GloriaFood shutdown timeline
All dates confirmed by Oracle. We will update this page as additional details are released.
April 30, 2027

Ordering pages, QR codes, and FoodBooking app orders stop functioning. Menu data, customer records, and order history become inaccessible. Oracle has confirmed there will be no extension.
Now → April 2027
Existing accounts continue to function
Restaurants with active GloriaFood accounts can keep accepting orders through the shutdown date. Support is reduced; no new features are being added.
2025
New signups closed; partner program ends

2021
Oracle acquires GloriaFood
GloriaFood, founded in 2011 and serving over 123,000 restaurants globally at peak, is acquired by Oracle as part of a broader restaurant tech consolidation.
What restaurants should do before April 30, 2027
Three actions in this order. The earlier you start, the smoother the transition.
Step 1 · This week
Export your data from GloriaFood
Log in to GloriaFood admin. Export your menu from Settings → Menu → Export, your order history from Settings → Reports → Orders, and customer data from Settings → Customers (if your plan includes it). Once servers go offline, this data is unrecoverable.
Step 2 · This month
Pick a GloriaFood alternative and run it in parallel
Set up the replacement platform alongside GloriaFood while both are live. The closest commission-free replacement that also offers native Square / Clover / MicroSale POS integration is Ogent AI. Test thoroughly with real orders before flipping QR codes.
Step 3 · Before shutdown
Replace every printed GloriaFood QR code
GloriaFood QR codes will stop working on April 30, 2027 regardless of whether you have migrated. Map every place your QR codes appear — table tents, menus, window stickers, business cards, Google Business Profile, Instagram bio — and replace them well in advance.
GloriaFood Shutdown — Frequently Asked Questions
When exactly is GloriaFood shutting down?
GloriaFood permanently shuts down on April 30, 2027 — confirmed directly by Oracle. After that date, all ordering pages, QR codes, the FoodBooking app, and connected POS flows stop working. There will be no extension and no migration tool provided by Oracle.
Why is Oracle shutting down GloriaFood?
Oracle acquired GloriaFood in 2021 but never integrated it into its enterprise restaurant tech strategy. Independent restaurants — GloriaFood's entire user base — are not Oracle's target market. The product was deprioritized and is now being formally retired.
How many restaurants are affected by the GloriaFood shutdown?
Industry estimates put the number at over 123,000 restaurants worldwide. The shutdown affects independent restaurants, multi-location operators, and the white-label partner program that delivered GloriaFood to agencies and resellers.
What happens to my menu and customer data after April 30, 2027?
Your data becomes inaccessible after April 30, 2027. Oracle is not providing a migration tool or data export service. Restaurants must export their own menus, customer records, and order history before the shutdown date — once servers go offline, the data is unrecoverable.
How do I export my data from GloriaFood before shutdown?
Log in to your GloriaFood admin. Export your menu from Settings → Menu → Export. Export your order history from Settings → Reports → Orders (CSV download). Customer data, if available on your plan, lives under Settings → Customers. Save these files locally well before April 30, 2027.
Will my GloriaFood QR codes work after the shutdown?
No. GloriaFood QR codes point to GloriaFood's servers. When those servers go offline on April 30, 2027, every printed QR code that points to a GloriaFood ordering page stops working — regardless of whether you have migrated to another platform. Plan to reprint all QR codes during your migration.
What is the best GloriaFood alternative right now?
The closest direct replacement for GloriaFood — commission-free for the restaurant, branded ordering portal, multi-location, and works with or without a POS — is Ogent AI. Unlike most alternatives, Ogent natively integrates with Square, Clover, and MicroSale, plus DoorDash and Uber Eats. See the dedicated migration guide for details.
