GloriaFood ends April 30, 2027. Here is how to move your restaurant
GloriaFood's own home page says the service will reach end of life on April 30, 2027, so you need a GloriaFood alternative before then. This page lists what to move and how pickup.kitchen handles each piece, from the menu to your Google listing. Most kitchens can be live in a day, so you can start now and switch your links when you are ready.
- Menu import from a photo or PDF, then check each dish
- A link-by-link list, including your Google Business Profile
- A move plan with room to test before April 30, 2027
Free onboarding. Pay as you use. No monthly fee for ordering.

What GloriaFood has said
GloriaFood's home page says GloriaFood will reach end of life on April 30, 2027. It says it remains committed to supporting existing customers through that date. It says Oracle does not offer a direct replacement. It names FoodAmigos, a restaurant technology provider, and says FoodAmigos has onboarding resources for GloriaFood customers who want to move.
We checked GloriaFood's pages in November 2026 and could not find a statement about what happens to your links and data after the date. Plan as if both stop working. Read the notice on gloriafood.com yourself, then leave time to test.
What changes when you leave a free plan
GloriaFood's free plan lists unlimited orders and locations, no commission per order, no monthly fee, no setup fee and no contract. We will not pretend pickup.kitchen matches that. Onboarding is free and there is no monthly fee for ordering, but we charge 10% per order. On card orders the guest pays that 10% at checkout.
That 10% pays for the pieces below. You get your own site, a free listing on pickup.kitchen, the kitchen screen, the counter, the customer list, meal plans and the driver app. If you only want a free checkout page, compare options. Square Online has a free plan with no monthly fee and 2.8% plus 30 cents per payment on Square's Canadian pricing page.
GloriaFood also has table reservations, QR code ordering for tables and hotel ordering, plus a paid POS. pickup.kitchen is built for takeout, delivery, counter orders and meal plans. It is not built for table service or reservations. If you take bookings, plan a separate tool for them.
What to move, and how pickup.kitchen does each piece
Go through this list with your GloriaFood dashboard open. Each line is a thing a guest or your cook uses today.
- Menu: use a PDF, a printed menu or a screenshot of your GloriaFood menu. Send the photo or PDF and pickup.kitchen reads dishes and prices into a list. You check each line and fix what it got wrong.
- Hours and closures: set open days, slot length, orders per slot, an order cutoff and closed dates. A slot closes when it is full, and you can mark the day sold out.
- Taking orders: GloriaFood's app on a phone or tablet becomes a kitchen screen in a browser. Tickets arrive with a sound. The cook taps Preparing and Completed, and the guest hears when it is ready.
- Payments: GloriaFood's online payments add-on pays into your own gateway. pickup.kitchen pays into your own Stripe account. Connect Stripe before you go live.
- Delivery: turn delivery on and guests choose pickup or delivery at checkout. If you draw delivery areas in GloriaFood, tell us before you switch so we can check your delivery setup fits.
- Customers: GloriaFood's pages we checked do not describe an export. Look in your dashboard and keep a copy of every customer list you can get. If you keep customers in a spreadsheet, send it to us and we add them. Email only people who agreed to hear from you.
- Your own domain: if you own one, we can point it at your pickup.kitchen site.
Every link that points to GloriaFood
GloriaFood's own page tells you to paste its smart ordering link into your Google Business Profile, Yelp and TripAdvisor. It names Facebook's Start Order button and your Instagram and TikTok bios too. Its See Menu and Order button sits on your website. Each of those needs the new link, yourname.pickup.kitchen.
For Google, open your Business Profile and choose Food ordering. Add a link for pickup.kitchen, mark it preferred for pickup and delivery, and remove the GloriaFood link. Google's help page lists those steps. Do this last, once a test order has worked.
- Google Business Profile: the Food ordering link.
- Your website: replace the GloriaFood button with a link to your pickup.kitchen site.
- Facebook: the Start Order button.
- Instagram and TikTok: the link in your bio.
- Yelp, TripAdvisor and any menu PDF or flyer that carries the old link or QR code.
If pickup.kitchen is not the right fit
Oracle names FoodAmigos. Square Online has a free plan. If you need table reservations or hotel ordering, look for a tool that has them. Ask each one the same four questions. What does it cost per order? What does it cost per month? Who owns the customer list? What happens to your data if it ever ends?
pickup.kitchen is for any food business that takes pickup or delivery orders: restaurants, cafes, bakeries, caterers, meal-prep companies, food trucks and home kitchens.
