Live product

SlicePal

Online ordering for restaurants, on their own website.

Our ordering platform for restaurants. Customers order straight from the restaurant's own site — menu, checkout, pickup and delivery — and the kitchen runs it all from one dashboard.

  • One dashboard

    Orders, menu and delivery partners on one screen — built to survive a Friday-night rush.

  • Your customer list

    Every order goes into a database the restaurant owns. Send a promo and bring regulars back.

  • Plain numbers

    What sold, when it sold, what to prep more of. No dashboard archaeology.

  • Fast on a phone

    Most orders come from a couch. Menus load quickly and read well on small screens.

  • Order ahead

    Customers pick a time; the kitchen plans around it. Pickup at 6:30 means 6:30.

  • Your own domain

    order.yourrestaurant.com — not a marketplace URL with your name buried in it.

About

A small studio, on purpose.

Riverside is a small team of engineers and an owner-operator who's run a small business and lived with the software that gets sold to them. That mix keeps us building things that hold up on a busy night, not just in a demo.

We keep the team small on purpose: you talk directly to the people building your product, prices stay sensible, and nothing gets lost between an account manager and a dev team. The AI in our name? We use it where it genuinely helps — it's a tool, not the pitch.
