  • They diverge on capability: Resy covers Online reservations, Slice covers Flat fee per order.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Resy

  • Platform & Essential tier (289 USD/month) lacks advanced analytics and POS integrations (Premium required)
  • Platform tier lacks Premium features such as priority phone support and advanced experience management
  • Essential tier charged with 3% prepayment fees on events (Premium reduced to 2%)

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

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.

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.

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.
