GloriaFood Is Shutting Down on 30 April 2027
If your restaurant uses GloriaFood for QR table ordering, online takeaway or delivery ordering, you need to start planning your migration now. GloriaFood is scheduled to permanently shut down on 30 April 2027, which means every restaurant relying on the platform needs a replacement ordering system in place before that date.
The good news? This is an opportunity to upgrade to a more complete, locally-supported restaurant ordering ecosystem — and potentially at a significant discount.
Don't Wait Until April 2027
It's tempting to put off a platform switch until closer to the shutdown date. But changing an ordering platform isn't like flipping a switch. It involves:
- Menu migration — rebuilding your categories, products, prices, modifiers and product images
- Configuration — setting up opening hours, ordering settings, payment providers and restaurant details
- Testing — checking that orders flow correctly to your kitchen, payments process properly, and QR codes work
- QR code replacement — printing and deploying new table QR codes
- Staff familiarisation — training your team on the new workflow
All of this takes time. If you start early, you can configure and test your replacement system while your current GloriaFood setup is still running — meaning zero interruption to customer orders when you switch over.
If you wait until the last minute, you risk a gap where customers can't place orders.
What to Look for in a GloriaFood Replacement
When evaluating a replacement ordering platform, look beyond just "another ordering app." Consider whether the platform offers:
- QR table ordering — customers scan, browse, order and pay from their table
- Online takeaway ordering — commission-free direct ordering through your own website
- Delivery ordering — support for direct delivery workflows
- POS integration — orders flowing directly into your restaurant POS where supported
- Kitchen printing — orders routing to the right kitchen stations and printers
- Menu and modifier management — full control over products, categories, pricing and options
- Integrated payments — accepting online payments through supported providers
- Multi-language support — important for restaurants serving diverse communities
- Australian-based support — local help when you need it
The best replacement isn't just another ordering app — it's a complete restaurant ordering ecosystem that connects ordering, payments, POS and kitchen operations.
Free Menu Migration Assistance
One of the biggest concerns restaurants have about switching platforms is the effort of rebuilding their menu. A good migration partner will assist with transferring and rebuilding your existing GloriaFood configuration, including:
- Menu categories and structure
- Products and prices
- Modifiers and product options
- Product images (where available)
- Opening hours and ordering settings
- Restaurant details
This is an assisted migration process — a team helps rebuild your configuration on the new platform. It's not an automatic import, which means you get a chance to review and refine your menu as it's rebuilt.
A Special Offer for GloriaFood Customers
To help restaurants make the switch, there's a limited-time migration offer for existing GloriaFood customers:
- 50% off the eligible Surpass ordering subscription for the first 12 months
- Free GloriaFood menu migration assistance
This offer is designed to remove the two biggest barriers to switching: cost and effort. The discount applies for 12 months, giving restaurants time to settle into the new platform, and the free migration assistance means you don't have to rebuild your menu alone.
Proof of an existing GloriaFood account may be required. The discount applies for 12 months and does not continue permanently. Subject to campaign terms and eligibility.
Multi-Site Restaurants: Plan a Group Migration
If you operate multiple restaurant locations currently using GloriaFood, don't migrate them one by one. Request a multi-site migration review so your technology partner can prepare a consolidated plan across all your locations — ensuring consistent menus, pricing and configuration across the group.
