The best GloriaFood alternatives in 2026 are Orders.co, Square Online, and DoorDash Online Ordering, because each replaces GloriaFood’s ordering page for $69 a month or less, with no commission on direct orders. Orders.co ranks first because it moves your menu for you.
Paste your GloriaFood link into the GloriaFood menu migration tool, and it builds a new ordering website in under 30 seconds. The $69 Operator plan then adds a cloud POS, DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub integration, loyalty, and delivery dispatch. Square Online and DoorDash Online Ordering cost $0 a month, and you set them up yourself.
Among the paid options, ChowNow and Menufy are ordering-focused subscriptions, Owner.com leads with websites and marketing, and Toast Online Ordering fits restaurants already on Toast. Oracle has stopped accepting new GloriaFood restaurants, and the platform reaches end of service in spring 2027.
Notices in circulation give March 31 or April 30, 2027, so plan to be fully moved by March. We compared all seven on migration effort, monthly cost, fees, and what each one includes, using prices checked on November 10, 2026.
Key Takeaways
- Best overall, Orders.co: your GloriaFood menu moves over from a single link, and the $69 Operator plan includes a cloud POS, third-party app integration, a branded ordering website, loyalty, and Flex Delivery Dispatch, with 24/7 support. See Orders.co POS pricing.
- Best free options: Square Online and DoorDash Online Ordering charge $0 a month. You pay card processing, and on DoorDash courier deliveries your guests pay delivery and service fees.
- Ordering-focused subscriptions: Menufy from $149 a month on an annual agreement plus a $1.75 convenience fee per order, and ChowNow from $229 a month on annual billing plus a $119 to $499 setup fee.
- What GloriaFood really cost: card payments, the sales website, and advanced promotions ran $57 a month in add-ons, and the GloriaFood POS added $49 more.
- Deadline: finish your move by March 2027, and export your customer data before you switch off GloriaFood.

Total: 100%.
1. Orders.co: Best GloriaFood Alternative for Small and Mid-Size Restaurants
- Price and terms: $69 per month (Operator), $199 per month (Boost), and Multi-Location by quote. Software-only plans start at $99 per month if you keep your current POS. No long-term contract.
- GloriaFood migration: AI import from your GloriaFood link in under 30 seconds, then live in about two hours after an onboarding call, depending on menu size.
- Card processing: 2.6% + 10 cents per transaction on the Standard merchant plan, with Split and Cash Discount options.
- Support: 24/7 support and a dedicated menu team.
Orders.co is a restaurant POS and online ordering platform built for independent restaurants and small chains. For GloriaFood users, the starting point is the GloriaFood menu migration tool. Paste your public GloriaFood ordering link, and the AI scans your categories, items, descriptions, prices, images, and modifier structure, including quantity-based modifier logic, then builds a new ordering website in under 30 seconds. You never share your GloriaFood login.
From there, the onboarding team checks your prices, modifier rules, ordering hours, payment settings, and pickup and delivery options with you. A reviewed site can typically go live within about two hours of that call. The $69 Operator plan then runs the rest of the restaurant: a cloud POS, DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub orders in one queue, a branded ordering website, a loyalty program, and Flex Delivery Dispatch.
“Restaurant menus are not flat files,” said Arsen Stepanyan, co-founder and CEO of Orders.co. “A pizza can carry size rules, crust choices, topping groups, and quantity limits. A successful migration has to preserve those relationships, not simply copy the words on the page. The AI handles the first pass, and the restaurant reviews the result before it goes live.”
What moves from GloriaFood, and what doesn’t
| GloriaFood data | Moves with the builder? | What to do |
| Categories, items, descriptions, and prices | Yes | Review them before launch |
| Item photos | Yes, where GloriaFood has them | Add photos for items that had none; the AI does not invent them |
| Modifier groups and rules | Yes, mostly as built | Check pizzas, combos, and any minimum or maximum rules |
| Promotions built as menu categories | Yes | Recreate coupon codes and discounts in your dashboard |
| Sold-out or hidden items | Imported as available | Mark them unavailable before launch |
| Customer list and order history | No | Export them from GloriaFood if your plan allows, and ask Orders.co to import the list |
| Coupons and loyalty settings | No | Set them up again in Orders.co |
| Your domain | Stays yours | Redirect it to your new Orders.co URL when you are ready |
Is Orders.co right for you?
Choose it if you want your GloriaFood menu moved for you and one system for ordering, POS, delivery apps, and loyalty at $69 a month. Skip it if you rely on GloriaFood’s free table reservations, since Orders.co does not include a reservations system, or you only need a free pickup page and nothing else.
Orders.co evidence
- What the $69 plan covers: cloud POS, third-party app integration, a branded ordering website, loyalty, and Flex Delivery Dispatch.
