KitchenBot vs GloriaFood

GloriaFood is retiring. Your ordering doesn't have to.

Oracle has announced GloriaFood will shut down on April 30, 2027, and it's no longer accepting new signups. KitchenBot migrates your menu free, keeps ordering commission-free, and adds what GloriaFood never had: orders that fire straight to your kitchen.

Oracle's official retirement date — no new signups are being accepted

Free migration — before the deadline

GloriaFood retires in 2027. Move on your schedule, not theirs.

A fair look at both

GloriaFood earned its place. Here's what it does well — and where the day-to-day gap is for a working kitchen.

What GloriaFood does well

  • Free core ordering that got tens of thousands of restaurants online
  • Simple setup — an order button on any website or Facebook page
  • Table reservations bundled in at no cost

Where KitchenBot is different

It's shutting down

Oracle has set an April 30, 2027 retirement date. Every month you wait shortens your runway and crowds the migration window.

Orders were always manual

GloriaFood orders arrive on a phone app for manual confirmation — no POS injection, no kitchen printing, no KDS.

Free had a ceiling

The paid add-ons (branded apps, custom domains) funded the free tier. KitchenBot's flat price includes the whole system.

Switching takes days, not months

Your current ordering keeps running until the moment yours is live. There's no gap and nothing for you to build.

We build your menu

We take your existing menu and rebuild it in Clover with every modifier and price — then walk it with you until it's right.

Hardware shows up ready

Kitchen printer or KDS and a Clover Mini or Flex arrive configured. Plug in, connect to Wi-Fi, run a test order with us on the phone.

Flip the links

We swap the Order Online buttons on your website and Google profile. Old system off, new system on, same day.

Fair questions

When exactly do I need to move?

GloriaFood retires April 30, 2027. Practically, you want to be live on the replacement well before the final months, when every remaining GloriaFood restaurant is scrambling at once.

Will switching cost me my order history and customers?

Export your customer data from GloriaFood now, while you can. We'll import it, rebuild your menu, and update your website and Google ordering links so diners never hit a dead button.

GloriaFood was free. KitchenBot isn't. Why pay?

You'd be paying somewhere regardless after the shutdown. KitchenBot's flat price includes what free never did — kitchen printing or KDS, native POS integration on Clover, and a backup POS device.
