GloriaFood alternative
GloriaFood is shutting down. MenuBear is the no-commission replacement.
Oracle is retiring GloriaFood on April 30, 2027, with no migration tool and no successor product. MenuBear keeps what made GloriaFood worth using — a free QR menu with no commission on orders — and adds in-table ordering, a live kitchen board, reservations, and loyalty in one flat plan. Most restaurants migrate and go live the same day.
MenuBear vs GloriaFood
A fair, side-by-side look. GloriaFood's free ordering tier was genuinely strong — and MenuBear keeps that no-commission model — but GloriaFood is now end-of-life, and it never shipped multi-guest table tabs or a kanban kitchen board.

Why restaurants are switching to MenuBear
- It's not going away. MenuBear is actively developed and built for the long term, not winding down.
- Same no-commission promise. Flat monthly fee, never a cut of your orders.
- One tool, not add-ons. Ordering, kitchen board, reservations, loyalty, and analytics are included in Pro — no stacking $9–$59 features.
- Built for dine-in. Multi-guest table sessions let four guests share one QR code and each pay their own tab.
GloriaFood migration FAQ
Is GloriaFood really shutting down?
- Yes. Oracle, which acquired GloriaFood in 2021, is retiring the platform on April 30, 2027. It has stopped accepting new signups, and there is no Oracle migration tool and no named successor product. After the shutdown, ordering pages, QR codes, and menu data stop working, so restaurants need to move to another platform.
What is the best GloriaFood alternative for a restaurant?
- For an independent restaurant, MenuBear is a close fit: it keeps the free, no-commission QR menu that made GloriaFood popular, and adds in-table ordering, a live kitchen board, reservations, and loyalty in one flat €59-per-month plan. It is actively developed and hosted in the European Union.
Does MenuBear charge commission like delivery apps?
- No. Like GloriaFood, MenuBear never charges a commission on orders. You pay a flat monthly fee — the free Menu plan for a QR menu, or €59 per month for the full Pro operation. There are no per-order fees and no transaction cut on your sales.
How do I move from GloriaFood to MenuBear?
- You re-create your menu in MenuBear by pasting it, uploading a CSV or image, or typing it in. It auto-translates into 16 languages on save. Then you print fresh QR codes for your tables. Most restaurants are live the same day, well before the GloriaFood shutdown deadline.
