3 GloriaFood alternatives before the 2027 shutdown
Prepare for GloriaFood’s 30 April 2027 retirement. Build your next ordering channel with ninito and connect menus, kitchen production and guest loyalty.
Turn a required move into a better ordering experience
GloriaFood is retiring on 30 April 2027. That gives restaurants a clear reason to plan the next ordering experience now. The opportunity goes beyond changing a button on the website. Connect the order to the kitchen and give guests a reason to choose your own channel again.
GloriaFood’s service notice gives 30 April 2027 as the end-of-life date. Include website buttons, Google Business Profile links, QR codes and social profiles in the move so guests reach the new ordering page.
Use the move to connect more of the restaurant
A replacement ordering page solves the immediate deadline. Connecting that page to your menu, kitchen and loyalty programme solves a larger operational problem. Decide which outcome you want before transferring the first dish.
Start the move with your busiest products and most-used ordering links. Prepare the menu, test payment and pickup, then update the links guests already know. A planned handover protects the direct ordering habit you have already built.
1. ninito makes direct ordering part of your restaurant
ninito joins your ordering website with restaurant menus, kitchen workflows and native loyalty. Guests can find your food, place an order and return for rewards, while the team works with a connected production flow. ninito’s menu engineers turn the menu you already have into a working ordering flow. Restaurant experience guides the categories, choices and kitchen information, with an included support team behind the launch.
Keep the cost of a direct order visible. ninito takes 0% payment commission and includes guest SMS without an extra charge. Compare online payment processing and any fixed fee on your real baskets, then include the cost of the separate tools you would otherwise need.
- Restaurant website and direct ordering under your brand
- Printed or digital menus prepared by ninito’s menu engineers
- Orders connected to the restaurant’s kitchen workflow
- Native loyalty with points, levels and rewards
2. Flipdish
Flipdish lists restaurant websites, online ordering and a website-plus-mobile-app package.
3. Wolt Storefront for a narrower ordering change
Wolt Storefront’s Norwegian offering provides a branded ordering destination linked from the restaurant’s own channels. It is a different proposition from replacing the restaurant POS, and different again from joining Wolt’s marketplace.
If you already use Wolt, ask whether this route simplifies your particular handover. Check menu ownership, customer support, payment terms and what happens to a collection order when the restaurant is busy. A direct ordering page does not by itself bring the same discovery audience as a marketplace listing.
Give every old ordering link a new destination
Choose a quiet service window for the final rehearsal. Place and refund a real test order using an approved method, verify the kitchen receives it correctly and confirm the settlement record. Test on a phone using mobile data as well as the restaurant network.
Keep the launch checklist with one named owner, including old links, historical reports and prepaid balances. ninito’s team helps you prepare the new ordering flow, with a further commitment on Pro and Enterprise. The 100% value guarantee means you do not pay for the system if ninito does not create enough value to cover what you pay for it.
Questions worth asking
When does GloriaFood retire?
GloriaFood’s service notice states 30 April 2027, with support for existing customers through that date.
Do we have to replace our entire POS?
Not necessarily. First decide whether you need a replacement ordering channel or a wider restaurant-system change. Compare the integration and support responsibilities for either route.
