GloriaFood Alternative: The Best GloriaFood Replacements
GloriaFood is shutting down. What now?
GloriaFood, Oracle's free online ordering platform, closes on 30 April 2027. If your restaurant takes orders through it, you need to be on something else before that date, or you lose online ordering altogether.
Most of the replacements do more than GloriaFood did: POS integration, branded apps, loyalty programmes, AI features. Moving isn't hard. Just don't leave it until March.
What to look for in a GloriaFood replacement
GloriaFood got popular because it was free and easy to set up. When you compare alternatives, check for:
- Direct online ordering with no marketplace commission
- Your name and logo on the ordering site, not the platform's
- POS integration, so online orders go straight to the kitchen
- Ownership of your customer data - emails and order history
- Loyalty and marketing tools to bring people back
- Proper support, especially while you're migrating
The best GloriaFood alternatives
1. Flipdish - best overall GloriaFood alternative
Flipdish is the best fit if you want your whole ordering setup in one place. GloriaFood covered the website and not much else. Flipdish has branded restaurant websites, mobile apps, a full restaurant POS system, self-service kiosks and an AI phone ordering agent.
All of those feed into one system. An order from the website, the app, a kiosk or a phone call shows up on the same kitchen screen, and nobody has to type it in again. You keep the customer data. Loyalty, targeted marketing and the AI tools are built in.
If you're coming from GloriaFood, Flipdish migrates your menu and data for you, so you're not rebuilding the menu item by item.
Best for independent restaurants, takeaways, multi-location groups and QSRs.
2. Slerp
Slerp is a UK direct ordering platform for food and drink businesses. The ordering experience is clean and it connects to a range of POS systems. It works well for cafes and food retail. A restaurant will find fewer restaurant-specific features than Flipdish has.
Designed for food retail, independent cafes and bakeries.
3. Hungrrr
Hungrrr makes white-label ordering apps and websites for restaurants and takeaways, with loyalty built in. It's a credible GloriaFood replacement. It's smaller than Flipdish and the product range is narrower.
Designed for independent restaurants and takeaways, mostly in the UK.
4. Other own-brand ordering providers
Plenty of white-label ordering providers appeared as the marketplaces grew. Quality and support vary a lot. Before you sign with one, ask how the POS integration works, what uptime they guarantee, and what happens to your data if they go out of business.

How to migrate from GloriaFood before shutdown
- Pick a new platform. Give yourself time to compare properly, not just move.
- Export your GloriaFood menu and customer data before the shutdown date.
- Set up the new ordering channel - branded site and app, connected to your POS.
- Point your old GloriaFood ordering links at the new channel.
- Tell customers by email, on social media and with signs in the venue.
- Take GloriaFood references off your website and Google Business profile.
Start now and you'll have time to test the new setup properly instead of scrambling in April 2027.
Switching to Flipdish
Flipdish handles GloriaFood migrations regularly. It usually goes menu import, setup, staff training, then a test period before you go live. If you're on GloriaFood and want to see what Flipdish would look like for your business, contact the Flipdish team for a walkthrough.
Your customers already order online. What matters is whether they do it through your channel or someone else's.
