How to Migrate from GloriaFood to Delivety Before the 2027 Shutdown

GloriaFood is being discontinued in 2027. If your restaurant, agency, or delivery business still depends on GloriaFood for online ordering, now is the right time to prepare your migration.

This article is the practical follow-up to our main guide, GloriaFood Alternative for Restaurants, Agencies, and Delivery Businesses. Use it as a step-by-step migration checklist before moving your ordering flow to Delivety.

The important thing is not only to choose a new ordering system. You also need to move your menu, website ordering button, delivery settings, staff workflow, payment setup, and customer ordering experience without interrupting online orders.

A rushed migration can create problems:

  • Customers may click an old order button that no longer works.
  • Menu items may be missing or incorrectly priced.
  • Delivery zones may be configured incorrectly.
  • Staff may not know where new orders appear.
  • Agencies may have too many restaurant clients to move at the last minute.
  • Restaurants may lose direct orders while trying to fix the setup.

This guide explains how to migrate from GloriaFood to Delivety in a structured way.

Delivety is not only a GloriaFood replacement for online ordering. It is an order and delivery management platform that helps restaurants, agencies, cloud kitchens, and delivery businesses manage the full workflow after an order is placed.

Why You Should Start Your GloriaFood Migration Early

That may sound far away, but restaurants should not wait until the final months.

A proper migration takes time because online ordering is connected to many parts of your business:

  • Your restaurant website.
  • Your online menu.
  • Pickup and delivery settings.
  • Delivery zones and fees.
  • Order notifications.
  • Payment settings.
  • Kitchen workflow.
  • Staff training.
  • Customer communication.
  • Reporting and order history.
  • Agency-managed client websites, if you manage restaurants for others.

If you only replace the visible order button, you may miss the operational details behind it.

A safer approach is to migrate early, test the full order flow, and launch the new ordering system before GloriaFood becomes urgent.

GloriaFood Migration Checklist

Before moving from GloriaFood to Delivety, use this checklist to understand what needs to be migrated or recreated.

Website and Ordering Flow

Check:

  • Where the GloriaFood order button appears on your website.
  • Whether you use an embedded widget, ordering link, QR code, or direct menu link.
  • Which pages link to GloriaFood.
  • Whether the order button appears in the header, hero section, menu page, contact page, footer, or mobile menu.
  • Whether you use separate links for pickup, delivery, or table ordering.
  • Whether your Google Business Profile, social media pages, or QR codes link to GloriaFood.

Your goal is to make sure every customer-facing ordering entry point is replaced with the new Delivety ordering flow.

Menu Content

Check:

  • Categories.
  • Dish names.
  • Descriptions.
  • Prices.
  • Photos.
  • Modifiers.
  • Add-ons.
  • Required options.
  • Optional extras.
  • Item availability.
  • Pickup-only items.
  • Delivery-only items.
  • Taxes or fees, if applicable.

Your menu is the heart of the migration. Do not simply copy everything without review. Use the migration as a chance to clean up old items, remove outdated dishes, fix unclear descriptions, and simplify confusing modifiers.

Delivery and Pickup Settings

Check:

  • Pickup availability.
  • Delivery availability.
  • Delivery zones.
  • Minimum order amount.
  • Delivery fees.
  • Free delivery conditions.
  • Opening hours.
  • Delivery hours.
  • Preparation time.
  • Maximum delivery distance.
  • Service areas that should be excluded.
  • Special rules for holidays or busy hours.

Many restaurants underestimate this part. Even if the online menu is correct, wrong delivery settings can immediately create customer complaints.

Payments

Check:

  • Whether GloriaFood was used with online payments.
  • Which payment methods customers currently use.
  • Whether cash on delivery is enabled.
  • Whether card payments are required.
  • Whether payment settings differ by pickup and delivery.
  • Whether the new platform needs Stripe, PayPal, or another payment method.
  • Whether test payments need to be made before launch.

If payments are part of your online ordering flow, test them before going live.

Staff Workflow

Check:

  • Who receives new online orders.
  • Who accepts or confirms orders.
  • Who sends orders to the kitchen.
  • Who packs orders.
  • Who assigns couriers.
  • Who updates order statuses.
  • Who handles customer calls.
  • Who checks failed or delayed orders.

A migration is not complete until your team knows how to process real orders in the new system.

Agency and Multi-Client Setup

If you are an agency or reseller, check:

  • How many client websites use GloriaFood.
  • Which clients are most dependent on online orders.
  • Which clients have the highest order volume.
  • Which clients use custom menus, delivery zones, or payments.
  • Which websites need button or widget replacement.
  • Which clients need white-label ordering.
  • Which clients need training.
  • Which clients need migration communication.

