KD 38 for Forty-Eight Sliders: The Arithmetic of Slider Station’s Boxes

The small box works out at 917 fils a piece and the large at 792. A burger costs more than twice that, because you get a quarter of the pieces.

Slider Station runs a store separate from its restaurant menu that sells nothing but group boxes in three sizes. Here are its figures — and, more usefully, the arithmetic nobody displays: what you actually pay per piece.

The slider box

Small, 12 pieces, KD 11. Medium, 24 pieces, KD 20. Large, 48 pieces, KD 38.

Per piece that is 917 fils in the small, 833 in the medium and 792 in the large. The large is about fourteen per cent cheaper per piece than the small.

The burger box

Small, 5 pieces, KD 11. Medium, 10 pieces, KD 20. Large, 20 pieces, KD 38.

The dinar ladder is identical, but the piece count is a quarter of the slider box. So a single burger at the large size is 1.900 dinars against 792 fils for a slider. That is the difference that decides which you order.

The rest of the range

Double burger box: small 5 pieces at KD 14, medium 10 pieces at 26. There is no large.

Lemon pepper chicken: 5 pieces at KD 9, 10 at 17, 20 at 30 — one and a half dinars a piece at the largest size.

Commando fries: 3 portions at 5.750, 6 at 11, 9 at 15.500.

Sticky maple buffalo shrimps: 3 portions at KD 8, 6 at 14.500, 9 at 19.500.

The store’s own terms

Currency in dinars to three decimals. Delivery and pickup both enabled. No minimum order. Pickup lead time forty minutes.

The sizes are published in Arabic on the store itself: small 12 pieces, medium 24, large 48.

What the store does not say

There is no description of any box. Every description field is empty, so we do not know the sauces, the sides or the bread. It does not say how many people each size feeds. There is no branch list, and no word on whether the boxes are made at every branch or in one kitchen.

No item carries an expiry: this is a standing catalogue, not an offer that closes.

The trade press names the Kuwaiti restaurateur Basil Al Salem as the brand’s founder; that is not a first-party source, so we attribute it to them.
