Slingers

What Slingers does

Slingers LA operates a single-location fast-casual restaurant at 7333 Fulton Avenue in North Hollywood, California, specializing in turkey-based slider burgers. Founded around 2023, the company positions itself as a healthier and more sustainable alternative to traditional beef-based fast food, emphasizing localized supply chains and reduced environmental impact from turkey farming. The menu centers on four core protein offerings — Original Slinger, Cali Slinger, Big Original, and Big Cali — priced from $5.85 for individual sliders to $16.49 for combo meals, with sides (thick-cut fries, white cheddar mac, tater tots, caesar salad), beverages, and a brownie dessert. Sides and combo meals include add-ons such as Cali steak fries ($5.69) and white cheddar mac ($5.49).

The business operates entirely through a direct-to-consumer model with no proprietary technology beyond a standard Toast Tab point-of-sale and online ordering system. Distribution channels include in-restaurant dining, pickup, and delivery through three major third-party platforms (Uber Eats, Postmates, DoorDash), plus B2B catering services for drop-off events and private functions via ezCater and direct email inquiries at [email protected]. The company's go-to-market relies on local brand identity framed as 'Best Burger in LA', sustainability messaging, and digital discoverability through delivery marketplaces rather than any disclosed marketing infrastructure, paid acquisition, or loyalty programs.

Slingers' revenue derives from two streams: consumer food and beverage sales at the restaurant and via delivery, and B2B catering for corporate and private events. Pricing is purely transactional (pay-as-you-go unit pricing) with no subscriptions, contracts, or franchise structure disclosed. The company is privately held with no disclosed ownership, investors, headcount, funding history, certifications, or management team information, and operates solely in California with no multi-location footprint.

Direct peers

• Burger Lounge: San Diego-headquartered fast-casual chain specializing in grass-fed, all-natural burgers with a clean-ingredient positioning. Closely mirrors Slingers' 'healthier, more sustainable' burger narrative in an overlapping Southern California market.
• The Habit Burger Grill: California-originated fast-casual charburger chain with a counter-service model, combo meals, and a regional footprint — directly comparable to Slingers' format, pricing architecture, and target customer.
• Shake Shack: National fast-casual premium burger chain offering counter-service burgers, crinkle-cut fries, and shakes in a similar dine-in/takeout/delivery model — the closest public benchmark for a single-unit upscale burger concept like Slingers.
• Smashburger: National fast-casual smash-burger chain with a streamlined counter-service menu, combos, and delivery partnerships — directly comparable operating format and price point to Slingers.
• Umami Burger: Los Angeles-based gourmet fast-casual burger concept emphasizing premium ingredients and signature flavor profiles. Operates in the same Southern California trade area and competes for the same 'better burger' customer that Slingers targets.
• Hopdoddy Burger Bar: Fast-casual chain built around premium burgers with sustainability-sourced beef and signature sauces — directly comparable brand-positioning model (premium ingredients, sustainability messaging, signature sauce IP) to Slingers.

Emerging players

• Sweetgreen: Leading fast-casual brand built on a 'healthier, sustainable, supply-chain-transparent' mission. A useful aspirational comparable for the trajectory Slingers could pursue if it scales its sustainability-driven narrative into a multi-unit concept.
• Birdcall: Fast-casual chicken concept built on a sustainability story (100% pasture-raised poultry, lower-emission supply chain). Most directly comparable to Slingers on the 'sustainable poultry vs. beef' positioning and emerging-stage fast-casual growth profile.

Broad incumbents

• Five Guys: Large established fast-casual burger chain offering counter-service burgers and fries at a similar price band. Not a niche specialist, but the dominant fast-casual burger benchmark for unit economics and customer expectations in markets like Slingers'.
• White Castle: Iconic slider-focused QSR chain and the original 'slider' concept. While a much larger incumbent, it directly owns the slider format Slingers is built around and is the most relevant category-defining comparable.
