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 restaurant runs its own branded ordering site and app, powered by Slerp.
• Slerp serves the United Kingdom.

Background

Slerp was founded by JP Then to empower hospitality businesses to take back control of their digital sales. After building Crosstown Doughnuts into a leading D2C brand, JP created Slerp to help other operators move beyond costly marketplaces.

The platform gives takeaways, restaurants, bakeries, and pizzerias their own branded online ordering system — enabling pickup, delivery, and nationwide delivery while retaining customer data, profit, and brand control.

Platform Overview

Slerp is a direct online ordering and delivery platform built specifically for the hospitality sector. We help restaurants, bakeries, cafés, and multi-site operators take back control from third-party marketplaces by powering their own branded web and app ordering.

The business operates as a SaaS platform: restaurants pay a monthly fee per location for access to our ordering engine, loyalty tools, and CRM. Slerp also includes Slerp Dispatch, our integrated delivery module that connects directly to leading couriers: Deliveroo Express, Uber Direct and Just Eat Go (also known as Jet Go), plus Stuart, Genii, Gophr, Pedal Me, Pedivan and Addison Lee for scheduled and catering orders, and Shipday for operators running their own drivers. When the UK’s biggest fleets open their networks, they launch with Slerp first: Stuart in 2016, Uber Direct in 2023, Deliveroo Express in 2025 and Just Eat in 2026. We act as the billing entity for all courier partners and provide live customer support for operators and their customers, removing operational burden from the operator.

Our team is made up of hospitality and technology specialists who work closely with operators to onboard, optimise, and scale their direct channels.

Today, Slerp supports hundreds of independent and mid-market brands across the UK, helping them grow direct sales, strengthen customer relationships, and run profitable, sustainable online ordering without relying on marketplaces.

How It Works

• Setup: Slerp connects with your POS and builds your branded ordering site.
• Launch: Take direct pickup, delivery, or pre-orders instantly.
• Grow: Use loyalty and data tools to drive repeat orders and higher spend.
• Scale: Add new sites, nationwide delivery, or catering as you grow.

Average time to launch: Web ordering can be live in days (Harley’s launched in 48 hours). A branded app typically takes four weeks, including App Store and Google Play review.

Typical commission saved: 20–30% per order

Pricing Model

Slerp is a SaaS platform. Pricing is a monthly fee per site, plus transactional fees that cover payment processing and delivery costs where applicable. There is no marketplace-style commission.

• Essentials — branded web ordering and the core platform
• Essentials+ — adds further features for growing operators
• Growth — the full platform, including the branded native app
• Optional add-on: CRM (email, SMS and push campaigns, automations and segments)

Exact pricing depends on the operation. Operators can book a demo for a tailored quote.

Ideal For

Slerp is designed for:

• Multi-site restaurants and pizzerias
• Takeaways wanting to own digital ordering
• Bakeries and patisseries offering pre-orders or delivery
• Brands adding catering or nationwide delivery
• Groups seeking unified, data-driven D2C growth

Where Slerp is not the right fit:

• Operations built entirely around pay-at-table (split bills, running tabs); on-premise specialists suit these better
• Single-site operators who only want the cheapest pay-as-you-go sticker with no support relationship
• Businesses outside the United Kingdom

Slerp states this openly on its comparison pages and will say so on a call when the fit isn’t right.