Agencies should not migrate all clients at once. Start with one or two pilot restaurants, refine the process, and then repeat it for the rest.

GloriaFood migration checklist for online ordering, menu, delivery, payments, and staff workflow

Step 1: Audit Your Current GloriaFood Setup

Start by documenting how your current GloriaFood setup works.

You do not need a complex document. A simple spreadsheet or checklist is enough.

For each restaurant, write down:

  • Restaurant name.
  • Website URL.
  • Current GloriaFood ordering URL.
  • Website pages where the order button appears.
  • Menu size.
  • Number of categories.
  • Pickup enabled or not.
  • Delivery enabled or not.
  • Delivery zones.
  • Payment methods.
  • Staff members who handle orders.
  • Special notes or unusual settings.

This audit helps you avoid surprises later. For example, you may discover that the GloriaFood link is not only on the homepage. It may also be in the website menu, footer, Instagram bio, Facebook page, Google Business Profile, printed QR codes, email signatures, and old marketing pages. Every important ordering link should be replaced before launch.

Auditing your current GloriaFood online ordering setup

Step 2: Decide What You Want to Improve During Migration

Moving away from GloriaFood should not be treated as a simple copy-paste task.

It is a chance to improve the ordering experience.

Before creating the new Delivety setup, decide what should change.

You may want to:

  • Improve menu structure.
  • Rewrite dish descriptions.
  • Add better photos.
  • Remove unavailable items.
  • Create clearer modifiers.
  • Separate pickup and delivery settings.
  • Add delivery zones.
  • Improve order preparation workflow.
  • Add kitchen display workflow.
  • Add courier management.
  • Improve reporting.
  • Prepare for multiple locations.
  • Offer a white-label setup for agency clients.

This is where Delivety can do more than replace GloriaFood. You can use the migration to move from a basic online ordering setup to a complete order and delivery management workflow.

Deciding what to improve during your GloriaFood migration

Step 3: Prepare Your Menu for Delivety

Your menu should be reviewed before it is added to Delivety.

A clean menu makes online ordering easier for customers and easier for staff.

Review Categories

Check if your categories are clear and logical.

For example:

  • Starters.
  • Salads.
  • Main dishes.
  • Burgers.
  • Sushi.
  • Pizza.
  • Desserts.
  • Drinks.
  • Family sets.
  • Lunch menu.
  • Catering menu.

Avoid too many categories if they make the menu harder to browse.

Review Dish Names

Dish names should be clear and consistent.

Avoid names that are too internal or unclear for customers. If a dish needs explanation, add a description.

Review Descriptions

Good descriptions help customers order with confidence.

Mention:

  • Main ingredients.
  • Portion size, if useful.
  • Spicy level, if relevant.
  • Allergens or dietary notes, if required.
  • What is included and what is optional.

Review Prices

Check every price carefully.

This is one of the most important migration tasks. A single wrong price can create confusion for staff and customers.

Review Modifiers and Options

Modifiers often create migration mistakes.

Check:

  • Required options.
  • Optional add-ons.
  • Size choices.
  • Sauce choices.
  • Side dish choices.
  • Drink choices.
  • Topping choices.
  • Extra ingredients.
  • Removed ingredients.
  • Price differences.

Make sure required modifiers are really required. Do not force customers to choose options that should be optional.

Preparing your restaurant menu for Delivety online ordering

Step 4: Configure Pickup and Delivery

After the menu is prepared, configure pickup and delivery settings in Delivety.

Pickup Settings

Check:

  • Whether pickup is available.
  • Pickup opening hours.
  • Preparation time.
  • Pickup instructions.
  • Whether customers can schedule pickup orders.

Pickup should be simple and predictable. Customers need to know when the order will be ready and where to collect it.

Delivery Settings

Check:

  • Whether delivery is available.
  • Delivery opening hours.
  • Delivery zones.
  • Delivery fees.
  • Minimum order amount.
  • Estimated delivery time.
  • Areas where delivery is not available.
  • Special rules for distant zones.

Delivery settings should match your real operations. Do not promise delivery areas or delivery times your team cannot handle.

Delivery Zones

If you deliver to different areas with different fees, set them up carefully. Delivety includes a Delivery Zones Extension for businesses that need delivery area control.

For example:

  • Zone 1: nearby area, lower delivery fee.
  • Zone 2: medium distance, higher delivery fee.
  • Zone 3: distant area, higher minimum order.
  • Excluded areas: outside delivery range.