- Proof: Two Maine Guys Augusta generated $488,554 in website sales from October 2023 to June 2026, and Prego Pizzeria made its direct ordering website its number one pizza delivery channel.
- Strengths: AI menu import, 24/7 support, hardware from $499, and the option to keep your current POS.
Orders.co: watch out for
- Table reservations are not included. GloriaFood offered them free, so plan a separate reservations tool if you take bookings.
- Customer lists, coupons, and loyalty settings do not move automatically. Export what you can before GloriaFood shuts down.
- Automated SMS and email marketing sits in the $199 Boost plan, not the $69 Operator plan.
What to ask Orders.co on the demo
“Can you import my GloriaFood link on this call, then show me my most complicated item with its modifiers and prices?”

2. Square Online: Best Free GloriaFood Alternative for Restaurants on Square
- Price and terms: $0 (Free) or $49 per month (Plus), per location. No contract.
- Per-order costs: an online card rate of 3.3% + 30 cents on Free, or 2.9% + 30 cents on Plus.
- Menu setup: self-serve.
- Support: 24/7 phone support on Premium ($149 a month) only.
Square Online gives every Square plan an online ordering site with pickup and local delivery options, so a restaurant already running Square at the counter can replace GloriaFood without adding a vendor. Square Plus adds loyalty, marketing tools, and lower card rates for $49 a month, and Square lists integrations with DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub.
The trade-offs are setup and support. You rebuild your GloriaFood menu yourself, and phone support on the Free plan lasts only 90 days.
Is Square Online right for you?
Choose it if you already use Square POS and want a free ordering page you can set up yourself. Skip it if you want someone to rebuild your menu for you, or 24/7 phone support without paying for Premium.
Square Online evidence
- Strengths: a free plan, no contract, and counter and online orders in one dashboard.
Square Online: watch out for
- On a $25 online order, 3.3% + 30 cents is about $1.13 in fees, compared with about $1.03 at the Plus rate.
What to ask Square on the sales call
“Can I import my GloriaFood menu, or do I build it item by item, and what support comes with my plan?”
Sources: Square plans announcement, NerdWallet’s Square review
3. DoorDash Online Ordering: Best Free Option With Built-In Couriers
- Price and terms: $0 per month, no commission, and no cancellation penalties.
- Per-order costs: 2.9% + 30 cents in processing. On Dasher deliveries, guests pay a $3.99 delivery fee and a 10% service fee.
- Menu setup: self-serve, and DoorDash says you can launch in under an hour.
- Upgrades: paid Commerce Platform tiers, up to $249 a month, add marketing tools and a branded app.
DoorDash Online Ordering, formerly called Storefront, adds commission-free pickup and delivery ordering to your own website and sends orders to your DoorDash tablet or POS. It is the closest match to GloriaFood’s free model, with one difference: delivery comes built in through DoorDash’s courier network, and you can use your own drivers instead.
The cost shifts to your guests on courier deliveries. Pickup orders carry no customer fees, but Dasher deliveries add a delivery fee and a service fee at checkout.
Is DoorDash Online Ordering right for you?
Choose it if you want a free direct ordering page and couriers without hiring drivers. Skip it if you do not want delivery and service fees added to your guests’ direct orders.
DoorDash Online Ordering evidence
- Strengths: $0 a month, no commission, a large courier network, and a self-delivery option.
DoorDash Online Ordering: watch out for
- On a $30 delivery order, your guest pays $3.99 plus a $3.00 service fee on top of the food.
What to ask DoorDash on the sales call
“What will my guests pay on a typical delivery order, and can I set my own delivery fee when I use my own drivers?”
Sources: DoorDash Online Ordering
4. ChowNow: Best for Commission-Free Ordering With Branded Apps
- Price and terms: Launch $229, Grow $319, and Elevate $409 per month on annual billing, or $249, $349, and $449 month to month.
- One-time setup: $119 to $499.
- Per-order costs: 2.95% + 29 cents in processing, and Flex Delivery at $7.98 per order.
- Extras: branded apps carry a $99 annual Apple developer fee.
ChowNow is a commission-free ordering platform for independent restaurants. Its plans include direct online ordering, an SEO-optimized website, branded mobile apps, and listings on its commission-free marketplace and discovery network across Google, Apple Maps, and Yelp.
It is a step up in price from GloriaFood. The entry plan costs $229 a month on an annual commitment, before setup and processing, and it focuses on online ordering rather than running your counter.
Is ChowNow right for you?
Choose it if you want branded apps and a discovery network, and your direct volume supports a $229 to $409 monthly plan. Skip it if you want a POS and delivery-app orders under the same subscription.
ChowNow evidence
- Strengths: a mature product for independents, branded apps, and discovery network listings.
