Alternatives
GloriaFood alternatives, compared honestly
GloriaFood is discontinued and reportedly shuts down on April 30, 2027, so every restaurant on it needs a replacement.
We build one of the alternatives on this list, so read us with that in mind. The comparison below is honest anyway: every platform here is genuinely good at something, several of them beat us outright for specific restaurants, and we say where. Delitero is not affiliated with any company named on this page. Pricing was checked on 2026-07-10 against each vendor's published pricing; vendors change prices, so confirm on their sites before deciding.

|---|---|---|---|

| UpMenu | Subscription | $49 to $169 per month | Budget-predictable subscription with lots of features |
| Owner.com | Subscription (+ optional per-order fee) | $249 or $499 per month | High-volume restaurants that want a full marketing engine |

Details per platform below.
Delitero
What it is: a self-serve ordering system: hosted ordering page, an embed widget for your own website, admin portal, kitchen app with an escalation watchdog, courier app for your own drivers, promotions, and scheduled orders. Payments run through your own Stripe account; Delitero never holds your money.
Pricing: 5% per order, only when you sell. No subscription, no setup fee, no contract. Nothing else. Card processing is Stripe's standard rate (2.9% + $0.30, varies by card), paid to Stripe, not us. The 5% is a commission; we say so plainly, because "free" ordering systems usually are not.
Where it wins: zero fixed cost. A slow month costs $0. You own the Stripe account and the customer relationship, so there is no lock-in leverage over you.
Where it loses, honestly: it is the youngest product on this list. No POS integrations, no customer accounts, no branded mobile app, no website builder, no white-label, no structured menu import (you re-enter your menu; a typical menu takes an afternoon). US restaurants only today. And at high volume, 5% costs more than a flat subscription: above roughly $3,400 a month in online sales, UpMenu's unlimited plan is cheaper; above roughly $10,000 a month, Owner.com's flat plan is cheaper. If you sell that much online every month, run the math before picking us.
UpMenu
What it is: a mature subscription ordering system with a website builder, QR menus, reservations, and marketing tools.
Pricing (published): Basic $49/month (75 orders), Standard $89/month (210 orders), Premium $169/month (unlimited orders); extra orders $1.90 each; no setup fee; month-to-month. Removing UpMenu branding requires Premium. A branded mobile app is a $49/month add-on.
Where it wins: predictable cost, strong feature list for the price, and the cheapest route to "unlimited orders for a flat fee".
Where to be careful: order caps on the lower tiers mean a good month can push you over plan, and the features you probably want (marketing automation, API, no vendor branding) sit in the $169 tier.
Owner.com
What it is: the heavyweight. Website, ordering, branded app, SEO pages, email and text marketing, loyalty, and POS integrations, sold as a done-for-you growth system.
Pricing (published): Flexible plan $249/month plus a 5% restaurant fee per order, or Flat Rate $499/month with no per-order restaurant fee. On both plans, guests pay a 5% order support fee on every direct order. Month-to-month, cancel anytime. Third-party reports put implementation at about $1,000 plus $299 per additional location; Owner's own pricing page states no implementation fee either way, so get it in writing.
Where it wins: if you do serious online volume and want one vendor to run the whole growth machine, this is the strongest product in the category, and at $5,000+ monthly online sales the flat plan is priced well.
Where to be careful: it is the most expensive option here, and your guests pay a 5% fee on every order, which is a real menu-price increase from the diner's side.
ChowNow
What it is: one of the longest-standing direct-ordering companies, with a diner-facing app network and marketplace listing management alongside your own-site ordering.
Pricing (published): Launch at $229/month billed annually or $249 month to month, Grow at $319 or $349, Elevate at $409 or $449, each "Starting At" per location, plus a one-time setup fee of $119 to $499 and card processing at 2.95% + $0.29. ChowNow takes no percentage of direct orders, though a $0.99 diner-paid service charge applies by default (restaurants can opt out) and orders through ChowNow's Discovery Network channels carry a 15.5% marketing fee.
Where it wins: brand trust, a real diner network, and years of restaurant-only focus.
Where to be careful: the per-channel fees differ (direct vs marketplace vs Discovery Network), so map your expected order mix before comparing totals.
Square Online
What it is: online ordering as part of the Square ecosystem, with an optional free tier.
Pricing (published): Free at $0/month with online card processing at 3.3% + $0.30, Plus at $49/month and Premium at $149/month per location with online processing at 2.9% + $0.30. These are Square-wide subscription plans (introduced late 2025), not ordering-only prices; a custom-priced Square Pro tier exists for businesses processing over $250K a year.
Where it wins: genuinely free to start, and if you already run Square POS the integration story beats everyone on this page, including us.
Where to be careful: the free tier's higher processing rate (3.3% vs 2.9%) is a percentage fee in disguise; on the free plan you are effectively paying about 0.4% extra per order versus paid plans. Ordering pages are template-constrained.
Fleksa
What it is: a restaurant operating system from Germany: website, ordering, POS, QR ordering, and reservations in one contract.
Pricing (published): Essentials €99/month; Bundle €199 to €300/month; a Flex plan at 8% per order with a €50/month minimum; onboarding from €299 per product group.
Where it wins: European restaurants get an all-in-one stack with local payment and fiscal support that US-focused tools do not offer. Fleksa is also actively courting GloriaFood migrants with dedicated guides.
Where to be careful: the company is Germany-origin and its canonical pricing page is in euros; the US is a newer expansion market. Fleksa does serve US restaurants (Fleksa, Inc. operates from Austin, Texas) and its US-targeted pages quote Essentials at $99 and Bundle at $199 per month.
Deonde (Ressto)
What it is: a budget ordering platform. The Ressto product is the restaurant-facing tier.
Pricing (published): Basic free (up to 100 orders/month, 50 menu items, cash payment only, Ressto branding), Growth $39/month per restaurant (unlimited orders, custom domain, online payment gateways, branding removed), Scale $99/month (adds branded iOS/Android app, loyalty, delivery management).
Where it wins: the lowest paid price on this list, and a free tier that actually exists (with real limits).
Where to be careful: the free tier cannot take online payments (cash only), and the brand has less track record than the established names here.
Menuro
What it is: a white-label restaurant app platform: branded native mobile app, ordering, loyalty, and marketing.
Pricing: not published, and no quoted ranges circulate publicly. Menuro quotes per restaurant based on chosen modules and location count; it charges no percentage per order, bills month-to-month, and states typical go-live in 1 to 2 weeks.
Where it wins: if a branded mobile app is the centerpiece of what you want, that is their specialty.
Where to be careful: unpublished pricing means you cannot budget without a sales conversation.

How to choose
- Money stays yours fastest with your own merchant account. Ask every vendor who holds the funds and what happens to your customer data if you leave.
- Zero fixed cost (Delitero) wins at low and variable volume; flat subscriptions (UpMenu, Owner.com) win at high steady volume. Do the arithmetic on your real monthly online sales, not your best month.
- Whatever you pick, export your GloriaFood data first. The migration guide covers what to save and how.
