GloriaFood is shutting down. We compare the best alternatives — Toast, Square, ChowNow, Boom — so you can make the right call for your restaurant.
With GloriaFood shutting down, restaurant owners are scrambling to find a replacement. The market is full of options — but most come with hidden costs, commissions, or require you to do all the setup work yourself.
Here's an honest breakdown of your options.
GloriaFood's appeal was simple: free software, 0% commission, and a white-labeled ordering page that made it look like you built it yourself. The trade-off was a dated interface and limited support.
The best GloriaFood alternative should keep what worked — commission-free, white-label — while fixing what didn't.
Price: $450–$850/month flat | Commission: 0%
Boom was built specifically as a GloriaFood replacement. The key differences: we set everything up for you in 48 hours (GloriaFood was DIY), we include done-for-you marketing (GloriaFood had none), and we offer a 3x ROI guarantee.
Best for: Restaurants that want the GloriaFood commission model but with actual support and marketing help.
Price: $69–$165+/month | Commission: Per-order fees on online orders
Toast is a full restaurant tech stack but requires hardware investment and the setup cost is significant. Not a simple GloriaFood swap.
Price: Free–$60/month | Commission: 0.5% + processing on online orders
Square is cheaper but the online ordering experience is heavily Square-branded. Not white-label. Good for simple use cases.
Price: ~$199–$399/month | Commission: 0%
ChowNow is commission-free and restaurant-friendly. Setup takes longer and the done-for-you services cost extra.
Price: Free–$99/month | Commission: 0%
CloudWaitress is similar in spirit to GloriaFood — DIY, commission-free, basic. No marketing support.
If you want the spirit of GloriaFood (commission-free, your brand) but with professional setup and marketing support, Boom is the direct upgrade. If you just want the cheapest possible option and are happy doing everything yourself, CloudWaitress or Square may work.
For most restaurants migrating from GloriaFood, Boom makes the most financial sense when you factor in what you save on setup time and marketing.
We migrate restaurants from GloriaFood in 48 hours. Commission-free. Done for you.