ChowNow: watch out for
- The setup fee runs up to $499, and the lowest monthly prices require an annual commitment.
What to ask ChowNow on the sales call
“Which setup fee applies to my menu, and what happens if I leave before the annual term ends?”
Sources: ChowNow pricing on Capterra
5. Owner.com: Best for Website-Led Restaurant Marketing
- Price and terms: Flexible at $249 per month plus a 5% restaurant fee per order, or Flat Rate at $499 per month. Month to month.
- Guest fees: on the Flat Rate plan, guests pay a 5% order support fee at checkout.
- Menu setup: Owner builds your website.
Owner.com builds AI-generated restaurant websites with online ordering, a branded app, and email and text marketing. Its focus is growth: a stronger website and automated campaigns that bring guests back.
It sits at the top of this list on price. Owner recommends its $499 Flat Rate plan once online sales pass about $5,000 a month.
Is Owner.com right for you?
Choose it if your biggest gap is a weak website and you want marketing handled for you. Skip it if you want to stay close to what GloriaFood cost, or to avoid fees on your guests’ orders.
Owner.com evidence
- Strengths: AI-built websites, a branded app, automated marketing, and month-to-month terms.
Owner.com: watch out for
- At $5,000 a month in online sales, the Flexible plan costs $249 plus $250 in order fees, the same $499 as Flat Rate.
What to ask Owner.com on the sales call
“Which plan fits my monthly online sales, and exactly what fees will my guests see at checkout?”
Sources: Owner.com pricing
6. Menufy: Best for a Flat-Fee Ordering Site Built for You
- Price and terms: $149 per month on a 12-month agreement, or $179 month to month.
- Per-order costs: a $1.75 convenience fee per order, paid by your guest or absorbed by you, plus card processing.
- Menu setup: Menufy builds your website.
- Support: a 24/7 team.
Menufy builds a custom website with direct ordering and automated marketing for a flat monthly fee, and it says it serves more than 25,000 restaurants. For a GloriaFood restaurant that wants someone else to handle the site, it is one of the simpler swaps.
The per-order fee is the number to price. At 600 orders a month, a $1.75 fee adds up to $1,050, whether your guests pay it or you do.
Is Menufy right for you?
Choose it if you want a managed ordering website for a flat fee and are comfortable with a guest convenience fee. Skip it if you want no per-order fees on direct orders.
Menufy evidence
- Strengths: a website built for you, automated marketing, and a 24/7 team.
Menufy: watch out for
- Get the convenience fee and your card processing rate in writing before you sign.
What to ask Menufy on the sales call
“Who pays the convenience fee on my orders, and what card processing rate will I pay?”
Sources: Menufy
7. Toast Online Ordering: Best for Restaurants Already on Toast
- Price and terms: online ordering is a paid add-on to a Toast POS plan, which starts at $0 (Starter Kit) or $69 per month (Point of Sale). Contracts run two to three years.
- Per-order costs: 3.50% + 15 cents on online orders with hardware bought upfront.
- Delivery: Toast Delivery Services from $6.99 per delivery plus a $1.49 Toast service fee.
- Menu setup: part of Toast’s POS setup, with installation billed at $800 per day remote or $1,000 per day on-site.
If your counter already runs on Toast, its online ordering keeps menus, payments, and reporting in one system. Toast also integrates directly with DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub.
For a GloriaFood restaurant that is not on Toast, it is the largest change on this list: new hardware, Toast processing, and a multi-year agreement.
Is Toast Online Ordering right for you?
Choose it if you already use Toast POS. Skip it if you are not on Toast and only need to replace GloriaFood’s ordering page.
Toast Online Ordering evidence
- Strengths: one system for counter and online orders, direct delivery-app integrations, and in-house delivery services.
Toast Online Ordering: watch out for
- Online ordering is quoted separately, so get the add-on price in writing before you commit.
What to ask Toast on the sales call
“What does online ordering add to my current Toast bill, and does it change my contract term?”

What GloriaFood Cost vs. What $69 Gets You
GloriaFood’s basic ordering was free, but most restaurants paid for add-ons. Here is how its paid services line up against the Orders.co Operator plan.
| What you used on GloriaFood | GloriaFood price | Orders.co Operator ($69 a month) |
| Online ordering and table reservations | Free | Online ordering included; no reservations |
| Online card payments | $29 a month, plus processing | Included with an Orders.co merchant account |
| Sales Optimized Website | $9 a month | Branded ordering website included |
| Advanced Promo Marketing | $19 a month | Loyalty program included; SMS and email on Boost |
| Restaurant POS | $49 a month per location | Cloud-based POS included |
| Branded mobile apps | $59 a month | Not part of the Operator plan |
A GloriaFood restaurant that took card payments online, ran the sales website, and used advanced promotions paid $57 a month in add-ons. Adding the GloriaFood POS brought that to $106. The Operator plan costs $69 and also includes third-party app integration, so DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub orders land in the same queue, and Flex Delivery Dispatch, so you can use your own drivers, AI dispatch, or both.
