Why GloriaFood restaurants move to Ordering.co
Six reasons that matter when a GloriaFood restaurant plans its next platform.
End of life April 30, 2027
Move before GloriaFood shuts down
GloriaFood's own site states the platform reaches end of life on April 30, 2027, with no stated data archival after that date. Ordering.co gives your menu, customers, and order history a home before the deadline, not after.
20+ products, 1,500+ features
A platform built to grow with your restaurant
GloriaFood is a free ordering widget with paid add-ons bolted on one at a time. Ordering.co is a single platform with more than 20 products and 1,500 features: ordering channels, store operations, delivery, marketing, and loyalty run on one catalog and order flow, so the next stage of your business is a configuration, not a new vendor.
Branded apps included
Branded apps as part of the platform, not a recurring add-on
Web and branded iOS and Android apps run on your domain and developer accounts, with source code on eligible plans. GloriaFood lists its branded mobile apps as a separate paid add-on.
Own Driver App
Deliver with your own drivers
The Driver App and a live delivery dashboard give your team assignment, batching, and proof of delivery for a fleet of your own, alongside connected courier partners. GloriaFood has no driver app of its own and sends dispatch to third-party partners.
Voice, WhatsApp, chat, web
AI ordering agents across the channels customers use
AI Ordering Agents take orders through voice, WhatsApp, chat, and web conversations on your catalog and fulfillment rules. GloriaFood's public material lists no AI ordering channel.
Enterprise-proven
Enterprise-grade reliability behind a single restaurant
The same platform that runs ordering for enterprise groups such as Alsea, across more than 4,000 locations and ten brands, is available to a single restaurant on auto-scaling infrastructure that can process millions of orders a month.
Side by side
Every row is something your restaurant can run on Ordering.co.

Where GloriaFood stops
What a GloriaFood restaurant runs into.
Retiring on April 30, 2027
GloriaFood's own site states the platform reaches end of life on April 30, 2027, with support continuing only through that date and no stated data archival after it.
A free core with a growing bill of add-ons
GloriaFood's free tier covers the ordering widget. A sales-optimized website, promo marketing, online payments, POS, and branded apps are each a separate monthly add-on, and the POS add-on carries a 2-year commitment.
No gift cards or kiosk listed
GloriaFood's site lists no gift cards, no self-ordering kiosk, and no tiered loyalty levels.
No driver app or kitchen display of its own
GloriaFood's public material describes delivery but offers no driver app or kitchen display of its own; those come from third-party partners.
GloriaFood is shutting down on April 30, 2027
GloriaFood's own website states: "GloriaFood will reach end of life on April 30, 2027. We remain committed to supporting existing customers through this date." The notice does not say what happens to restaurant data after that date, so restaurants on GloriaFood need a plan before the deadline, not after it.
Proven with enterprise brands.
The platform you would run on already runs ordering for Alsea, a multi-brand restaurant group with more than 4,000 locations.
Alsea runs WOW+ and ten restaurant brands on one ordering platform.Domino's, Starbucks, Burger King, Vips, and six more brands share one app, one website, call centers, and a delivery operation that assigns drivers automatically.10 brands on WOW+4,262 locationsMexico and ColombiaRead the Alsea storyHow to move from GloriaFood to Ordering.co
GloriaFood's shutdown gives every restaurant on it a deadline. Start with a free trial, trace how one real order moves through your operation, and switch your domain and apps once the checks pass, well ahead of April 30, 2027.
What moves
Menu and catalog
Products, categories, modifiers, prices, and photos, checked against the live GloriaFood menu before the full import.
Store, hours, and delivery zones
Store details, hours, holiday schedules, and delivery zones or fees your GloriaFood account exports.
Customers and order history
Customer and order records that your GloriaFood exports contain, moved before the platform's stated end-of-life date.
Domain and branded apps
Your ordering domain and, if you run a GloriaFood branded app, the same developer accounts and app-store listing where available.
Payments and POS
Payment processing and any POS connection, reconfigured against your existing provider accounts where the provider supports it.
How the move runs
Start for free
Start on Ordering.co's self-serve plan with a free trial and no payment card, using a representative slice of your GloriaFood menu.
Trace one real order
Follow an order from menu to payment, fulfillment, and reporting on GloriaFood today. That path shows what the new setup must keep and what you want to change.
Build the move map
List the menu, store, customer, and order data your GloriaFood account can export, the domain and app listing to point at Ordering.co, and any payment or POS connection to reconfigure.
Configure and test
Confirm a guest can order from the right store and get a confirmation, the team can accept and complete the order, and payments settle correctly before traffic moves.
Switch before the deadline
Point your domain and apps to Ordering.co once the checks pass. Do this well before April 30, 2027, so you are not migrating in the final weeks alongside every other GloriaFood restaurant.
Duration depends on menu size, delivery zones, payment and POS connections, and app-store access. Apple and Google decide app review and approval.
Questions from GloriaFood restaurants
Why choose Ordering.co over GloriaFood?
GloriaFood reaches end of life on April 30, 2027, by its own site's statement, and it is a free widget with add-ons bolted on one at a time. Ordering.co is a single platform, with more than 20 products and 1,500 features, where channels, delivery with your own drivers, marketing, and loyalty run on one catalog and grow with your restaurant.
Is GloriaFood really shutting down?
GloriaFood's own site states: "GloriaFood will reach end of life on April 30, 2027. We remain committed to supporting existing customers through this date." No data archival has been stated for after that date.
Can we try Ordering.co before we commit?
Yes. The self-serve restaurant plan starts with a free trial and no payment card, so you can test your menu and order flow first.
What does Ordering.co cost compared to GloriaFood's add-ons?
Published plans start from $99 per active location a month. GloriaFood's core is free, but its website, promo marketing, payments, POS, and branded app add-ons each carry a separate monthly fee, and the POS add-on has a 2-year commitment. Bring your current GloriaFood add-on bill and we will compare it to your Ordering.co plan.
Can our restaurant get branded apps and its own delivery drivers?
Yes. Branded iOS and Android apps are part of the platform, with source code on eligible plans, and the Driver App and delivery dashboard let you run your own fleet alongside connected courier partners. GloriaFood lists a paid branded-app add-on and no driver app of its own.
Will our menu and customer data move over?
Customer and order records that your GloriaFood account can export, plus your menu, store, and delivery-zone data, are mapped into the move plan. Confirm what GloriaFood's export tools include well before the April 30, 2027 deadline.
Is Ordering.co reliable enough as our restaurant grows?
Yes. Ordering.co runs ordering for enterprise groups such as Alsea across more than 4,000 locations and ten brands, on auto-scaling infrastructure that can process millions of orders a month, so the same platform can grow with a single restaurant.
How long does a move from GloriaFood take?
It depends on menu size, delivery zones, payment and POS connections, and app-store access. There is no standard timeline; the plan for your restaurant sets the sequence and dates, starting with a free trial.
