GloriaFood Alternative: Online Ordering for Restaurants and White Label Resellers
GloriaFood has been discontinued and is no longer accepting new signups. The closest replacement is a restaurant online ordering system that covers what GloriaFood did not: POS integration, delivery dispatch, guest support and a branded app. ActiveMenus does all of it commission-free, and it is available white label at wholesale for the agencies and resellers the GloriaFood partner program left behind.
New signups are closed, and there is no named replacement. If you run a restaurant on it, or you built a reseller business on its partner program, you need somewhere to go. Here is the full comparison, the migration steps, and what a white label online ordering program looks like when the platform is not going anywhere.
Is GloriaFood shutting down?
Yes. GloriaFood has been discontinued. The notice on its own site is short.
"GloriaFood has been discontinued and is no longer accepting new signups. We are fully committed to supporting our existing customers throughout this transition."
Notice published on gloriafood.com.
That is the whole announcement. Oracle, which acquired GloriaFood, has not published a direct replacement product or a migration tool. Existing accounts keep working for now. New restaurants cannot sign up at all.
For a single restaurant that means one migration. For an agency that put twenty, fifty or two hundred restaurants on the partner program, it means the revenue stream and the product both end on someone else's timetable. The clients are still yours. The platform under them is not.
Two things matter now. Get your data out while you can. And pick a platform that actually wants agency partners, so you are not doing this again in three years.

Two ways off GloriaFood
If you are an agency or reseller
The GloriaFood partner program closed with the product. ActiveMenus gives you a white label online ordering system and a white label restaurant app you sell as your own, at wholesale, with your margin set by you.
- Your brand on the ordering site, the app and the dashboard.
- Products cost you $50 a month each. Most partners resell at $150.
- Orders cost you $0.50. Suggested resell is $1.50.
- Around $500 a month per location at 300 orders a month.
- POS integration included. Orders flow straight into the restaurant's system.
- Delivery dispatch and customer service included. We handle the hard parts.
- We build the menus and onboard each restaurant for you.
- Migrations staged in batches so no client goes dark.
If you run a single restaurant
You keep commission-free direct ordering. You gain the parts GloriaFood never covered. Pricing comes from the partner who manages your account, or from us directly.
- Commission-free ordering on your own site. No guest fees.
- Your own branded iOS and Android app.
- Order with Google, so Search and Maps send you orders.
- POS integration included. Orders go straight into your system.
- Uber and DoorDash delivery from $4.99, dispatched and managed by us.
- Live customer service included. Phones, chats and texts answered by our team.
- AI voice order taking and automated marketing included.
POS integration is included.
Online orders should land where the kitchen already works. With ActiveMenus, every order flows straight into the restaurant's existing POS. No separate tablet. No staff retyping tickets. No extra charge for the connection.
For resellers this is a major selling point. Restaurants stay on the system they know. Their staff does not learn a new workflow. You do not have to apologize for a missing integration.

What the reseller model pays
The GloriaFood partner program was built on reselling a mostly free product. Ours is built on wholesale pricing. You buy at one price, you sell at your own, and you keep the difference every month the restaurant stays live.
| Your cost | Suggested resell | Your margin | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Web ordering | $50/mo | $150/mo | $100/mo |
| Branded mobile apps | $50/mo | $150/mo | $100/mo |
| AI voice ordering | $50/mo | $150/mo | $100/mo |
| Rewards and loyalty | Free | Bundle it in | Closes the deal |
| Per order | $0.50 | $1.50 | $1.00 |
| Free leads program | $0 | $199 signup fee | You keep all $199, plus $0.50 per order for 6 months |
| Partner referrals | $0 | — | 10% of every payout to partners you refer, for life |
A typical location running all three products at 300 orders a month works out to about $200 in product margin plus $300 in order margin. Around $500 a month, per location, recurring. Five locations is roughly $2,500 a month. There is no upfront cost, no minimum, and training is free.
Bundling is where deals close. Sell all three at $450 a month, or discount the bundle to $350 and you still hold $200 a month in product margin on top of order margin.
See full partner pricing and apply at partner.activemenus.com›Partner pricing as published on partner.activemenus.com, August 2026. A 2.5% optional software fee is included on guest orders to cover order support and management. Guests can opt out at checkout. If they do, ActiveMenus absorbs the cost, so restaurants never pay more.
How to migrate off GloriaFood
Six steps, in order. Steps one and two are on you. We do most of the rest.
Export everything now
Pull your menu, guest list and order history out of GloriaFood while you still have access. Menus, item photos, modifiers, customer emails and phone numbers. Do not wait for the last week.
Pick the replacement first
Choose the platform before you touch a live site. Confirm it covers ordering, POS integration, delivery dispatch, guest support, marketing and a branded app so you are not stitching four vendors together.
Rebuild the menu
This is the slow part. With ActiveMenus, menu entry and design are part of setup. You send us the menu and we build it.
Swap the buttons and QR codes
Replace the ordering widget on the website, update Facebook and Instagram links, and reprint or re-point table and takeout QR codes.
Re-point Google ordering
Order with Google needs to be reconnected to the new system, or you lose orders that were coming from Search and Maps for free.
Tell your guests
One email and one text is enough. New ordering page, same restaurant, same rewards. Send it the day you go live, not a week later.
A free online ordering system, and what free actually cost
GloriaFood was the best known free online ordering system for restaurants. It was free because the software was the top of a funnel, not the business. That is why it could be switched off. Ask what a platform charges, then ask how it makes money. If the answer is nothing, the answer is not durable.
ActiveMenus makes money on wholesale software and a small per order fee. That is it. No commission on restaurant sales. No guest fees. Marketing over SMS, email and push is included. So is AI voice order taking. Your menu, your guest list and your order history stay yours, and you can export them any time. Every partner rate is published at partner.activemenus.com.

