Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Postmates
- Driver supply varies by location after consolidation with Uber Eats
- Customer support is now handled through Uber's system rather than dedicated Postmates support
- Limited delivery areas in less densely populated regions
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
Postmates: Is Postmates still operating after Uber's acquisition?
Yes, Postmates continues operating. Uber completed the acquisition in December 2020 and kept Postmates as a separate consumer-facing brand. Orders placed on Postmates are fulfilled by Uber Eats drivers tagged with Postmates order identifiers.
SourceSlice: 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.
Postmates: How are Postmates orders delivered after the Uber acquisition?
Postmates orders are now delivered by Uber Eats drivers, but the Postmates app remains separate. Deliveries are tagged as Postmates OrderID within the unified driver network.
SourceSlice: 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.
Postmates: Can I still use the Postmates app?
Yes, the Postmates app continues to be available on the App Store and Google Play. You can place orders through the Postmates app, though the driver network now operates through Uber Eats infrastructure.
SourceSlice: 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.
Postmates: Did Postmates driver operations change?
Yes, Uber shut down the Postmates Fleet app for drivers. Postmates couriers were notified the Fleet app would go offline, consolidating driver operations into the Uber driver app. Postmates orders are now fulfilled by Uber Eats drivers.
SourceSlice: Is it available outside the United States?
No. Slice operates in the United States only.
