What your guest does on one tap

Six things your guest can do at the table, so your team does not have to.

The magenta sticker on your bar is a modern QR code, no scanning. When a guest taps it, this is what happens, without you hiring more staff, training anyone, or buying a new point-of-sale.

1

Your menu, in their language

Tap and the guest sees your live menu auto-translated to their browser language. Twelve languages tuned for the FIFA World Cup 2026 visitor mix, including Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Korean, Arabic.

2

Order straight to the kitchen

The order routes through your Toast or Square point-of-sale to your line, no server intermediary. Bigger checks without table-turn pressure.

3

Pay and tip from phone

Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card. The guest can split the check, tip the server and the kitchen on the same screen, and walk out without waiting for a printed bill.

4

Join your club

Coffee Club, lunch club, weekend pass, whichever recurring program you set. The guest enrolls in one tap and you bank predictable monthly revenue from regulars who would have stayed casual.

5

Earn rewards

Real loyalty, not a punch card. Points for repeat visits, perks tied to your menu, milestones the guest can see. You set the rules from your phone in seconds.

6

Private feedback if it's rough

Low-rating moments route privately to management while the guest is still on site, so your team can recover the visit before it becomes a public 1-star. High-rating moments get steered to your Google review.

One sticker, no QR to scan. No app for your guest to download. No card swipe. No waiter at the table to take an order or run a check.

Everything an operator needs. One app. No agency, no team, no ad spend.

Slad replaces the whole stack an independent restaurant normally pieces together: a Google listings manager, a video tool, a creator-vetting platform, a reputation tool, and an ordering and rewards system, starting at $99 a month.

Get Found on Google and AI Search

Show up first on Google, and surface when diners ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity where to eat. Slad keeps your Google profile fresh with posts and review replies, turns your Instagram into Google posts, and features your food on its Atlanta food channel and eats guide, so you get found without doing the work.

Food Videos, Everywhere

Turn one dish photo or clip into a polished food video with the steam, drip, and sizzle a flat photo can't show, then post it to Google, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube in one tap.

Order + Pay at the Table

Guests tap the Slad sticker, a modern QR code with no scanning, see your live menu, send orders straight to the kitchen, pay from their phone, and join memberships like a coffee club. No app to download, no extra staff steps.

Reputation Shield

Recover unhappy guests before they go public. Slad routes low ratings privately to management and drafts your review replies, so 1-star damage gets caught at the table, not on Google.

See Your Atlanta Market

See the openings and closures near you, price moves on what you buy, Atlanta policy windows before they hit, and the complaints that keep coming up across your competitors, so you can win on them.

Stop Overpaying Creators

Paste a handle. Get audience authenticity, real engagement, a fair-price range, and cross-platform reach across Instagram and TikTok in under a minute, before you wire a dollar.

Your AI Operator Assistant

A built-in AI assistant that already knows your venue (menu, reviews, POS, channels) and your Atlanta market (openings, closures, cost moves, policy, competitors). Ask it real questions and get specific, numbers-tied answers, not generic advice.

Live across your floor and your feed in 3 Simple Steps

Set it up in one sitting, then run it in a few minutes a day from your phone. You approve; Slad makes the videos, posts to every channel, replies to reviews, runs the table, and watches your Atlanta market.

Under an hour

Guests self-serve at the table. Staff just point at the sticker.

  1. 1

    Go live the same day

    Place your Slad stickers, connect Google and your social channels, link your point-of-sale, and upload your menu. Setup takes minutes, your floor and your feed go live the same day.

    Phase: Setup

    Tables, Google, channels, and reputation flow live in one sitting.

  2. 2

    Run your floor and your feed

    Guests tap a sticker, a modern QR code with no scanning, to order, pay, and join memberships right from the table, sent straight to your kitchen. Meanwhile Slad keeps your Google profile fresh, turns your dishes into videos that post to Google, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube, and gets your food featured so new diners find you in Google and AI search, all on your approval.

    Phase: Run

    Tables take orders. Dishes become posts. You tap approve.

  3. 3

    Protect your name, win your market

    Unhappy guests route into a private manager feedback loop before they go public; happy ones become verified reviews and content. The same dashboard shows the openings, cost moves, and policy shifts in your Atlanta market, and vets any creator before you pay.

    Phase: Results

    More content. Less public fallout. Real signal on your Atlanta market.

Frequently asked questions

The questions Atlanta operators ask before they sign up.

Pricing
What's the price, and what's the catch?

Three tiers, all on your getslad.com page. Listed at $99/mo per venue puts you in the Atlanta directory and on the map. Reputation at $399/mo makes your reputation public, your rating, reviews, and Slad score, so guests see the full picture before they walk in. Complete at $1,199/mo is the full showcase: dish videos, table ordering and payments, memberships, multi-channel publishing, your Google presence, Reputation Shield, Atlanta market intel, and the assistant, all continuously updated, with Slad stickers included. Start anywhere and move up when you are ready.

