The Complete Guide to Leaving GloriaFood (Step-by-Step)

How to migrate your restaurant from GloriaFood to Boom Online Ordering — preserving your menu, SEO, and customer relationships.

If you're on GloriaFood and need to migrate, this is the guide. We'll cover exporting your data, choosing a new platform, migrating your menu, preserving your SEO, and getting back to taking orders quickly.

Before You Start: Export Everything

Menu export: Log into GloriaFood → Settings → Export Menu. Save the JSON file. This contains all your categories, items, descriptions, prices, and modifiers.

Order history: Export your order history if GloriaFood provides it. You'll want this for customer email lists.

Customer data: Any customer emails you've collected through GloriaFood should be exported now.

Screenshots: Take screenshots of your existing page — hero images, category photos, how you've organized your menu.

Step 1: Choose Your New Platform

We're biased, but here's the honest criteria: - Commission: 0% commission means you keep everything. Boom, ChowNow, CloudWaitress all offer this. - Setup: Do they set it up for you or do you DIY? If you're moving because GloriaFood is shutting down, you probably don't want to spend two weeks setting up a new system. - Marketing: Does the platform actively help you grow or just process orders? - Support: Can you call or email a human who knows your account?

Step 2: Migrate Your Menu

Send your exported GloriaFood JSON to your new platform. At Boom, we take your export and rebuild your menu in our system — categories, items, photos, modifiers, and all. This takes us about 24 hours.

Important: Review every item carefully when the migration is done. Pay special attention to modifier groups and pricing — these can sometimes lose formatting in the export/import process.

Step 3: Protect Your SEO

If your GloriaFood page was indexed by Google, you'll want to 301 redirect the old URL to your new one. This preserves your search rankings. Boom handles this as part of setup.

If you had a custom domain pointed at GloriaFood, update your DNS to point to your new Boom page. We'll walk you through this.

Step 4: Update All Your Links

  • Google My Business "Order" button → update to new URL
  • Instagram/Facebook bio → update
  • Any print materials, menus, signs with QR codes → reprint with new URL
  • Website ordering link → update

Step 5: Tell Your Customers

Send an email to your customer list: "We've moved our ordering page! Order here now: [new URL]". Put it on social media. Put a note in the restaurant.

Most of your regular online customers will find the new page naturally through Google, but proactive communication prevents any drop in orders during the transition.

Boom's Migration Timeline

Day 1: Sign up, send us your GloriaFood export Day 2: We build your Boom ordering page Day 3: You review and approve (or request changes) Day 4: Your new page goes live Day 5–7: DNS updates propagate, old URL 301 redirects to new

Total downtime: Zero. Your GloriaFood page stays up until you cut over.
