5 Reasons to Ditch GloriaFood (Before It Ditches You)

GloriaFood gave restaurants a taste of commission-free ordering. But it was always holding you back. Here's why the shutdown is actually an opportunity.

GloriaFood's shutdown is being treated as a disaster by the restaurants that used it. But for many of them, it's actually an opportunity to upgrade to something that does more, costs less in the long run, and supports them instead of just providing software.

Here are 5 reasons to treat the GloriaFood shutdown as a win.

1. GloriaFood Never Had Marketing Support

GloriaFood gave you a free ordering page and then left you alone. Getting customers to use it? Your problem. Driving repeat orders? Your problem. Growing your online revenue? You figure it out.

Boom includes done-for-you email marketing and SMS campaigns. We're actively working to grow your online order volume — not just processing them.

2. GloriaFood's Interface Was Outdated

The GloriaFood customer experience was functional but dated. No modern photo galleries, no clean category navigation, no smooth mobile checkout.

Boom's ordering page is built in 2026 — fast, mobile-first, conversion-optimized, and 100% branded to your restaurant.

3. You Were One Oracle Decision Away From This Moment

Which is exactly what happened. GloriaFood was owned by Oracle, a company that has no particular investment in your restaurant's success. When it stopped making sense for Oracle's product line, it was gone.

Boom is a small company built specifically for restaurant owners. We don't have a parent company that might shut us down.

4. GloriaFood Had No KDS or POS Integration

If you wanted a kitchen display system or tablet POS, GloriaFood offered nothing. You needed separate hardware and software from another vendor.

Boom includes KDS and tablet POS on Growth and Pro plans.

5. The Timing Is Perfect to Upgrade

The restaurant industry is in the middle of a tech transition. Operators who use this moment to get on a modern, full-service platform will be ahead of competitors who scramble back to DIY solutions.

Migrate to Boom now and you'll start growing from day one — not just replacing what you lost.
