GloriaFood Alternative: Why Restaurants Are Switching to Boom
GloriaFood has been a popular choice for restaurants looking to get online. But as commissions add up and platform limitations become clear, thousands of restaurant owners are asking: Is there a better alternative?
The answer is yes. Enter Boom Online Ordering, the GloriaFood alternative that restaurants are choosing to reclaim their margins and own their customer relationships.
The GloriaFood Problem
GloriaFood serves a purpose, but it comes with steep costs—literally.
- 5-7% commission on every order
- You don't own your customer data — GloriaFood does
- Limited customization of your ordering page
- No built-in marketing tools to drive orders
- You're locked into their ecosystem
For a restaurant doing $30,000/month in online orders, that's $1,800-2,100/month in commissions alone. Over a year, that's $21,600-25,200 in fees going to GloriaFood instead of your bottom line.
Restaurant with $30K/month in online orders paying GloriaFood 6% = $1,800/month in commissions = $21,600/year.
That's enough to hire another staff member or invest in marketing.
The Boom Advantage
Boom Online Ordering is built on a simple premise: restaurants should keep 100% of their order revenue.
1. Zero Commission
Unlike GloriaFood's 5-7% cut, Boom charges 0% commission. Every dollar your customers spend goes to you. Full stop.
2. You Own Your Customers
Your customer email, phone number, order history, and preferences belong to you. Not GloriaFood. Not another platform. You. This is crucial for building loyalty and direct marketing.
3. White-Label Ordering Page
Your ordering page is 100% branded with your logo, colors, and messaging. It's not some generic interface with "Powered by GloriaFood" in the corner. It's your storefront, your way.
4. AI Marketing Included
Boom includes AI-powered marketing tools that GloriaFood charges extra for or doesn't offer:
- AI Daily Insights — Emails every morning with sales trends and one action recommendation
- AI Smart Upsells — Claude reasons about what items to recommend to each customer
- AI Win-Back Campaigns — Auto-reengages lapsed customers at 21, 30, and 45 days
- Seasonal Menu Ideas — Quarterly suggestions for what to offer
5. Lower Cost Than GloriaFood
Boom's pricing starts at $450/month for Starter (small volume), $650 for Growth (most restaurants), and $850 for Pro (high-volume/multi-location).
Even at the highest tier, you're paying less per month than you'd save in commissions from just $10K in monthly orders.

The Real Cost of GloriaFood
Let's do the math on what you're actually paying GloriaFood:
- $10K/month in orders × 6% = $600/month = $7,200/year
- $20K/month in orders × 6% = $1,200/month = $14,400/year
- $30K/month in orders × 6% = $1,800/month = $21,600/year
- $50K/month in orders × 6% = $3,000/month = $36,000/year
At Boom's highest tier ($850/month), you're paying $10,200/year. Even if you're doing $20K/month in orders on GloriaFood, you're saving $4,200/year by switching to Boom.