Correct delivery zone setup helps avoid manual corrections after the customer has already placed an order.

Step 5: Replace the GloriaFood Order Button

This is the most visible part of the migration. If your restaurant website currently uses a GloriaFood "Order Online", "Order Now", "Start Order", or "Menu" button, it needs to be replaced with the new Delivety ordering link or integration code.

Check all common locations:

  • Homepage hero section.
  • Main navigation.
  • Sticky mobile button.
  • Menu page.
  • Contact page.
  • Footer.
  • Popups.
  • QR code landing pages.
  • Social media profile links.
  • Google Business Profile.
  • Email newsletters.
  • Printed materials, if they use QR codes.

Do not assume there is only one GloriaFood link.

Restaurants often have the old ordering link in several places. Agencies managing restaurant websites should search the whole website code or CMS for GloriaFood URLs and replace them everywhere.

Step 6: Set Up the Staff Workflow

Online ordering is only useful if staff can process orders correctly.

In Delivety, the workflow can include different roles and dashboards depending on the business setup, including the Admin Panel and Operator Dashboard.

For example:

  • Admin manages settings, menu, reports, and configuration.
  • Operator receives and manages incoming orders.
  • Kitchen prepares dishes.
  • Assembly checks and packs orders.
  • Courier handles delivery tasks.
  • Manager reviews reports and order history.

Not every restaurant needs every workflow from day one. But if your business handles delivery, kitchen workload, multiple locations, or couriers, separating roles can reduce mistakes.

Before launch, decide:

  • Who receives new orders.
  • Who accepts orders.
  • Who prepares them.
  • Who packs them.
  • Who assigns couriers.
  • Who updates order statuses.
  • Who handles customer questions.

Then train each person on only the part of the system they need to use.

Step 7: Configure Notifications

Customers and staff need clear communication.

Check notification settings for:

  • New order alerts.
  • Order confirmation.
  • Pickup confirmation.
  • Delivery confirmation.
  • Order status updates.
  • Customer emails.
  • Staff notifications.
  • Failed or missed order handling.

If notifications are not configured correctly, staff may miss orders or customers may feel uncertain after ordering.

Before launch, place test orders and confirm that the right people receive the right notifications.

Step 8: Test the Full Order Flow

Testing is the most important step before going live.

Do not test only whether the ordering page opens. Test the full process from customer order to order completion.

Place test orders for:

  • Pickup.
  • Delivery.
  • Different delivery zones.
  • Minimum order amount.
  • Menu items with modifiers.
  • Menu items without modifiers.
  • Online payment, if enabled.
  • Cash payment, if enabled.
  • Scheduled order, if enabled.
  • Out-of-zone address.
  • Closed-hours ordering, if applicable.

For each test order, check:

  • Did the customer see the correct menu?
  • Were prices correct?
  • Were modifiers correct?
  • Was the delivery fee correct?
  • Did the order appear in the operator dashboard?
  • Did the kitchen receive the order correctly?
  • Was the order status easy to update?
  • Did the courier workflow work if delivery was selected?
  • Did the customer receive the correct notification?
  • Did the order appear in reports?

A migration is ready only when the full order journey works.

Testing the full online order flow before launching on Delivety

Step 9: Launch the New Delivety Ordering Flow

Once testing is complete, choose a launch time.

Avoid launching during your busiest hours. Choose a quiet period when the team has time to react if something needs adjustment.

Before launch:

  • Make sure the Delivety menu is final.
  • Make sure staff have access.
  • Make sure payment settings are tested.
  • Make sure delivery settings are correct.
  • Make sure the website button is ready to update.
  • Make sure someone is responsible for monitoring the first real orders.

At launch:

  • Replace the GloriaFood button with the Delivety ordering link or integration code.
  • Check the website on desktop.
  • Check the website on mobile.
  • Place one final real test order.
  • Monitor the first customer orders closely.

After launch:

  • Watch for customer questions.
  • Check staff feedback.
  • Review failed or abandoned orders.
  • Fix small menu or modifier issues quickly.
  • Keep the old migration checklist until everything is stable.

Step 10: Update External Ordering Links

After the website is updated, check all external places where customers may still find the old GloriaFood link.

Update:

  • Google Business Profile.
  • Facebook page.
  • Instagram bio.
  • TikTok profile.
  • TripAdvisor profile.
  • Restaurant directories.
  • Email signatures.
  • Newsletter templates.
  • QR codes.
  • Printed flyers.
  • Table cards.
  • Posters.
  • Old landing pages.
  • Agency portfolio links, if applicable.

