off your month. Slice's Online Growth plan is $39 a month plus $3.00 on every card order; its Complete Growth plan is $99 a month plus $2.00 on every online or phone order, with a $1,000 implementation fee. Neither charges the per-order fee on online orders under $10, and both are month to month. At 600 orders a month the per-order line is $1,800 on the first plan and $1,200 on the second, before the monthly fee and before the 2.90% + 30¢ card processing that applies on top.
Its consumer pages say it does not add fees to menu prices, and its terms refer to "any Slice fees" without printing an amount. Ask them, in writing, for the exact guest-side fee on a card order and who keeps it. We cannot answer it from their published pages, and a page that guessed would be worse than none.
The site was built and hosted inside Slice's system, so ask them directly: does the site survive a cancellation, who owns the domain, and can you export the menu as a file? Get it in writing before you sign. A page we build comes to you as the live link plus the files, and the menu is a PDF you can reprint at any printer.
No, because we do not offer it. We build the page, the QR menu, the posters and the posts, and we take no payments and no orders. If you take orders by phone and ring them through a register you already own, this page is the missing half. If you want orders to land in a kitchen printer without anyone answering the phone, Slice or a similar platform is a real product and we are not it.
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.
Both plans, the per-order arithmetic at 600 orders, and the three-year totals, on one printable page.
Want all eleven on one page? The 2026 cost comparison puts them side by side.
Send your shop once. We build the page, the QR menu, the posters and the posts, and hand it back the next business day. If you already pay a platform for a page like this, this is the line you can take off the bill.
