Considering Slerp?
Slerp, compared honestly
Slerp is a UK direct ordering platform with a strong following among bakeries, gifting brands, and hospitality groups - web ordering, click and collect, and nationwide delivery for products that ship.
Their positioning, in their words: “Online ordering system for restaurants, bakeries & QSRs” - UK direct ordering
Where Slerp is a strong choice
- Bakeries and gifting brands doing nationwide shipping alongside local orders
- Brands that want a heavily merchandised, retail-style ordering storefront
If that is your situation, they deserve a fair look. Here is where the two platforms genuinely differ.
Where the two differ
The in-venue half of the estate
Storekit runs the on-premise channels - QR order-and-pay, pay-at-table, digital tabs - alongside the off-premise ones, on one menu and one guest database. If your sites serve people at tables as well as at doors, that is half the business.
The integration surface
Storekit connects to 100+ systems across EPOS, delivery, loyalty, payments, and marketing - including the UK till stack: Zonal, Tevalis, Tissl, Lightspeed, Square, and more. Put your own stack against any platform's published list before you choose.
Same category, different centre
Slerp and Storekit both sell direct ordering, and either is a defensible choice. Slerp's centre of gravity is retail-style e-commerce for food brands; Storekit's is restaurant operations - capacity control on a Friday night, tickets on the pass, table turns. Pick the one shaped like your business.
Five questions to ask both of us
Whatever you choose, put the same questions to every platform on your shortlist - including Storekit - and get the answers in writing.
01
Can you export your customer list today, without asking?
This is the ownership test. If the answer is no, you are renting a marketplace with your logo on it.
02
Is the fee a flat per-order rate or a percentage of the basket?
Percentages scale with your prices and your success. Flat rates do not.
03
Does it cover every channel you run - or will you need a second system?
Takeaway, delivery, collection, at-table, and catering off one menu, or you will maintain five menus.
04
Does it drop orders into your EPOS, or does someone re-key them?
Re-keying is the hidden labour cost of most ordering systems. Ask for the integration list in writing.
05
What happens on your busiest night?
Ask about capacity controls per time slot, pausing a channel mid-service, and what support answers at 7pm on a Friday.
Weighing the rest of the field
Slerp and Storekit, asked directly
What is the difference between Slerp and Storekit?
Both are UK direct ordering platforms. Slerp is strongest in retail-style food e-commerce - bakeries, gifting, nationwide shipping. Storekit is built around restaurant service: the off-premise channels plus QR order-and-pay, pay-at-table, and digital tabs in venue, with orders dropping into your EPOS.
Which is better for a restaurant group, Slerp or Storekit?
Ask each platform the same questions: which of your channels it covers on one menu, which of your tills it integrates with, and what estate-level reporting and permissions look like. Storekit runs multi-site groups from one dashboard with site-level control, and you can test it free before deciding.
