Planning a move from GloriaFood? Compare the current scope.
OrderScribe provides a bilingual QR menu, direct delivery and pickup ordering, a restaurant dashboard, and 0% OrderScribe commission on web and QR orders.
What has actually been announced
GloriaFood's own site says the platform "has been discontinued and is no longer accepting new signups", and says existing customers will be supported through the transition. Oracle's acquisition page confirms that Oracle acquired GloriaFood in June 2021.
Those public pages do not state an exact end-of-service date. Use the notice inside your own account or the email sent to your restaurant as the source for migration timing.
A migration may involve replacing ordering links, checking printed QR destinations, moving menu data, and retaining any available business records. Inventory those dependencies before changing the live guest journey.

What stops working when the service ends
Online ordering depends on more than a menu screen. Review each component that currently points to or relies on GloriaFood before deciding what must be replaced.
- ✓Your ordering-page and checkout links in social profiles, your website, and your Google Business Profile
- ✓Printed QR codes on tables, windows, receipts, and flyers
- ✓Menu records available in the dashboard, including items, options, prices, and photos
- ✓Any order or customer records your account currently allows you to export
A fair comparison, not a hit piece
GloriaFood's published pricing described a free base ordering plan with optional paid services. Its site listed POS, a sales-optimized website, a branded app, online payments and tipping, and automated email marketing among those options.
OrderScribe has published monthly and yearly plans for its current product scope. It does not currently replace a POS, online card payments, a branded customer app, or automated marketing, so restaurants that depend on those capabilities should include separate replacements in their migration plan.
| GloriaFood | OrderScribe | |
|---|---|---|
| Taking new restaurants | No — discontinued, signups closed | Yes — self-serve signup |
| Commission on orders | 0% | 0% on direct web/QR orders |
| Pricing model | Free base plan, paid optional add-ons | Published plans from $15/month |
| Scope to compare | POS, branded app, website, payments, and email-marketing options were listed as paid extras | QR menu and cash checkout for delivery/pickup; no POS, online card payments, branded customer app, or automated marketing |
| Roadmap | Public site says discontinued | Accepting self-serve signups |

What you'll need to move
Review these items while you still have access to your GloriaFood account. The exact export options and retention requirements depend on your account and local obligations.
- Export your menuSave the menu records and media that your account currently makes available. If there is no structured export, document the categories, items, options, prices, and photo sources you will need to recreate.
- Export your orders and customersDownload any order and customer records your account allows you to export, and store or delete them according to your restaurant's privacy and retention obligations.
- List every place your ordering link appearsInstagram and TikTok bios, your website's order button, Google Business Profile, WhatsApp Business profile, printed flyers, delivery-driver cards. This list is the actual migration checklist.
- Count your printed QR codesCheck table tents, window stickers, receipt footers, and menu inserts. Scan a sample of each to confirm whether it encodes a direct GloriaFood URL or a redirect you control.
How the switch works with us
OrderScribe's setup is self-serve. Build and test the replacement separately, then decide when to change the links and printed codes you control based on your GloriaFood transition notice.
- Add or import your menuCreate categories, items, modifiers, and prices in the dashboard, or use OrderScribe's CSV menu import. Add Arabic and English content and photos where needed.
- Review it on a real phoneYou get your live menu link during the free trial and can order from it yourself before a single customer sees it.
- Swap the links, then the printOnce your replacement flow is tested, update the website order button, social links, and Google profile, then replace any printed QR codes that point directly to the old address.

GloriaFood shutdown: common questions
Is GloriaFood really shutting down?
GloriaFood's own website states that the platform "has been discontinued and is no longer accepting new signups", and says existing customers will be supported through the transition. Oracle's acquisition page confirms that Oracle acquired GloriaFood in June 2021. Neither public page states an exact end-of-service date.
When exactly does GloriaFood stop working?
Oracle's and GloriaFood's public pages do not list an exact end-of-service date. Check the notice inside your GloriaFood account or the email sent to your restaurant, and plan your migration against the date stated there rather than an unverified third-party report.
What is the best commission-free GloriaFood alternative?
The best fit depends on the capabilities your restaurant needs. OrderScribe is one focused option: plans start at $15 a month, it charges 0% commission on direct web and QR orders, and it provides an Arabic-and-English QR menu, delivery and pickup order submission, a restaurant dashboard, and a guest order-status page. Compare those capabilities with any POS, online-payment, branded-app, or marketing requirements before choosing a replacement.
Will I lose my menu and my customer list?
Export any menu, order, and customer records that GloriaFood currently makes available to your account, and store a copy under your restaurant's retention and privacy rules. OrderScribe provides self-serve menu creation and CSV menu import. Contact us if you want to ask whether assisted setup is available for your source material.
Do I have to reprint my QR codes?
If an existing QR code points directly to a GloriaFood URL, it will need to be replaced or redirected to the new menu address. Check the destination encoded in each printed code before planning a reprint; QR codes that point to a redirect you control may be updateable without replacing the print.
How much does OrderScribe cost after GloriaFood?
Starter is $15 a month (or $144 a year) for the bilingual QR menu and direct web ordering. Growth is $39 a month (or $375 a year) and adds the AI assistant with 100 monthly points. New accounts start with a 14-day free trial with no card, and OrderScribe charges 0% commission on direct web and QR orders across the current plans.
How long does the move take?
It depends on your menu size, the quality of your source data, translation and photo readiness, the number of branches, and how many links or printed QR codes must change. Build and test the replacement before switching the links you control, and use the transition instructions in your own GloriaFood notice when planning overlap.
