Migrate from GloriaFood before the shutdown

GloriaFood is being retired. This page covers what is shutting down and when, what to export while you still can, and how to rebuild the same setup on Delitero. It is written to be useful even if you pick a different replacement.

What is shutting down, and when

Oracle has discontinued GloriaFood. The notice on gloriafood.com reads: "GloriaFood has been discontinued and is no longer accepting new signups."

The reported final date of service is April 30, 2027. Oracle's public site does not state the date; it appears in the in-app notice shown to account holders ("This offering will be retired on April 30, 2027") and is reported consistently across independent coverage.

What the coverage agrees on:

• New signups are already closed. The product is in wind-down, not being replaced.
• Oracle has not named a successor product and is not providing a migration tool or a data hand-off.
• The white-label partner program that agencies resold is being discontinued along with the product.
• Reported counts of affected restaurants range from 100,000 to about 123,000 across 50+ countries. Oracle has not published a number, so treat these as estimates.

After the final date, ordering pages, QR codes, and the ordering apps stop working, and your account data becomes inaccessible. Multiple independent guides state there is no data retention after shutdown.

Export your data now, whatever you switch to

Do this first, before you evaluate replacements. Once the servers go offline, nothing below is recoverable, and export tooling may degrade as the deadline approaches. Save each file in at least two places.

What to export:

• Your menu. Every category, item, price, description, and modifier group. Migration guides cite a CSV menu export in the admin panel under Setup, then Menu Editor; if the export option is missing on your account, copy the menu out manually before the shutdown.
• Your customer list. Names, emails, phone numbers, order history per customer. This is the single most valuable file you will save. A customer list built over years of takeout orders is irreplaceable.
• Order history and reports. Transaction records with dates and totals, for your accountant if nothing else.
• Photos. Food photos, category images, and your logo at the highest resolution you have. Do not assume you kept the originals.
• Delivery zone settings. Zone boundaries, fees, and minimums, even as screenshots.
• Promotion setups. Codes, discounts, and conditions you want to recreate.

How the equivalent works on Delitero

Delitero is a self-serve online ordering system for restaurants: a hosted ordering page plus an embeddable widget for your own website, with an admin portal, a kitchen app, and a courier app for your own drivers. The mapping from GloriaFood is direct for the core, and honestly incomplete at the edges.

The widget swap is the easy part. Where GloriaFood's button snippet sat in your page, Delitero's widget is a container div plus one script tag:

<div data-delitero-restaurant="your-restaurant" style="height: 640px; max-width: 480px"></div>
<script src="https://order.delitero.com/embed.js" defer></script>

Replace your-restaurant with your ordering page address; the exact snippet with it filled in is in your admin Settings.

The honest differences

Read this section before you decide. GloriaFood and Delitero are not the same deal.

GloriaFood's base product was free. Delitero is not. GloriaFood charged nothing for core ordering and sold add-ons (online payments, the branded app, the sales-optimized website, marketing modules). Delitero charges 5% of each order. That 5% is a commission, and we call it one. The full pricing is: 5% per order, only when you sell. No subscription, no setup fee, no contract. Nothing else. There is no monthly fee, so a slow month costs you nothing, but a busy month costs you 5% of your online sales. If free-forever was the reason you chose GloriaFood, a flat-subscription platform may fit you better at high volume. See the cost breakdown in what online ordering actually costs.

Card processing is Stripe's, not ours. Payments run through your own Stripe account as direct charges. Stripe's standard rate (2.9% + $0.30, varies by card) is paid to Stripe, not to Delitero. If Delitero ever shut down, your Stripe account and your customers would still be yours.

Things GloriaFood had that Delitero does not have today: a website builder, table reservations, a branded mobile app for your restaurant, POS integrations, a white-label program for agencies, and customer accounts. If any of those is load-bearing for you, Delitero is the wrong choice today.

Delitero serves US restaurants today. GloriaFood was global. If your restaurant is outside the US, look elsewhere for now.

There is no structured menu import. You will re-enter your menu by hand in the admin portal. We say this plainly because it is the most common migration question. The honest sizing: a typical menu takes an afternoon.

Menu re-entry walkthrough

1. Join the waitlist. Signups open soon. When they do, creating the account and the restaurant is self-serve: name, phone, and the ordering-page address you want.
2. Connect Stripe. Delitero walks you through Stripe onboarding. Payouts land in your own account from the first order.
3. Open your GloriaFood menu CSV next to the menu editor. The export you saved is your checklist. Work through it category by category.
4. Recreate categories and items. Name, price, description per item. Upload the photos you exported.
5. Rebuild modifier groups. Sizes, toppings, required choices, and per-modifier prices map onto Delitero's modifier groups.
6. Set hours, delivery zones, and promotions from your saved settings.
7. Publish. Publishing is versioned, so you can keep editing drafts and push changes when ready.
8. Swap the snippet on your website and place a test order end to end before you retire the GloriaFood button.

A typical single-location menu is an afternoon of focused entry. Large menus with heavy modifier use take longer; budget accordingly and start from your best sellers.

Timing advice

Do not wait for April 2027. Export your data this month. Rebuild and run both systems in parallel for a week or two, then remove the GloriaFood widget once your direct orders are flowing. The failure mode reported across every migration guide is the same: waiting until the last weeks, then rushing setup with broken links and a stale menu.
