GloriaFood Is Closing: A Single-Site Plan

A large share of GloriaFood’s users were single-site independents in exactly the markets Devfood is priced for — a café in Pune, a pizzeria in Curitiba, a lechon counter in Cebu — on the free core plan, with a widget on a Facebook page and a link on WhatsApp. This post is for that restaurant. It sets out what is actually happening, what a one-location move looks like, and what it costs in your own currency.

The facts, with their sources

Two dates are in circulation, so start here.

• GloriaFood is discontinued and no longer accepting new signups. Its own home page says so (gloriafood.com, checked 21 August 2026).
• Full end of service is scheduled for 31 March 2027. That is Oracle’s statement — Oracle owns GloriaFood — on its public food-and-beverage page (oracle.com/food-beverage, checked 31 August 2026).
• You will see 30 April 2027 elsewhere. That date comes from an earlier in-product notice. Oracle’s own current statement supersedes it, and it is the date we plan against.
• There is no migration tool. Oracle has not announced an export-and-move path. Menus, customer lists and ordering links have to be rebuilt on whatever comes next.

After the service ends, widgets, order apps and links stop working. Every reorder link, QR code and bookmark pointing at GloriaFood dies with it.

What a single-site move actually involves

For one restaurant there are three jobs, and none of them is technical.

The menu is rebuilt. Send us a link to your current GloriaFood menu — a link is enough — and we set up items, modifiers, photos and delivery zones on your Devfood store. You check it; you do not type it.

You run both in parallel. Your Devfood store goes live alongside GloriaFood. You switch the link on your website and social pages, replace the QR code on the counter and the packaging, and tell regulars where the app is. No dark days; GloriaFood keeps taking orders until you are ready to turn it off.

Your regulars form a new habit. This is the part with a deadline. A customer who has bookmarked your GloriaFood link needs time to install your app or save your new link before the old one stops working, and every month you wait is a month less of that.

The rescue plan

Devfood publishes a migration price for GloriaFood restaurants, and it is set up for exactly the single-site case:

• One location, at the same monthly price as the standard plan for one to three locations in your market.
• Locked for 12 months from the day you start.
• Setup included — menu migration, domain, go-live QA — on monthly billing as well as annual. On the standard plan setup is included only when you pay annually; the rescue plan is the one deliberate exception, because the migration is the setup and charging for it would price the rescue above what you were paying.
• Zero commission and unlimited orders, as on every Devfood plan.
• Includes web and app-style ordering, loyalty, and the four connected apps — customer, restaurant, driver and admin.
• Excludes the native iOS and Android apps in the stores. That is the upgrade, available any time at the standard 1–3 location price for your market, and it is the thing GloriaFood’s free core never included.
• Expires on 31 March 2027, with the shutdown. It is a migration price, not a discount, and a rescue price that outlived the event would quietly become the list price.

The price, in your currency

Devfood sets each market’s price against what restaurants there already pay, not by converting a dollar figure — the method is in why ordering software should not be priced by exchange rate. The rescue price per month for a single location is:

Markets without a published row are quoted in US dollars at their band’s rate. Your customers keep paying you in your local currency through your own payment gateway, as they do today.

Is it worth it against a free plan?

The honest comparison is not “free versus ₹2,100”. It is “free until 31 March 2027, then nothing” versus a channel that keeps running. GloriaFood’s free core is ending whether or not you move; the only question is what replaces it.

Against a marketplace, the rescue price is a commission calculation. A single restaurant in India remitting 20% on ₹1 lakh a month of marketplace orders is paying ₹20,000 a month for the privilege. Moving a fraction of those regulars to a channel that costs ₹2,100 flat is arithmetic, and it is worked through in direct ordering math for an Indian restaurant if you want to plug in your own numbers.

What you gain that GloriaFood never had

The free core covered pickup and delivery ordering. The rescue plan carries, in the base subscription, the things GloriaFood sold as add-ons or did not offer at all:

• Two-way POS sync with Clover, Square and Toast, if you run one of them
• A driver app with auto-dispatch, plus DoorDash Drive, Uber Direct, Shipday and Nash where they operate
• A loyalty wallet, cashback, vouchers and promotions
• Multi-language storefronts, including right-to-left
• 75+ built-in reports with CSV export

And the upgrade path — your own branded apps in the App Store and Google Play — is one step away when the regulars have moved.

What to do this week

1. Book a demo on a live store and map your GloriaFood setup onto it: menu, order types, delivery zones.
2. Send the menu link. The rebuild is our job.
3. Pick the date you switch the links and QR codes, and give your regulars a month either side of it.

The full migration guide, with the comparison table and the form to start, is at Migrate from GloriaFood. The deadline is fixed by Oracle; the only variable is how much time your customers get to follow you.