Restaurants that process more than $30,000 a month in cards can qualify for a free hardware unit, and the Tablet POS bundle costs $499. If you plan to keep your current POS, Orders.co’s software-only plans start at $99 a month. Compare Orders.co plans.
How to Switch From GloriaFood Without Losing Orders
A clean switch takes days, not months, if you work in this order.
- Export what GloriaFood will not hand over later. Download your customer list if your plan allows it, plus order reports and the details of any promotions.
- Clean up your GloriaFood menu. The builder reads what is published, so fix old prices and remove retired items first.
- Paste your link into the builder. Use the Orders.co AI Website Builder, then review the first version of your new site.
- Book your onboarding call. Open your merchant account and confirm prices, modifiers, hours, payments, and pickup and delivery settings.
- Test with real orders. Place a pickup order and a delivery order, and confirm tickets print and notifications arrive.
- Move your links. Redirect your domain, then update your Google Business Profile, social profiles, QR codes, and printed menus.
- Turn off GloriaFood last. Switch it off only after the new site has taken real orders, and before March 2027.

How to Evaluate a GloriaFood Alternative Before You Sign
The right replacement moves your menu with little rework, shows every fee up front, and leaves your customer data and domain in your hands. Check these six points on any demo:
- Ask whether it can import your GloriaFood menu, or whether you rebuild it item by item.
- Test your most complex item, such as a half-and-half pizza or a combo, on the new menu.
- Get every fee in writing: subscription, setup, per-order, processing, and what guests pay at checkout.
- Ask who owns your customer data and your domain.
- Ask how delivery works: your own drivers, couriers, or both.
- Ask for the contract length and the cancellation terms.
For a head-to-head on features, see our GloriaFood vs Orders.co comparison.
Red Flags When Choosing a GloriaFood Replacement
- A “free” plan that adds fees to your guests’ orders.
- Per-order fees that grow as your sales grow.
- A setup fee to rebuild a menu you already have.
- No way to import your GloriaFood menu.
- An advertised price that requires an annual agreement.
- A shutdown discount that locks you into a multi-year contract.

| A restaurant keeping its current POS that needs a new ordering site | Orders.co software plans, or Square Online if you use Square | From $99/mo, or $0 on Square Free |
| A pickup-only spot that wants the lowest cost | Square Online Free, DoorDash Online Ordering | $0 plus processing |
| A restaurant that wants branded apps and a discovery network | ChowNow | $229 to $409/mo |
| A restaurant whose biggest gap is its website and marketing | Owner.com | $249 + 5% or $499/mo |
| A restaurant already on Toast POS | Toast Online Ordering | Quoted add-on |
FAQ
Will my GloriaFood site keep working while I set up Orders.co?
Yes. The two sites are not connected, so GloriaFood keeps taking orders until you switch. A price or item change you make in GloriaFood after your new site is built will not carry over, so make it in both places or pause menu changes until launch.
What happens to my GloriaFood data after the shutdown?
Plan on losing anything you do not export. Migration providers report that Oracle has not announced any data retention after the shutdown, so download your customer list and order reports while you still can, then send the customer list to Orders.co to import.
Does Orders.co handle pizza menus with half-and-half toppings?
Yes. Orders.co has a basic menu builder for simple menus and a nested modifier tool for complex ones, like pizzerias, where options and prices change with size. The GloriaFood builder maps quantity-based modifier logic, so check your build-your-own pizzas during the onboarding review.
Can I use my own delivery drivers after leaving GloriaFood?
Yes. Flex Delivery Dispatch lets you use your own drivers, AI dispatch, or both in one shift. AI-dispatched deliveries cost $7.50 for the first five miles plus $1 for each additional mile, and on website orders the customer pays the delivery fee at checkout.
What hardware do I need to run the $69 Operator plan?
The Tablet POS bundle costs $499 and includes the tablet, stand, cash drawer, Epson ticket printer, and card reader. The AIO POS bundle costs $999 and includes a built-in ticket printer and a customer screen.
The Bottom Line
Every GloriaFood restaurant has to move by spring 2027. Square Online and DoorDash Online Ordering can replace the ordering page for free. ChowNow, Menufy, and Owner.com replace it with a paid ordering or marketing platform. Toast Online Ordering fits restaurants already on Toast.
Orders.co rebuilds your GloriaFood menu from your link in under 30 seconds, then runs your POS, delivery-app orders, loyalty, and dispatch for $69 a month, with 24/7 support behind it.
