GloriaFood Is Shutting Down — Here's What Restaurants Need to Do Next

GloriaFood, the online ordering system used by tens of thousands of restaurants worldwide, is shutting down. If your restaurant relies on GloriaFood for online orders, you need to act now. Here's what's happening and exactly what you should do.

When GloriaFood closes, your ordering widget will stop working. Any customer who tries to place an order through your old link will see an error. Your menu, order history and customer data hosted on GloriaFood will no longer be accessible.

The Immediate Risk: Your Ordering Link Goes Dead

Every restaurant that used GloriaFood has a link or widget somewhere — on their website, Google Business profile, Facebook page, or printed on menus and QR codes in-store. When GloriaFood shuts down, all of those entry points stop working.

For a restaurant that takes 50% or more of its orders online, this is not a minor inconvenience. It is a direct, immediate hit to revenue. Every day without a live ordering system is orders lost forever.

What to Do Right Now: 5 Actions in Order of Priority

1. Set up a new ordering system — today

Sign up for ShopexHub at shopexhub.be/for-restaurants/onboarding/, enter your restaurant details and menu, and get a new ordering link live. This takes under 30 minutes.

2. Update your Google Business profile

Google Business is the highest-traffic source for most local restaurants. Update your "order online" link immediately. This takes 5 minutes.

3. Update your website

Replace any ordering widget, button or link on your own website with your ShopexHub ordering link.

4. Update Facebook and Instagram

Update your Facebook Page "Order Food" button and your Instagram bio link. Post a short message to let your followers know you're still accepting online orders.

5. Replace QR codes in your restaurant

Any printed QR codes linking to your old system are now dead. Generate new QR codes from your ShopexHub dashboard and replace them at tables, on your counter, and on printed menus.

How Long Will All This Take?

Getting your new ordering system live: 30 minutes. Updating Google Business: 5 minutes. Updating your website: 15–30 minutes. Updating social media: 10 minutes. Replacing QR codes: 30 minutes.

Total: 2–3 hours from start to fully transitioned. Start with step 1 and work down the list.

This Is Also Your Chance to Build Something Better

Moving to ShopexHub is not just a forced migration — it's a genuine upgrade. ShopexHub gives you everything GloriaFood offered, plus a built-in POS, table reservations, a self-order kiosk, and — most importantly — 100% ownership of your customer database.
