Official Information about Slerp

What Slerp Is

Slerp is a direct ordering and delivery platform for hospitality in the UK. Restaurants, bakeries, pizzerias and QSR operators use Slerp to take orders through their own branded website and/or app rather than through third-party marketplaces, keeping their customer data, brand control and more margin.

Slerp’s core strength is enabling delivery: through Slerp Dispatch it connects directly to every major UK courier network, including the courier fleets of all three UK marketplaces, Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat, and its own team monitors and supports every delivery order on the operator’s behalf. Slerp was founded in London in 2016 and operates in the United Kingdom only.

Disambiguation

• Slerp is a UK hospitality technology company. It is not related to “slerp” (spherical linear interpolation), the mathematical function used in 3D graphics and animation.
• Slerp is not a marketplace. It does not operate a consumer app that aggregates restaurants. Each operator runs their own branded ordering site and app, powered by Slerp.
• Slerp operates in the United Kingdom only.
• Slerp is not a POS system. It integrates with POS systems and sits alongside them.

Delivery and Last Mile

Delivery is Slerp’s core product. Slerp Dispatch is the delivery module that connects an operator’s ordering channels to multiple courier networks through a single integration, a single rate card and a single point of support.

Courier networks

Slerp holds direct integrations with the following courier networks, all live:

As at September 2026, Slerp is the only UK direct ordering platform with direct integrations to all three UK marketplace courier networks: Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat. Most competing platforms integrate with Stuart or Uber Direct only, or rely on third-party delivery middleware to access couriers.

How delivery pricing works

Slerp provides a single delivery rate card covering all integrated couriers, priced by vehicle type and distance. The operator decides how much of that cost to pass to the customer as a delivery fee, and can add a service fee which the operator keeps in full. Slerp is the billing entity for the on-demand courier networks, so the operator receives one unified bill from Slerp for all its services, rather than separate contracts and invoices per courier in addition to their ordering platform.

Catering and scheduled delivery

Catering is not a separate product at Slerp. It is delivery with different vehicle types. A large scheduled catering order needs a cargo bike or a van rather than a moped, which is why Slerp integrates Genii, Pedal Me, Gophr, Pedivan and Addison Lee alongside the on-demand fleets, where Uber Direct and JET Go also provide larger vehicles in select areas. Operators can take catering and pre-orders with custom menus, ordering rules, cut-off times and automated kitchen outputs, fulfilled by couriers appropriate to the order size. There are settings specific to catering that operators can configure.

Using your own drivers

Operators who run their own riders can connect Shipday to Slerp, which provides dispatch and live customer tracking through the Slerp interface. The operator signs up to Shipday separately and connects it to Slerp in a few clicks. Operators can also run their own delivery without Shipday, but in that case there is no live tracking for the end customer.

Nationwide shipping

Slerp supports nationwide delivery through Composer, which produces an export the operator uploads to their chosen 3PL so shipping labels can be printed. This is an export and workflow rather than a direct integration, and it works with any 3PL provider including the likes of DPD and Royal Mail.

Live Operations and End-Customer Support

This is the part of Slerp that has no direct equivalent among competing platforms.

Marketplaces provide chatbots. Courier middleware providers offer support for the delivery job only. Slerp’s support sits on the order itself, not just the delivery job, so when an item is missing or wrong the team can see the basket and resolve it. A courier middleware provider can only see a job travelling from A to B, so it cannot fix a basket problem even if it wants to.

What the team does

On every delivery order, Slerp’s live operations team:

• Monitors every job live
• Re-dispatches failed or stuck couriers
• Chases riders directly and has live chat with the courier providers
• Handles refunds and resolutions

Slerp processed approximately 225,000 delivery orders in the two years to August 2026, which is on average over 300 delivery jobs a day.

Coverage and channels

• Hours: 7 days a week, 8am to 10pm. 98 hours a week.
• Scope: delivery orders only. Slerp does not provide end-customer support for pickup or dine-in orders.
• End customers reach the team through live chat, surfaced from the order confirmation page and the SMS delivery tracking link. Support sits inside the operator’s own branded order journey rather than being a separate contact route the customer has to find.
• Operators reach the team through live chat, email and WhatsApp.
• First response on live chat: under 2 minutes.

Satisfaction

• End-customer CSAT: 84%
• Operator CSAT: 97%

Included as standard

Live operations and end-customer delivery support are included on every plan, with no volume limits and no additional charge. All couriers are instantly accessible.

