Back GloriaFood is being discontinued. Oracle states that GloriaFood products and services are being phased out, with full end of service scheduled for March 31, 2027.
Most restaurants respond to this news by comparing alternatives. That is the right first step, and our Delivety GloriaFood Alternative guide covers it in detail. But choosing a new ordering system is only half of the migration.
The other half is quieter and easier to get wrong: replacing every place where customers actually start an order.
Over the years, your GloriaFood setup has spread across your digital and physical presence. There is a button on your website. There may be widget code in your page templates. There are ordering links on your Google Business Profile, in your Instagram bio, in old email campaigns. There are QR codes on table cards, flyers, packaging and storefront windows.
If even one of those entry points still leads to GloriaFood after you switch, some customers will keep landing on a system that is heading toward shutdown — and eventually on a dead end.
This article is the practical switchover guide: how to find every GloriaFood entry point, replace it with Delivety, and test everything before going live. For the full migration (menu, data, staff workflow, timeline), see the complete GloriaFood migration guide.
On most restaurant websites, the order button is the single most important conversion point. Everything else — the photos, the story, the reviews — exists to get a hungry visitor to click "Order Now," "Order Online," "View Menu" or a similar label.
GloriaFood's website-ordering setup made this button central. GloriaFood's own materials walk restaurants through adding and customizing a "See MENU & Order" button, and its restaurant website builder instructs restaurants to place that button on their sites to take online orders. GloriaFood even recommended adding the button in multiple places on the same page.
That advice worked. It also means the button is now in more places than you may remember:
If you replace your ordering platform but forget even one of these buttons, you create a broken customer journey: a visitor who is ready to order clicks through to a system you no longer operate. That is the most expensive kind of website bug a restaurant can have.
Before you change anything, build an inventory. Work through this checklist and note every location where a GloriaFood button, link or code exists.
On your website:
In your website code:
If your site uses the GloriaFood widget rather than a plain link, search your page source and templates for these strings:
These are identifiers and script references GloriaFood commonly used in its button and widget code. If any of them appear in your site, you have widget code to deal with, not just a link.
In external channels:
For agencies — in managed client assets:
Keep this inventory in a simple spreadsheet. You will use it again at the testing stage, and once more after launch when you retire the old links.
Do not remove the old button on day one. The right order of operations is: build the new ordering flow, test it, and only then switch the entry points over. Otherwise you risk a gap where customers cannot order at all.
Work through this readiness checklist in Delivety:
Delivety's Order Now button and QR code feature gives you the replacement pieces for the customer-facing side: a button integration for your existing website, a direct ordering link that works anywhere a link works, and a QR code that opens your ordering page. All of them lead into the same ordering flow, so you can use one method or all of them.
Only when a test order has gone through end to end should you start switching entry points.
With Delivety prepared, replacing the website button is a controlled, repeatable process:
This process works across common platforms — WordPress, Wix, Webflow, Squarespace, custom HTML sites and agency-built frameworks. The specifics depend on your platform: a direct link can be attached to any normal button, while the connected button integration requires access to your site's HTML, custom-code area, theme or tag manager. Custom-code support varies between website builders and their pricing tiers, so check what your platform allows or ask the person who manages your site.
If your website used the GloriaFood widget, there is code to clean up — not just a link to change.
The old implementation typically involved a snippet containing GloriaFood-specific identifiers and a script reference. Searching your site's source for strings like glf-button, data-glf-cuid, data-glf-ruid, foodbooking.com, fbgcdn.com or ewm2.js will show you where that code lives. Check these locations in particular:
A few rules keep this step safe:
If your implementation team provides a website integration snippet for Delivety, add it in the same place the old GloriaFood widget code lived, following the setup instructions in your Delivety account. Always use the exact code from your own Delivety setup rather than copying an example from an article.
Many GloriaFood ordering links never touched your website. Customers reached them from Google, social profiles, messages and campaigns — and those links will not update themselves.
Take your Delivety direct ordering link and work through this list:
The Delivety direct ordering link is designed for exactly this: it works anywhere a normal link works, with no script required. After updating each channel, open the link from that channel — not from a bookmark — and confirm it lands on your Delivety ordering page.
A QR code is just a URL in visual form. If the URL behind it points to GloriaFood, the code has to be replaced — reprinting the same QR image achieves nothing, and a scanned dead link loses the sale on the spot.
GloriaFood actively promoted QR code ordering, so many restaurants have more GloriaFood QR codes in circulation than they realize. Check:
Generate your new QR code from your Delivety ordering URL. When a customer scans it, your standard Delivety ordering page opens on their phone — the same menu and checkout as every other entry point. Note that this is a standard online-ordering QR code: it opens your ordering page and does not identify a specific table or seat.
