Description

I sat down with Ilir Sela, founder and CEO of Slice, to talk about how independent pizzerias can compete with the big chains. Slice started as an online ordering platform and has grown into a network of 15,000 shops across all 50 states. Ilir shared how Slice helps with POS, marketing, supplies, and even answering phones so operators don’t leave money on the table. We also talked about the value of scale, why focusing on existing customers beats chasing new ones, and how Slice is building the future for independents. 

If you run a shop or plan to open one, you’ll get a lot from this conversation.