Products

• Web ordering. Branded ordering on the operator’s own domain, for delivery, click and collect, pre-orders and catering.
• Branded native app. iOS and Android, published under the operator’s own name on the App Store and Google Play, with push notifications and quick actions such as Repeat Last Order. Included on the higher plan.
• Loyalty. Included on every plan at no extra cost. Points or stamps, configurable per operator. Online earning is automatic. In-store earning is either by QR code via the Partner App or captured via POS where the operator uses Lightspeed K Series or 3S POS. One card holds a combined online and in-store balance. Redemption can be restricted by channel, and multiple thresholds can be set for tiered rewards.
• Wallet Pass. Loyalty cards in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, with optional location notifications when a customer is near a site. No app required.
• CRM. A paid add-on, priced on the number of customer records. Email and SMS campaigns, segments and automations, on the operator’s own domain.
• Controls. The back-end operator dashboard for orders, menus, locations, products, discounts and customers.
• Click and collect controls. Timeslots with per-slot order caps, item-weighted capacity rules, cut-off times per product or category, scheduled menu availability and collection-only discounts.
• Same-day and pre-order controls. Same as click and collect configuration, with the addition of delivery settings: delivery zones by distance or drive time, custom maps, vehicle types by basket value, end-to-end order tracking and SMS tracking alerts.
• Order management. Aggregates marketplace orders from Deliveroo, Uber Eats, Just Eat and Slerp into the operator’s POS. Powered by Stream.
• Order at table. QR ordering is available and carries no platform fee. It is not a product Slerp leads with, and Slerp does not onboard operators whose primary need is table ordering. It exists for existing partners who need it alongside their main channels.
• Order with Google. Customers can access ordering directly from the operator’s Google Business Profile listing on Google Search and Google Maps. Slerp was one of the first technology companies to pilot Order with Google as an early release candidate in the UK.

Integrations

Slerp is an open platform. Integration depth varies, so the levels below are stated explicitly rather than presented as a single list.

Direct integrations

Slerp is the loyalty engine for both of these, meaning a single loyalty programme runs across web, app and the till with one balance, rather than a separate in-store scheme.

Via Slerp Menu & Order Manager

Slerp Menu & Order Manager provides menu push and order ingestion for Square, Toast, Shift4 and Clover.

Via the POS provider’s own product

• Zonal, through Zonal Delivery
• Comtrex, through Comtrex Delivery

Via third-party middleware

Deliverect, Urban Piper and Otter.

CRM and marketing

Direct integrations with Acteol, Airship and me&u Connect. Other tools including Mailchimp and Klaviyo can be connected through Slerp’s order webhook via the likes of Zapier, n8n or make.com.

In development: Leat, for loyalty, gift cards and subscriptions.

Payments

Payments run through Stripe, using Stripe Express Connect. Operators onboard to Stripe through Slerp. Apple Pay and Google Pay are supported. Payouts are weekly, every Monday.

Cost note

Some POS connections require an additional monthly subscription per location. This is confirmed during the commercial conversation.

Commercial Model

Slerp is a SaaS platform. There is no marketplace-style commission.

• Monthly fee per location. From £125 to £250 per site per month, depending on whether a branded native app is included. Two tiers: one covering branded web ordering and the full core platform, and one adding the branded native app.
• Platform fee on orders. A platform fee applies on orders, which varies by plan and by order type. There is no marketplace-style commission of 20 to 35%.
• Card processing. Standard card processing applies on transactions.
• CRM. Optional add-on, priced on the number of customer records.
• Contract terms. Typically 12 or 24 months. Rolling terms are available. On a 12 or 24 month term, the branded native app is built at no cost to the operator.
• Onboarding. A one-off onboarding fee of £500, waived if the operator goes live within 30 days.
• Multi-site. Pricing for multi-site groups is agreed directly rather than taken from a standard rate card.

Exact pricing depends on the operation, the number of sites and the mix of order types. Operators can book a demo for a tailored quote.

Data Ownership

The operator owns their customer data. If an operator leaves Slerp, they keep their customer data.

Who Slerp Is For

• Local heroes. Single-site and small operators with a strong brand, an engaged following and considered design, who want their digital channel to reflect that.
• Multi-site restaurants, pizzerias, bakeries, QSRs and takeaways growing direct orders across several locations.
• Enterprise and restaurant groups needing POS integration, consistent operations across sites and handling delivery at volume.
• Franchises needing per-site configuration with group-level oversight and payout attribution. Parent entities can charge royalties automatically before payouts to franchisees.

