Leaving Slice? The honest field for pizzerias, Zayos included.
Published July 2026 · Updated October 4, 2026
Slice publishes two plans: Online at $39 a month plus $3.00 per order, and Family at $399 a month plus $2.00 per order with a $1,000 implementation fee. Pizzerias leave over per-order fees at volume, hardware lock in, or growth past pizza. Zayos is one of six alternatives here.
No setup fee. Month to month. We get you live in under a week.

Why do pizzerias leave Slice?
Credit first: Slice does not take a percentage of your food revenue, it says so on its own product page, and it knows pizza better than any generalist platform on this page. Four verified reasons operators still shop, each drawn from Slice's own published pricing and product pages, with prices read 4 Oct 2026.
Does the per-order fee outgrow the subscription?
This is the number one reason and it is arithmetic, not opinion. Slice Online is $39 a month plus $3.00 per order (credit card orders only). Every online card order adds another $3.00, so the bill follows your order count and not your plan. The subscription is small and the order fee is the bill. Pizzerias tend to shop for an alternative in the month they notice the platform line grew faster than sales did.
Is the Family plan a real commitment?
Slice Family is $399 a month plus $2.00 per order, with a $1,000 implementation fee, month to month, and it bundles the hardware: Slice Register, stand, payment terminal, cash drawer, receipt printer, kitchen printer and network kit, plus phone ordering, flex delivery, discounted supplies and an account manager. That is a genuine package. It is also a register-level decision, and switching later means switching your counter, not just your website.
What happens when you are not only a pizzeria anymore?
Slice is built for pizza and says so on every product page. Open a second concept that sells shawarma, wings, poke or coffee and the platform that made your pizza shop efficient has nothing to sell you. Operators with brands in one kitchen, or a family running a pizzeria and a market, usually leave for scope reasons rather than price.
Do the delivery apps still land on a separate tablet?
Slice does not advertise third party marketplace order ingestion anywhere on its product pages (checked 2026-07-26). So the DoorDash tablet, the Uber Eats tablet and the Grubhub tablet stay where they are, with menus and hours maintained in every one of them. If your actual pain is four screens on the pass at 7pm, a cheaper ordering page does not fix it.

How does a Slice bill grow with your order count?
Per-order pricing is invisible until it is not. Slice lists Online at $39 a month plus $3.00 per order, and Family at $399 a month plus $2.00 per order. On either plan the membership is the part that stays still and the order fee is the part that moves. A flat monthly plan, ours included, does not move with orders at all.
Take your online orders in a normal month, multiply by the per-order fee on your plan, and add the membership. That is your platform bill before card processing, which every platform charges. Set it beside the flat monthly price of whichever alternative you are weighing. If your number is the lower one, staying put is the right answer and this page just saved you a demo.
Family per-order fees apply to online and phone orders only, and Family charges no per-order fee on orders under $10, so count only the orders the fee applies to.

Which Slice alternative fits which pizzeria?
Six options, including staying where you are. Every competitor price is from the vendor's own published pricing page. Zayos is entry six and the entry says what it costs us to say.
Staying on Slice, Online Membership
Best for the shop with low online order volume.
The most honest answer on this page is that a lot of pizzerias should not leave. Slice does not take a percentage of your food revenue, its own product page says so plainly, and at low online volume $39 plus $3.00 an order is genuinely hard to beat. Multiply your monthly online orders by the per-order fee, add the membership, and compare that with any flat fee on this page. If your number is lower, leaving costs you money. Run your own count before you run a demo.
HungerRush
Best for pizzerias that want a pizza shaped POS and will negotiate a quote.
HungerRush is the closest like for like to Slice Family: a pizza first point of sale with delivery management, loyalty and marketing around it. Its published pricing page (accessed July 2026) lists a Starter plan from $0 a month for qualifying operators, including one terminal, cash drawer, card reader and receipt printer, with flat 3.09% + $0.15 processing on card present and card not present alike. Online ordering sits in the Custom plan, which is not priced publicly. Read that as a strength if you like negotiating and a weakness if you want to compare on a spreadsheet.
ChowNow
Best for high volume shops that want a flat monthly with no platform fee per order.
ChowNow is the cheapest flat fee escape from per-order pricing, and at volume it beats us on price. Its published pricing page (read 4 Oct 2026) lists Launch at $249 monthly or $229 billed annually, Grow at $349 or $319, Elevate at $449 or $409, with a $119 to $499 setup fee, processing at 2.95% + $0.29, $99 a year for the Apple developer account if you run the branded app, and $7.98 an order for Flex Delivery. Marketing contacts are capped by tier at 500, 2,000 and 5,000. It is direct ordering only, so the marketplace tablets stay separate.
Owner.com
Best when the website and the marketing, not the order fee, are the problem.
If you are leaving Slice because your pizzeria is invisible next to its own DoorDash listing, Owner.com sells the growth side hard: site, SEO pages, branded app, loyalty and automated marketing. Its published pricing page (read 4 Oct 2026) lists Flexible at $249 a month plus a 5% restaurant fee per order, and Flat Rate at $499 a month with no additional restaurant fee. On both plans the guest pays a 5% order support fee, month to month, no cancellation fees. Percentage fees grow with your ticket, which is the trade you are accepting.
Toast
Best for pizzerias replacing the whole counter, not just the ordering page.
Toast is the answer when the register, the kitchen screens, payroll and ordering all need to move at once. Toast lists a Starter Kit from $0 a month and a Point of Sale plan from $69 a month on its own pricing page (read 4 Oct 2026). Online ordering is sold as an add-on and the page shows no price for it, and it lists no card processing rate either, so both arrive in a quote. Slice is month to month, so ask Toast for the contract length and the exit terms in writing and price the exit before you sign the entry.
Zayos
Best at steady online order volume, or when marketplace tablets are the pain.
This is our platform, so weigh it accordingly. Zayos is flat: $399, $499 or $599 per location per month, month to month, no setup fee, and there is no per-order platform fee charged to the pizzeria at any volume. The diner pays a small flat service fee at checkout, $0.99 pickup, $0.99 delivery, $0 dine in, 10% on catering, and the restaurant keeps 100% of food revenue, and 100% of tips on pickup and dine in. On delivery the tip goes to the driver. The $499 Operator + Tablet plan ingests Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub orders through Otter so they land on the same tablet as direct orders. Honest counterweights: we cost more per month than Slice Online and more than ChowNow Launch, and we are the newest platform on this list. Naya Grill in Pompano Beach is one of the restaurants live and taking orders on Zayos today. Farooj Abo Alabed, also live on Zayos, is on pace for $40k+ a year in commission not paid to a marketplace: its direct food sales after discounts from 10 Aug to 3 Oct 2026 (55 days), annualized at a 35% blended marketplace cost. Eight more storefronts are live and taking direct orders. We get you live in under a week.
