GloriaFood vs UpMenu Delivery

GloriaFood provides restaurants with online ordering for delivery, takeaway, and dine-in, plus table reservations and pre-ordering. Its free service plan includes website and mobile ordering, Facebook smart links, scheduled orders, QR code ordering, reports, promotions, and third-party integrations. Restaurants can share ordering links through Google Business Profile, Yelp, TripAdvisor, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. The iOS and Android order-taking app lets staff accept orders and bookings, mark items out of stock, pause services, and print accepted orders using a thermal printer. Listed integrations include Clover, Focus, Wolt, Lightspeed, and Shipday. Its Food Order API provides order details after a manager accepts an order, while the menu API supplies the latest menu to third-party systems. An optional payment service connects to a gateway, with payments going directly to the restaurant’s account. The free plan has unlimited orders and locations, no commission per order, and no monthly fee. GloriaFood will reach end of life on April 30, 2027; the maker says it will support existing customers through that date.