ROI
What return can I expect?

Fair question: Slad starts at $99 a month, and the return comes from filling tables and keeping regulars. Higher checks when guests order from the table, recurring memberships, new diners who find you on Google and in AI search, and reputation recovery that protects your rating. Put your own diners per day and average spend into the revenue calculator to see your estimated extra revenue, payback period, and return against what you pay. Every number it uses is grounded in published research.

Features
What exactly does Slad do?

A lot, all in one app: your Google presence on autopilot, AI food videos that post to every channel, order and pay at the table, memberships and clubs, Reputation Shield, Atlanta market intel, influencer vetting, plus an in-app AI operator assistant that already knows your venue and your Atlanta market, and a guest-facing page with rewards. For the complete, itemized breakdown of everything Slad does for you and for your guests, see the full feature list.

AI assistant
What can the in-app AI operator assistant actually help me with?

Quite a lot, because it already knows your venue and your Atlanta market. It reads your menu, your reviews, your POS data, your connected channels, and your Slad settings, and it sees the live signals in your Atlanta market (openings, closures, cost moves, policy windows, competitor moves). So when you ask things like "what is my best Friday menu for FIFA weekend," "should I run a coffee club this winter," or "draft a reply to this 1-star review," you get specific, numbers-tied answers grounded in your actual numbers and what is moving near you, not generic advice. It also walks you through how to do anything in the app, from connecting Toast to scheduling a Google post. Per-venue chat thread, isolated to your account.

Reputation
What if a guest has a bad experience?

Before a guest is guided toward sharing, they rate their visit. If they select a low rating, Slad routes that feedback privately to management instead of pushing them toward a public post. Your team gets the chance to recover the moment while the guest is still on site, before frustration becomes a Google or Yelp review. We do not block public reviews. We give you a chance to fix the issue first.

Content
How does Slad turn one photo into a video?

Slad runs your dish photo through an AI video model that adds the motion flat photos can't show: steam off the plate, sauce drip, sheen, sizzle. You get a polished short video in minutes, ready for Google, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube. You can also start from a short clip and Slad will remix it. No camera, no crew, no editor.

Spend protection
Why pay Slad to vet creators? Can't I just check their page?

A glance at a creator's page tells you their follower count and a few comments. It does not tell you what % of their followers are real, what their fair-price benchmark is for your tier, whether their engagement is rented or organic, or whether the account is fading. Slad computes those four things in under a minute, for both Instagram and TikTok. The fair-price feature alone usually saves operators more in one season than a year of Slad costs.

Channels
Does Slad replace Google Business, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube?

No, Slad connects to them. You authorize Google Business, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube once, then every video, photo, and offer publishes across them with one tap. You keep your accounts and your audience. Slad handles the publish, the cross-posting, the Google profile and posts, and the review replies.

Discovery
Will Slad help new diners find me, even in AI search?

Yes. Slad keeps your Google profile fresh so you rank when diners search nearby, and it features your food on @searchslad, its public Atlanta food channel, with a lasting page on the getslad eats guide. Those pages help your venue show up in Google and in what ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity tell people who ask where to eat in Atlanta, with nothing for you to write or set up.

Operations
Will I have to retrain my staff?

No major training burden. Guests tap the Slad sticker, a modern QR code they never have to scan, for the menu, order, and rewards, and move through the flow on their own. Your team can point at the sticker the same way they would point at a menu. Marketing happens in the back office through your phone, not on the floor.

Category
Is Slad an agency, or a tool, or a POS replacement?

None of the above. Slad is the operating system an independent restaurant runs themselves. It does not replace your POS (Toast, Square stay where they are); it connects to it so guests can order and pay. It is not an agency, no one runs your account for you. It is the operator-grade alternative to a chain's marketing team, loyalty contract, and agency, starting at $99 a month.

Ordering
Can guests order and pay from the table?

Yes. Once your point-of-sale is connected, guests tap the Slad sticker, a modern QR code with no scanning, see your live menu, send their order straight to the kitchen, pay from their phone, and can join recurring memberships like a coffee club. No app to download, and your staff keeps working the way they already do.

Setup
How long until we're live?

Most venues are live the same day they receive their sticker pack. Average setup is under an hour: place stickers, link your accounts (Google, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube), connect your point-of-sale, and upload your menu and a few dish photos. Your first food video and first multi-channel post can publish before the night-shift starts.

Ordering
Can guests order and pay at the table without changing my POS?

