The short version
- Only Just Eat has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Just Eat delivery speed and reliability on marketplace-only listings depend on the individual restaurant's own drivers, which is far less consistent than a platform-run logistics network.; Slice the platform sells only to pizzerias, so a group that adds a second concept has to run a separate ordering stack for it.
- They diverge on capability: Just Eat covers Restaurant and takeaway marketplace, Slice covers Flat fee per order.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Just Eat
- Delivery speed and reliability on marketplace-only listings depend on the individual restaurant's own drivers, which is far less consistent than a platform-run logistics network.
- The Grubhub acquisition was written down by billions of dollars within two years, a sign the US delivery market did not work economically for the company even at scale.
- The parent company was taken private by Prosus in 2025, so a former public company with disclosed results is now reporting to a single owner instead.
- Fee structures differ by country and even by restaurant within a country, making the total cost of an order harder to predict than a flat platform fee.
- Brand fragmentation across Just Eat, Lieferando and Thuisbezorgd means account, loyalty points and order history do not necessarily carry over if you move between the markets that use different local names.
Slice
- The platform sells only to pizzerias, so a group that adds a second concept has to run a separate ordering stack for it.
- The consumer marketplace lists nearby competitors alongside you, and the flat order fee is charged even on repeat customers you introduced yourself, so you pay indefinitely for demand you already own.
- Slice Register is a much younger product than general purpose restaurant POS software and its reporting, inventory and multi location features are thinner than what an established POS offers.
- Delivery fulfilled through third party fleets is billed per delivery on top of the order fee, so the true cost per delivered order is well above the headline flat fee.
- Group purchasing savings depend on switching or supplementing your existing distributor and meeting order minimums, which small shops with limited storage often cannot do.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Just Eat: Is Just Eat the same company as Grubhub?
It was; Just Eat Takeaway.com bought Grubhub in 2021 but sold it to Wonder Group in 2024 after large write-downs.
Slice: Does Slice take a commission on orders?
No. It charges a flat amount per order, so the fee does not rise with ticket size. Delivery, if you use the Slice driver network, is billed separately per delivery.
Just Eat: Why does the app have a different name in some countries?
Just Eat Takeaway.com operates local brands such as Lieferando in Germany and Austria and Thuisbezorgd in the Netherlands, all on shared underlying technology.
Slice: Do I have to use Slice Register to get online ordering?
No. Ordering works alongside most common POS systems, and many shops take Slice orders on a tablet without any POS integration at all.
Just Eat: Is Just Eat still a publicly listed company?
No. Prosus took Just Eat Takeaway.com private in a 2025 acquisition.
Slice: Will customers know they are ordering from my pizzeria or from Slice?
Both happen. Orders placed on your branded site look like yours; orders placed in the Slice app come from a marketplace where your listing sits beside other pizzerias.
Slice: Is it available outside the United States?
No. Slice operates in the United States only.