This step is easy to forget.

If customers still click an old GloriaFood link from Google, social media, or a QR code, they may think the restaurant no longer accepts online orders.

Recommended Migration Timeline

The best timeline depends on the complexity of your setup, but here is a practical approach.

Simple Restaurant: 1-2 Weeks

This applies if you have:

  • One restaurant.
  • A simple menu.
  • Pickup and basic delivery.
  • No complex modifiers.
  • No custom integration.
  • No agency or multi-location setup.

Suggested timeline:

  • Day 1-2: Audit current GloriaFood setup.
  • Day 3-5: Prepare and add menu.
  • Day 6-7: Configure pickup, delivery, and payments.
  • Day 8-10: Test orders and staff workflow.
  • Day 11-14: Replace website button and launch.

Restaurant with Delivery Operations: 2-4 Weeks

This applies if you have:

  • Delivery zones.
  • Couriers.
  • Busy order flow.
  • Kitchen workflow.
  • Multiple staff roles.
  • Many menu modifiers.
  • Online payments.

Suggested timeline:

  • Week 1: Audit setup and prepare menu.
  • Week 2: Configure delivery, payments, and dashboards.
  • Week 3: Train staff and test full order flow.
  • Week 4: Launch and monitor.

Agency with Multiple Restaurant Clients: 1-3 Months

This applies if you manage several restaurant websites using GloriaFood.

Suggested timeline:

  • Week 1: List all clients using GloriaFood.
  • Week 2: Select pilot restaurants.
  • Week 3-4: Migrate and test pilot clients.
  • Month 2: Migrate priority clients.
  • Month 3: Migrate remaining clients and update all external links.

Agencies should not wait until the final months before the shutdown. Migrating many restaurant clients at once can become chaotic, especially if each client has a different menu, website structure, payment setup, and delivery area.

Migration Notes for Agencies

If you are an agency, the GloriaFood shutdown is also a business opportunity.

Your restaurant clients may not follow restaurant technology news. They may not know GloriaFood is being discontinued until they see a warning or until their ordering setup becomes urgent.

You can help them before that happens.

A good agency migration plan should include:

  • A list of all clients using GloriaFood.
  • A migration priority order.
  • A standard Delivety setup process.
  • A reusable website button replacement process.
  • A client communication template.
  • A staff training checklist.
  • A post-launch support process.
  • A recurring service offer.

Instead of presenting this as a technical problem, present it as an upgrade.

The message to clients can be:

GloriaFood is being discontinued, so we recommend migrating your online ordering before the deadline. We can move you to a more complete ordering and delivery management system that keeps orders coming through your website and gives your team a better workflow.

This is stronger than simply saying:

We need to replace your old button.

With Delivety, agencies can offer a more complete solution: branded online ordering, order management, delivery settings, kitchen workflows, courier management, reporting, and white-label options. Agencies moving several clients at once can follow our step-by-step migration plan for GloriaFood agencies and resellers.

Migration Notes for Restaurants

If you run a restaurant, your main goal is continuity.

Customers should not notice technical migration problems. They should simply see that they can still order online from your website.

To make the migration smoother:

  • Keep your ordering button visible.
  • Keep the menu simple and accurate.
  • Test pickup and delivery before launch.
  • Train staff before the first real order.
  • Monitor orders closely during the first days.
  • Ask staff to report confusing steps.
  • Fix menu and delivery issues quickly.

The best migration is one where customers continue ordering without interruption and your team feels the new workflow is easier than before.

Migration Notes for Delivery Businesses and Cloud Kitchens

Delivery businesses and cloud kitchens usually need more than a simple ordering page.

You may need to manage:

  • Multiple brands.
  • Multiple menus.
  • Multiple preparation areas.
  • Delivery zones.
  • Couriers.
  • Dispatching.
  • Order statuses.
  • Reports.
  • Multi-location operations.

For this type of business, the GloriaFood migration should be treated as an operational project, not just a website update.

Delivety can help connect online ordering with the workflows that happen after the order is placed: operator dashboard, kitchen workflow, assembly, courier handling, delivery zones, route optimization, and reporting.

This gives delivery businesses a stronger foundation than replacing GloriaFood with another basic ordering widget.

Common GloriaFood Migration Mistakes to Avoid

Waiting Too Long

The biggest mistake is waiting until the shutdown is close. If you migrate early, you can test calmly. If you wait too long, you may have to make rushed decisions.

Replacing Only the Website Button

The button is important, but it is only one part of the setup. You also need to check menu, payments, delivery zones, notifications, staff workflow, and external links.