Yes, and you keep your existing point-of-sale. Slad connects to Toast or Square instead of replacing them: guests tap a sticker, a modern QR code with no scanning, see your live menu, send orders to the kitchen, pay from their phone, and join memberships. No new hardware, and no app for guests to download.

Cost
What's a cheaper alternative to a restaurant marketing agency?

A restaurant marketing agency runs $2,500+/mo and only handles your posts. Slad is an operating system that does the marketing and runs your floor, your reviews, and your local intel , starting at $99 a month, with no agency, no team to hire, and no ad spend.

Reputation
How can I stop bad reviews before they go public?

Catch the unhappy guest before they post. Slad asks for a quick rating at the table; a low score routes privately to management instead of becoming a public 1-star, so you can make it right, while happy guests get steered to a public Google review.

Content
How do I turn food photos into videos automatically?

Upload one dish photo and Slad turns it into a polished short video with the steam, drip, and sizzle a still photo can't show, then posts it to Google, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube in one tap, with no filming or editing.

Atlanta
What's the best all-in-one app for independent Atlanta restaurants?

Slad is built for independent Atlanta restaurants: get found on Google, post your food to every channel, take orders, payments, and memberships at the table, recover unhappy guests before they go public, and track the openings, cost moves, and policy in your Atlanta market, all in one app, starting at $99 a month.

Research
Are Slad's claims and revenue numbers backed by real research?

Yes. Every claim on this site, and every default in the revenue calculator, is tied to a published source: peer-reviewed research (for example, the Harvard study linking a one-star-higher rating to 5 to 9% more revenue for independent restaurants), established research firms like BrightLocal, Rival IQ, and Gartner, and clearly-labeled industry data. Where a study gives a range, we use the conservative end. You can read every source, tagged by how credible it is, on the research page.

Every venue gets a getslad.com page.

The tier just sets how rich it is. Get on the map, make your reputation public, or run the full showcase that turns someone browsing the directory into a guest walking through your door. Starting at $3 a day.

What changes the day Slad goes live

Slad is not another marketing layer your team has to manage. It connects your Google presence, your tables, your channels, and your spend into one operating system the operator runs themselves, with no agency, no team to hire, no ad spend, no app-switching, and no extra tools.

1 Before Slad

  • Your Google profile goes stale, posts are sporadic and reviews sit unanswered, so you slide down the results when diners search nearby.
  • Tables wait on staff to order and pay, happy guests leave without creating any digital lift, and you have no easy way to turn regulars into recurring revenue.
  • Reputation management is reactive. By the time you see a 1-star review, it is already public.
  • Food photos sit flat on Instagram and Google, with no time or budget to film. You juggle five apps or pay an agency $2,500+/mo to post for you.
  • You're guessing on your Atlanta market. New openings, closures, cost moves, and policy changes hit you before you see them coming.
  • You wire creators $1,500 to $5,000 with no way to know if their followers are real, their engagement is bought, or their fair price is half what they're asking.
  • When you have an operating question (best Friday menu, fair labor cost, how to reply to a bad review), you ask your accountant, ask a friend operator, or guess. The answer is hours or days away and rarely grounded in your numbers.

2 With Slad in place

  • Slad runs your Google profile on autopilot: posts on a cadence, your Instagram turned into Google posts, and a reply to every review in the guest's language, so you rise in Google and in the AI answers diners now get instead of sliding down the results.
  • Guests tap a Slad sticker, a modern QR code with no scanning, to order, pay, and join memberships, sent straight to your kitchen, and share their dish as verified promotion that brings the next guest in.
  • Unhappy guests route into a private manager feedback channel before they go public, and happy ones get steered to a public 5-star. Reputation Shield catches the moment.
  • One dish photo becomes a polished food video with steam, drip, and sizzle, and publishes to Google, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube in one tap. No app-switching, no agency.
  • One dashboard shows the openings, cost moves, policy shifts, and competitor moves in your Atlanta market, so you act first instead of reacting.
  • Before you wire a creator, you see their real audience, fair price, engagement, and cross-platform reach. PASS or FAIL in under a minute.
  • Your built-in AI operator assistant already knows your venue (menu, reviews, POS, channels) and your Atlanta market (openings, costs, policy, competitors), so you ask it real questions and get specific, numbers-tied answers in seconds, not generic advice.

In-venue

Simple for staff

Your team does not need a long explanation. They can simply say: “The menu, ordering, payment, and rewards are right there on the table.” Slad handles the digital flow from there, with no new POS and no retraining.

Online

Online, on autopilot

Slad keeps your Google profile fresh, turns your dishes into videos that post to every channel, replies to your reviews, and turns happy guests into verified promotion, all on your approval.

Outcomes

More control, less fallout

You get found on Google, recover bad moments before they go public, and see what your Atlanta market is doing, so reputation risk goes down while guest-driven demand goes up.