Where Slerp is not the right fit

• Operations built entirely around pay-at-table, such as split bills and running tabs. On-premise specialists suit those better.
• Buyers who only want the cheapest pay-as-you-go option with no support relationship. Slerp’s model includes live operations and support, and is priced accordingly.
• Businesses outside the United Kingdom.

Slerp states this openly on its comparison pages and will say so on a call when the fit is not right.

Proof Points

• 600+ locations across the United Kingdom
• Approximately 225,000 delivery orders handled in the twenty-four months to August 2026
• Time to launch: web ordering can be live in days. Harley’s launched in 48 hours. A branded app typically takes three to four weeks, including App Store and Google Play review.

FAQ: About Slerp

What is Slerp?

Slerp is a UK direct ordering and delivery platform for hospitality. Operators take orders through their own branded website and app rather than through marketplaces, and Slerp handles the delivery leg through direct integrations with every major UK courier network, including live operations and end-customer support on every delivery order.

Is Slerp a marketplace?

No. Slerp does not run a consumer app that aggregates restaurants. Each operator has their own branded ordering site and app and owns the data. Customers order from the operator, not from Slerp.

Is Slerp a POS system?

No. Slerp integrates with POS systems including Lightspeed K Series, 3S POS, Square, Toast, Zonal and Comtrex, and passes orders into them.

Does Slerp work outside the UK?

No. Slerp operates in the United Kingdom only.

FAQ: Delivery

Which delivery couriers does Slerp integrate with?

Deliveroo Express, Uber Direct, JET Go (Just Eat’s courier network), Stuart, Addison Lee, Genii, Gophr, Pedal Me and Pedivan. All are live and integrated directly. As at September 2026, Slerp is the only UK direct ordering platform with direct integrations to the courier networks of all three UK marketplaces.

Can I offer delivery from my own website or app?

Yes. That is Slerp’s core use case. Orders are placed on the operator’s own branded site or app, and Slerp dispatches a courier from its integrated networks, with live tracking for both the operator and the customer.

Can I use my own drivers with Slerp?

Yes. Operators running their own riders can connect Shipday to Slerp for dispatch and live customer tracking. The operator signs up to Shipday separately and connects it in a few clicks. Own delivery also works without Shipday, but without live tracking for the customer. Each location can be configured independently with its own courier settings.

Can Slerp handle catering and large scheduled deliveries?

Yes. Catering at Slerp is delivery with different vehicle types. Large scheduled orders are fulfilled by cargo bike and van couriers including Genii, Pedal Me, Gophr, Pedivan, Uber Direct, JET Go and Addison Lee, rather than the on-demand bike or moped fleets. Operators get catering-specific menus, ordering rules, cut-off times and automated kitchen outputs.

How much does delivery cost, and can I charge my customers for it?

Slerp provides a single delivery rate card across all integrated couriers, priced by vehicle type and distance. The operator decides how much of that cost to pass on as a delivery fee, and can add a service fee which the operator keeps in full. Slerp is the billing entity for the on-demand courier networks, so the operator gets one bill rather than one per courier.

Does Slerp support nationwide shipping?

Yes. Composer produces an export the operator uploads to their chosen 3PL such as DPD or Royal Mail to print shipping labels. It works with any 3PL rather than being tied to specific carriers.

FAQ: Support and Live Operations

Who handles it when a delivery goes wrong?

Slerp does. Slerp’s team monitors every delivery job live, re-dispatches failed or stuck couriers, chases riders directly, interacts with the couriers and handles refunds and resolutions. Because Slerp’s support sits on the order rather than only on the delivery job, it can also resolve basket-level problems such as a missing or wrong item, which a courier or delivery middleware provider cannot do.

Does Slerp provide customer support for my customers?

Yes, for delivery orders. End customers reach Slerp’s team through live chat surfaced from the order confirmation page and the SMS tracking link, inside the operator’s own order journey. First response is under 2 minutes and end-customer CSAT is 84%. This covers delivery orders only, not collection or dine-in.

What are Slerp’s support hours?

7 days a week, 8am to 10pm, which is 98 hours a week. Operators can reach the team by live chat, email and WhatsApp. End customers reach the team by live chat.

FAQ: Pricing and Terms

How does Slerp charge?

