POSSO
GLORIAFOOD CLOSES 30 APRIL 2027

GloriaFood Is Shutting Down. Posso Is the Upgrade.

Oracle is closing GloriaFood for good. Posso moves your menu, online ordering, and customers across — and replaces it with something better: a branded website and app, a full ePOS system, and delivery integrations in one place.

  • Free migration — we import your GloriaFood menu for you
  • Branded ordering website & mobile app, low commission
  • Just Eat, Uber Eats & Deliveroo straight to your POS
  • Live in 24–48 hours with free setup, training & UK support

The GloriaFood Shutdown: What Was Announced

Oracle, which acquired GloriaFood in 2021, has confirmed that the platform will close permanently on 30 April 2027. This is not a rebrand or a merger — accounts, the partner programme, and the product itself are being wound down.

Over 123,000 restaurants worldwide built their online ordering on GloriaFood, including thousands of UK takeaways and restaurants. For all of them, the situation is the same:

  • New signups have already closed — the product is frozen with no roadmap.
  • Oracle is not providing a migration tool — moving your data is on you.
  • On shutdown day, website ordering widgets and Facebook ordering buttons stop working.
  • Menus, customer data, delivery zones, and order history become inaccessible.

The good news: switching early turns a forced shutdown into a free upgrade. Posso already integrates with GloriaFood, so your menu can come across without re-keying — and you end up with more than you had before.

Why Operators Aren't Waiting Until 2027

The deadline is April 2027, but the risks start much earlier. Here is why UK restaurants and takeaways are moving now.

The Product Is Frozen

New signups are closed, there is no development roadmap, and no new features are coming. Every month you stay is a month on a platform that is winding down — while your competitors move to systems that keep improving.

Your Data Disappears

Oracle is not providing a migration tool. When the platform closes, menus, customer lists, delivery zones, and order history go with it. Exporting your data early — while everything still works — is the only safe option.

Ordering Goes Dark Overnight

On shutdown day, the ordering widget on your website stops working and Facebook ordering buttons stop working. If you have not switched by then, your online ordering revenue stops with them.

Why Posso Is the Natural Next Step

Don't just replace GloriaFood — upgrade it. Posso gives you everything GloriaFood did, plus the POS, kiosks, and delivery integrations it never had.

Your Own Branded Ordering Website

A modern, mobile-friendly online ordering website built to convert visitors into paying customers — a direct replacement for your GloriaFood widget, on your own domain, with your branding.

Branded Mobile App

Your own app on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, putting your brand directly in your customers’ pockets. Plus a listing on the FoodBooking marketplace that drives new local customers — partners see up to 11% of total sales from it.

A Complete ePOS, Not Just Ordering

GloriaFood stopped at online ordering. Posso includes a full touchscreen ePOS, kitchen display, table management, and self-order kiosks — every order from every channel lands in one system. Offline-first, so service never stops.

Delivery Platforms, Integrated

Just Eat, Uber Eats, and Deliveroo orders appear directly on your POS and kitchen display. No extra tablets, no re-keying — something GloriaFood never solved.

Low Commission — Keep Your Margin

Orders through your own website and app carry a low commission, a fraction of the 25–35% the big aggregators charge. No commission on in-store POS sales. Transparent pricing you can plan around.

Free Migration & UK Support

We import your GloriaFood menu, set up your delivery zones, brand your store, and train your team — setup and training are free. UK-based support on 0808 175 3956, with remote assistance when you need it.

Posso vs GloriaFood: Side by Side

An honest comparison. GloriaFood's free plan served a lot of takeaways well — but the platform is closing, and Posso covers far more of your operation.

GloriaFood Alternative — Frequently Asked Questions

Is GloriaFood really shutting down?

Yes. Oracle, which acquired GloriaFood in 2021, has confirmed the platform will close permanently on 30 April 2027. New signups have already stopped, the product is no longer being developed, and Oracle is not providing a migration tool. Restaurants need to move to an alternative before the deadline.

What happens to my GloriaFood ordering system after the shutdown?

When GloriaFood goes dark, the ordering widget on your website will stop working, Facebook ordering buttons will stop working, and payment processing through the platform will be cut off. Your menus, customer data, delivery zones, and order history will no longer be accessible — which is why it is important to export your data and migrate early.

What is the best GloriaFood alternative in the UK?

Posso is a UK-based GloriaFood alternative that goes further than a like-for-like swap: you get a branded online ordering website and mobile app, plus a full ePOS system, kitchen display, self-order kiosks, and Just Eat, Uber Eats, and Deliveroo integrations — all in one system with UK-based support.

GloriaFood was free — how much does Posso cost?

GloriaFood’s free plan was the hook, but the features most takeaways actually needed — branded apps, payment processing, promotions — sat in paid add-ons. Posso is transparent: a complete ePOS system from £499 + VAT, self-order kiosks from £699 + VAT, low-commission online ordering, and free setup and training. Finance is available from £24.92 per week.

Can Posso import my menu from GloriaFood?

Yes. Posso already integrates with GloriaFood (via Hubrise), so we can bring your menu across rather than re-keying it from scratch. Our team rebuilds your categories, modifiers, prices, and opening hours, and helps you export your customer data from GloriaFood before the shutdown.

How long does it take to switch from GloriaFood to Posso?

Most restaurants and takeaways are fully live within 24–48 hours. We handle the menu import, delivery zones, settings, branding, and staff training — setup and training are free.

Will I lose my customers when GloriaFood closes?

Not if you move early. We help you export your customer list from GloriaFood while the platform is still running, then bring those customers across to your new Posso-powered website and app. The longer you wait, the greater the risk of losing access to that data.

Do I get my own branded website and app like GloriaFood offered?

Yes — and better. Posso gives you a modern, mobile-friendly online ordering website plus your own branded app on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. You can also be listed on the FoodBooking marketplace, which drives new local customers; our partners see up to 11% of total sales from it.

Does Posso integrate with delivery platforms?

Yes. Posso integrates with Just Eat, Uber Eats, and Deliveroo, so every delivery order appears directly on your POS and kitchen display — no extra tablets and no re-keying. GloriaFood never offered this level of delivery platform integration.

Does Posso charge commission like the delivery apps?

Orders through your own Posso website and app carry a low commission — a fraction of the 25–35% charged by the major aggregators. There is no commission on in-store POS transactions, so you keep more of every sale.

Is Posso a full POS system or just online ordering?

Both. Unlike GloriaFood, which was online ordering only, Posso is a complete hospitality system: touchscreen ePOS, kitchen display, table management, self-order kiosks, card machines, digital signage, and online ordering all work together out of the box. The POS is offline-first, so you can keep taking orders even if the internet drops.

When should I switch from GloriaFood?

Now, rather than close to the April 2027 deadline. The product is already frozen, support is winding down, and thousands of restaurants will be scrambling to migrate at the same time as the shutdown approaches. Moving early means a calm switchover, your customer data safely exported, and no risk of your ordering channel going dark overnight.

Don't Wait for the Shutdown

GloriaFood closes on 30 April 2027 and your data goes with it. Switch to Posso now — free migration, free setup and training, and live within 24–48 hours.