Copying an Old Menu Without Review

Old menus often contain outdated items, inconsistent descriptions, confusing modifiers, and incorrect prices. Migration is a good opportunity to clean the menu.

Forgetting Mobile Users

Many customers order from smartphones. After replacing the order button, test the website and ordering flow on mobile, not only desktop.

Not Training Staff

Even a good ordering system can create problems if staff do not know how to use it. Train the team before launch.

Forgetting External Links and QR Codes

Customers may order from Google, Instagram, Facebook, QR codes, or old saved links. Update all important ordering entry points.

Common GloriaFood migration mistakes to avoid when moving to Delivety

What to Do After Migration

After your Delivety ordering flow is live, monitor the first days carefully.

Check:

  • Are customers placing orders successfully?
  • Are staff receiving orders correctly?
  • Are delivery fees correct?
  • Are menu modifiers working?
  • Are payments working?
  • Are order notifications clear?
  • Are couriers receiving delivery tasks?
  • Are there customer questions or complaints?
  • Are there repeated staff issues?

Use the first week to refine the setup.

Small adjustments after launch are normal. The important thing is to watch the workflow and fix issues quickly.

Final Thoughts: Migrate Early, Test Properly, Keep Orders Flowing

GloriaFood being discontinued creates pressure for restaurants and agencies, but it also creates an opportunity to improve the way online orders are managed.

Do not treat migration as a last-minute technical fix.

Use it to review your menu, improve your ordering flow, configure delivery properly, train your staff, and move to a platform that can support more than a basic order button.

Delivety helps restaurants, agencies, cloud kitchens, and delivery businesses replace GloriaFood with a more complete order and delivery management system.

If your restaurant or your clients still depend on GloriaFood, start the migration now.

The earlier you move, the easier it is to test, train, launch, and keep online orders flowing without disruption.

Common Questions

Can I migrate from GloriaFood to Delivety?

Yes. Restaurants, agencies, cloud kitchens, and delivery businesses can move from GloriaFood to Delivety by recreating their online menu, configuring pickup and delivery settings, replacing the GloriaFood order button, and testing the full order workflow before launch.

How long does GloriaFood migration take?

A simple restaurant migration may take one to two weeks. A restaurant with delivery zones, couriers, payments, and a larger menu may take two to four weeks. Agencies managing multiple restaurant clients should plan a phased migration over one to three months.

What should I migrate first from GloriaFood?

Start with an audit of your current GloriaFood setup. Identify your ordering links, menu structure, delivery settings, payment methods, and staff workflow. After that, prepare your menu and recreate the ordering flow in Delivety.

Do I need to rebuild my restaurant website?

Not necessarily. If your existing website is good, you can keep it and replace the GloriaFood ordering button with a Delivety ordering link or integration code. This allows customers to continue ordering from your website without a full website rebuild.

What happens to my GloriaFood order button?

Your GloriaFood order button should be replaced before GloriaFood reaches full end of service. Search your website, mobile menu, footer, social profiles, Google Business Profile, and QR codes to make sure all old GloriaFood links are updated.

Can agencies migrate multiple GloriaFood clients to Delivety?

Yes. Agencies can migrate multiple restaurant clients to Delivety. The best approach is to start with a pilot client, create a repeatable migration process, and then move the remaining clients in phases.

Should I copy my GloriaFood menu exactly?

You can use your current GloriaFood menu as a starting point, but it is better to review it before migration. Remove outdated items, fix prices, improve descriptions, and simplify confusing modifiers before adding the menu to Delivety.

Can Delivety support delivery zones and couriers?

Yes. Delivety can support delivery zones, delivery fees, courier workflows, and delivery management. This makes it useful for restaurants and delivery businesses that need more than a simple online ordering page.

How do I avoid losing online orders during migration?

Migrate early, test the new ordering flow before launch, replace all GloriaFood links carefully, update external ordering links, train staff, and monitor the first real orders after launch.

Why choose Delivety instead of another GloriaFood alternative?

Delivety is more than an online ordering widget. It helps manage the full order journey, including online ordering, order management, kitchen workflow, assembly, courier management, delivery zones, and reporting. This makes it suitable for restaurants, agencies, cloud kitchens, and delivery businesses that need a stronger operational platform.

When you switch, replace every old GloriaFood entry point — website buttons, embedded widgets, direct ordering links, Google Business Profile links, social profile links, and printed QR codes. Delivety's Order Now button and QR code tools give you one feature for connecting your existing website and offline materials to the new ordering flow.
