QwikEat vs GloriaFood: where to go when GloriaFood closes

Q: GloriaFood was free. Why pay for QwikEat?

GloriaFood's core ordering was free, but it is closing, so staying on it is not an option after April 30, 2027. QwikEat is one plan at $19 a month after a 30-day free trial. Like GloriaFood it takes 0% commission on your orders, and the plan adds a register with receipt printing, an owner app and AI menu tools.

Q: Can I keep taking orders without online payment?

Yes. Customers can order online and pay in person, at the counter or when they collect, just as on GloriaFood. Card payments are optional and you can turn them on later.

Q: Can you move my GloriaFood menu?

Yes. Paste your GloriaFood ordering link and QwikEat imports your categories, dishes and prices. You review everything before it goes live. You can also import a menu from a PDF or a photo.

Q: How much does QwikEat cost?

One plan: $19 a month, excluding sales tax, billed monthly after a 30-day free trial. It includes 1 location, and each extra location is $15 a month. 0% commission, no setup fee, no commitment.

Q: Can I run QwikEat and GloriaFood at the same time?

Yes. Set up QwikEat, test it with a few orders, then swap your website button and QR codes when you are ready. Nothing changes on GloriaFood until you switch it off.

GloriaFood gave restaurants free online ordering, but Oracle has announced GloriaFood will be retired on April 30, 2027. QwikEat keeps you taking orders under your own name with 0% commission: pay-at-the-counter orders keep working, and we move your GloriaFood menu for you.

GloriaFood was free. Now it is closing.

GloriaFood has been one of the best-known free ordering systems for restaurants: an ordering button for your website, pickup and delivery, table QR codes and an app to accept orders, with paid add-ons for extras. Many restaurants used it without online payment at all, with customers paying at the counter or on delivery.

Oracle has announced GloriaFood will be retired on April 30, 2027. New restaurants can no longer sign up, and no replacement product has been announced. Every restaurant still on GloriaFood needs a new ordering system before that date.

QwikEat keeps the way you work: 0% commission, orders paid at the counter or online, pickup, delivery and dine-in. It is not free: it is one plan at $19 a month, with a 30-day free trial. That plan also gives you a register with receipt printing, an owner app and AI menu tools, and we move your GloriaFood menu for you.
