Best GloriaFood Alternatives for Restaurants in the USA
GloriaFood built a loyal following among independent restaurants because it offered something rare: a genuine free tier for commission-free direct ordering. Oracle's acquisition and the April 30, 2027 shutdown mean hundreds of thousands of restaurants need to find a replacement.
This guide covers the best GloriaFood alternatives for restaurants in the United States, comparing them on what matters most: commission structure, pricing, feature depth, and migration support.
What made GloriaFood popular
Before comparing alternatives, it helps to understand why restaurants chose GloriaFood in the first place:
- Free to use — no monthly subscription
- Commission-free ordering
- Easy setup
- Simple embeddable widget for existing websites
The weakness: GloriaFood was ordering-only. No loyalty, no marketing, no review management, no customer data tools. It was a starting point, not a growth platform.
The best GloriaFood alternatives
1. EZ ONE Hub — Best overall replacement
Price: Free to start (EZ Presence), $250/month (EZ Start), $699/month (EZ Growth)
Commission: None. $2.50 customer convenience fee on free tier.
EZ ONE Hub is the most direct GloriaFood replacement for restaurants that want to preserve the commission-free model while getting access to growth tools GloriaFood never had.
The EZ Presence tier ($0/month) matches GloriaFood's free model: commission-free direct ordering, a professional restaurant website, and a customer ordering page. EZ ONE Hub also imports your GloriaFood menu automatically — the only major platform that offers this.
Beyond ordering, EZ ONE Hub includes loyalty programs, SMS and email marketing, review management, AI chat, business intelligence, and a call center add-on — tools that turn your ordering platform into a customer growth engine.
2. OlaClick
OlaClick is a commission-free ordering platform popular in Latin America with expanding US presence. Pricing starts free but the feature set is more limited than EZ ONE Hub. No automatic GloriaFood migration assistance.
3. ChowNow
ChowNow is a well-established US platform with commission-free ordering. Monthly fees apply across all plans, and pricing is higher than EZ ONE Hub's entry tiers. Strong brand recognition and POS integrations.
4. Square Online
Square Online is a viable option for restaurants already using Square POS. The ordering is commission-free (though payment processing fees apply). Limited customer growth tools compared to EZ ONE Hub.
5. Applova
Applova focuses on tablet-based ordering and kiosk solutions alongside web ordering. Good fit for restaurants with high dine-in volume. Monthly subscription required.
What to look for in a GloriaFood replacement
- Commission-free ordering — non-negotiable if cost was your reason for using GloriaFood
- Menu import from GloriaFood — rebuilding your menu manually costs hours
- Free or low-cost starting point — the $0 tier is what made GloriaFood accessible
- Active platform — you are moving away from a shutting-down platform; verify the alternative has a strong roadmap
- Growth tools — loyalty, marketing, reviews; GloriaFood had none of these
The migration deadline
GloriaFood closes April 30, 2027. The real deadline for migration is earlier than that — you need at least 60 days of running your new platform in parallel to transition your customers.
EZ ONE Hub offers free migration assistance for eligible GloriaFood customers: automatic menu import, dedicated setup support, and EZ Presence ($0/month) with no monthly platform fee for life. Payment processing and applicable customer order fees still apply.