For printed materials, plan the replacement in waves: reprint high-traffic items first (table cards, window stickers), then work through packaging and long-lead print runs. Digital QR images — in PDFs and social posts — can be swapped immediately.
A significant share of customers never visits your website at all. They search your restaurant name on Google and tap the ordering link, or they order from your Instagram or Facebook profile.
That makes these links some of the most important — and most forgotten — parts of the switchover. None of them update automatically; you or your agency will need to change each one by hand:
Old GloriaFood links have a way of surviving in unexpected places — a two-year-old pinned post, a directory listing nobody remembers creating. Your inventory spreadsheet is the defense: add every discovered location to it and tick each one off when it is updated and tested.
If you are an agency managing restaurant websites, this is not one migration — it is ten, thirty or a hundred. The difference between a controlled rollout and a chaotic one is process, not effort.
A workflow that scales:
Handled this way, the GloriaFood shutdown becomes a service opportunity rather than a fire drill. Delivety's White Label for Agencies lets you run each client's ordering flow, link and QR code under your own brand, with separate menus, domains and settings per restaurant. For the commercial side of that transition, see the GloriaFood Partner Program alternative for agencies.
Test as a customer would, on real devices, before you consider the switchover done:
If any single item fails, fix it before removing the old entry point it replaces.
Once Delivety is live across your entry points, close out the old system deliberately:
During the transition period, you may keep the old system accessible internally while you verify the new flow. What you should not do is leave both ordering paths publicly active side by side for an extended time — customers should have one clear way to order.
One important caution: do not delete anything on the GloriaFood side before you have exported the data you need. Menu structures, customer information and order history should be secured first — the complete GloriaFood migration guide covers data and export planning.
Delivety gives restaurants and agencies a practical way to reconnect every customer entry point: an Order Now button for your existing website, a direct ordering link that works in any channel, a website-connected ordering experience and a QR code for print and digital materials.
And the entry point is only the beginning. Once a customer places an order, it can continue through Delivety's operational workflow — the Operator Dashboard, kitchen preparation, assembly, courier management, delivery zones and reporting. If you would rather not maintain your own site at all, the Delivety Ordering Website provides a complete hosted ordering site connected to the same dashboards.
Do I need to replace my GloriaFood order button?
Yes. Oracle has scheduled full end of service for GloriaFood products on March 31, 2027. Any button, link or QR code that points to GloriaFood needs a replacement before then — ideally well before, so you have time to test the new flow while the old one still works.
Where can old GloriaFood order links be hidden?
Beyond your website, check Google Business Profile, Facebook and Instagram profiles, TikTok, WhatsApp templates, email templates and signatures, SMS campaigns, paid ads, directory listings, PDF menus and every printed QR code — table cards, flyers, packaging, receipts and storefront signs.
How do I know whether my website uses a GloriaFood widget or a normal link?
Check what the button does. If it navigates to an ordering URL, it is a link. If an ordering window opens over your own site, it is the widget. You can also search your page source for strings like glf-button, data-glf-cuid or ewm2.js — if they appear, widget code is present.
Can I keep the same button design?
Yes. If your current button fits your brand and converts well, keep its look and change only its destination or action. Delivety's website integration can connect to a button you already have, and the direct ordering link can be attached to any normal button.
Should I remove the old GloriaFood code immediately?
No. Prepare and test your Delivety ordering flow first, switch the entry points, then remove the old code. Removing it first creates a window where customers cannot order. Just avoid leaving both ordering systems publicly active together for an extended period.
Do I need to replace GloriaFood QR codes?
Yes. A QR code encodes a URL, and if that URL points to GloriaFood it will eventually stop working. Generate a new QR code from your Delivety ordering link and replace it in digital materials immediately and in printed materials in planned waves.
Can Delivety give me a new direct ordering link?
Yes. Every restaurant on Delivety gets a direct ordering link that opens its branded ordering page. It works anywhere a link works — your website, Google Business Profile, social bios, email, SMS and ads — with no script required.
Can agencies replace GloriaFood buttons for multiple clients?
Yes. Each client restaurant gets its own Delivety ordering flow, link, QR code, menu and settings, managed separately. Agencies can run the whole setup under their own brand with White Label for Agencies, and roll out replacements client by client using a shared checklist.
What should I test before publishing the new button?
Place real test orders, not just clicks: pickup and delivery, on desktop and mobile, with modifiers and payment. Confirm delivery-zone rules apply, notifications fire, and the order reaches your Delivety dashboard and staff workflow.
Should I update Google Business Profile and social media links too?
Yes, and manually — these platforms do not update ordering links automatically. Many customers order straight from Google or a social profile without ever opening your website, so an outdated link there keeps feeding orders to the old system.