Dispatch, delivery management and customer service included.
GloriaFood sent you the order and left the rest to you. ActiveMenus handles the full delivery lifecycle. We dispatch Uber and DoorDash drivers from $4.99 a delivery. We track the order. We solve the problems. Restaurants do not need a separate delivery system.
Our US-based team answers phones, chats and texts from guests. Re-deliveries. Refunds. Order-status questions. We act on your behalf, so your staff stays in the kitchen instead of on the phone. Agencies get the same coverage under their own brand.

GloriaFood's own website says the product has been discontinued and is no longer accepting new signups, and that they are supporting existing customers through the transition. Oracle owns the product and has not named a replacement. If you run restaurants on GloriaFood, treat this as a migration you plan now rather than later.
For resellers and agencies, ActiveMenus is the closest match to what GloriaFood's partner program offered. You get a white label online ordering system and a white label restaurant app at wholesale, and you set the retail price your restaurants pay. Web ordering, branded apps and AI voice ordering are $50 a month each to you, orders are $0.50, and the suggested resell is $150 a month per product and $1.50 an order. Full pricing is published at partner.activemenus.com.
The ActiveMenus partner program. You sell a white label online ordering system and white label restaurant app under your brand. Products cost you $50 a month each and most partners resell at $150. Orders cost you $0.50 and the suggested resell is $1.50. A location running all three products at 300 orders a month is around $500 a month in recurring margin. There is no upfront cost and training is free. Full pricing is at partner.activemenus.com. We handle menu builds, onboarding, guest support and delivery logistics behind the scenes.
The base GloriaFood ordering widget was free. The branded app, promotions and premium features were paid, and partners resold the platform on top. Free was the acquisition model, not the business model, which is part of why the product could be discontinued.
On paid upgrades and its partner program, not on the free widget. Restaurants paid for the branded app and premium features, and resellers paid to sell it under their own brand. Oracle acquired the company, and the product has now been discontinued.
Yes. It was a real online ordering system used by restaurants worldwide, and it was acquired by Oracle. The issue is not legitimacy, it is longevity. The product has been discontinued and new signups are closed, so restaurants and resellers on it need a replacement.
The base ordering widget was free. Revenue came from paid upgrades like the branded app, promotions and premium features, and from partners reselling it. Free software still has a cost. It shows up as features you cannot get, support you cannot reach, and, in this case, a product that goes away.
Export your menu, guest contacts and order history from the GloriaFood dashboard while your account is still active. Then send them to us. We load the menu, rebuild the design and bring your guest list across as part of setup.
A single restaurant usually goes live in days once we have the menu. A portfolio of restaurants is staged in batches so no client goes dark. We do the menu entry and setup work on our side.
Yes. Restaurants get their own ordering site and app. Agencies get the whole platform white labeled, so your name stays on it and ActiveMenus stays behind the curtain.
As a reseller you pay wholesale: $50 a month for web ordering, $50 for branded mobile apps, $50 for AI voice ordering, and $0.50 per order. POS integration, delivery dispatch and customer service are included. Rewards and loyalty are free. Automated marketing over SMS, email and push is included. What the restaurant pays is up to you, and most partners resell each product at $150 a month with $1.50 an order. Every current number is published at partner.activemenus.com.
Better. GloriaFood left drivers to you. ActiveMenus dispatches Uber and DoorDash drivers from $4.99 a delivery, and our US-based team handles delivery problems on your behalf instead of sending them to your manager.

Book a demo and we will map the migration with you. Menu, guest list, QR codes, Google ordering and go-live dates. One restaurant or two hundred.