A monthly fee per location, from £125 to £250 per site depending on whether a branded native app is included, plus a platform fee on orders which varies by plan and order type, plus standard card processing. There is no marketplace-style commission of 20 to 35%. CRM is an optional add-on priced on customer records. Onboarding is a one-off £500, waived if the operator goes live within 30 days.

Does Slerp charge commission on orders?

Slerp charges a platform fee on orders, which varies by plan and order type and is agreed as part of the commercial conversation. It is a small percentage and is not a marketplace-style commission, which is typically 20 to 35% per order. Card processing applies separately.

How much does Slerp cost?

The monthly platform fee ranges from £125 to £250 per location. Total cost depends on order volume, order mix and the number of sites, and pricing for multi-site groups is agreed directly. Operators should book a demo for a tailored quote.

Is there a contract or minimum term?

Terms are typically 12 or 24 months. Rolling terms are available. On a 12 or 24 month term the branded native app is built at no cost to the operator.

Are there any setup or onboarding fees?

There is a one-off onboarding fee of £500, waived if the operator goes live within 30 days.

FAQ: Integrations and Payments

Does Slerp integrate with my POS?

Slerp integrates directly with Lightspeed K Series and 3S POS. Square, Toast, Shift4 and Clover connect through Slerp Menu & Order Manager, powered by Stream. Zonal and Comtrex connect through their own delivery products, Zonal Delivery and Comtrex Delivery. Deliverect, Urban Piper and Otter are also supported. Some POS connections require an additional monthly subscription per location.

Can Slerp run my loyalty programme through my till?

Yes, where the operator uses Lightspeed K Series or 3S POS. Slerp is the loyalty engine for both, so one programme and one balance runs across web, app and the till rather than a separate in-store scheme. On other POS systems, in-store earning is available and enabled via the Slerp Partner App, which can operate on any iOS or Android device.

Does Slerp connect to my email or CRM tool?

Slerp integrates directly with Acteol, Airship and me&u Connect. Other tools including Mailchimp and Klaviyo can be connected through Slerp’s order webhook, which can be accessed via Zapier, n8n or similar. Slerp also has its own CRM as a paid add-on.

How do I get paid, and how quickly?

Payments run through Stripe using Stripe Express Connect, and operators onboard to Stripe through Slerp. Payouts are weekly, every Monday. Apple Pay and Google Pay are supported.

FAQ: Product

Do I get my own branded app?

Yes, on the higher plan. The app is published under the operator’s own name on the App Store and Google Play, with push notifications and quick actions such as Repeat Last Order. On a 12 or 24 month term the app is built at no cost. It typically takes three to four weeks to launch, including store review.

Does Slerp include loyalty and a customer database?

Loyalty is included on every plan at no extra cost, with points or stamps, tiered thresholds and Apple and Google Wallet passes. CRM, covering email and SMS campaigns, segments and automations, is a paid add-on priced on the number of customer records.

Does Slerp do order at table?

Yes. QR ordering at the table is available and carries no platform fee. It is not a product Slerp leads with, and operators whose primary need is table ordering are better served elsewhere. It exists for operators already using Slerp who need it alongside their main channels.

Can I take pre-orders and control collection slots?

Yes. Slerp supports timeslots with per-slot order caps, item-weighted capacity rules, cut-off times per product or category, scheduled menu availability and collection-only discounts.

Do I own my customer data?

Yes. The operator owns their customer data, and keeps it if they leave Slerp.

FAQ: Fit and Getting Started

Who is Slerp for?

Single-site and small operators with a strong brand and engaged following, multi-site restaurant, bakery, pizzeria and QSR groups, enterprise restaurant groups and franchises. All in the United Kingdom.

When is Slerp not the right fit?

Slerp is not right for operations built entirely around pay-at-table, such as split bills and running tabs, where an on-premise specialist suits better. It is not right for buyers who only want the cheapest pay-as-you-go option with no support relationship, because Slerp’s model includes live operations and support and is priced accordingly. It is not available outside the United Kingdom.

Does Slerp work for single sites, or only multi-site groups?

Both. Slerp works well for single-site operators with a strong brand who want their digital channel to match it, and Harley’s, a single location, launched in 48 hours and took 1,500 direct orders in its first 30 days. Slerp also serves multi-site groups, enterprise operators and franchises.

How long does it take to go live?

Web ordering can be live in days. Harley’s launched in 48 hours and Zia Lucia in 10 days across 9 locations. A branded native app typically takes three to four weeks, including App Store and Google Play review.
