Orders.co Launches AI Menu Migration for GloriaFood Restaurants Ahead of March 2027 Shutdown

New builder rebuilds a restaurant’s full ordering menu – including pizza modifier logic – from a single GloriaFood link

Los Angeles, CA  (RestaurantNews.com)  Thousands of independent restaurants will lose their online ordering system when GloriaFood reaches full end of service on March 31, 2027. Orders.co launched an AI-assisted migration workflow that rebuilds a restaurant’s complete ordering menu and website from nothing more than its existing GloriaFood link.

Oracle, which acquired GloriaFood in 2021, has stopped accepting new signups and confirmed the March 2027 shutdown date. Existing customers will continue to receive support during the transition – but every GloriaFood restaurant now needs a replacement platform, and most operators don’t have time to rebuild a menu by hand.

“Restaurant menus are not flat files,” said Arsen Stepanyan, co-founder and CEO of Orders.co. “A pizza can carry size rules, crust choices, topping groups, and quantity limits. A successful migration has to preserve those relationships, not simply copy the words on the page. The AI handles the first pass, and the restaurant reviews the result before it goes live.”

The hard part of migration is menu logic, not menu text

Moving an online menu involves more than transferring names and prices. A topping listed in an item description is not the same as a topping configured as an orderable modifier with its own price, selection limits, and quantity rules.

Pizzerias feel this most. A single pizza can carry several sizes, crust options, topping groups, extra-topping quantities, minimum and maximum selections, and separate choices for each half. GloriaFood’s own documentation describes half-and-half pizza configurations built from separate modifier groups with min/max selection rules – exactly the kind of structure that breaks when a replacement platform imports the menu as a flat list.

The Orders.co builder is designed to interpret those relationships. It scans the menu data available through the restaurant’s GloriaFood link, identifies categories, items, descriptions, prices, images, and modifier structure, and maps them into a new ordering menu and website, including quantity-based modifier logic, so the migrated menu reflects how customers actually customize their orders.

“The support we have received has been top-notch from start to finish. Whether it is the POS, our providers, online ordering, or marketing, there is always someone ready to help, and they always get it right,” – Prego Pizzeria.

From link to live site

The operator enters their GloriaFood menu URL into the builder, which generates a first version of the new website in under 30 seconds. From there, the restaurant works with the Orders.co onboarding team to verify prices, modifier rules, ordering hours, payment settings, and fulfillment options before publishing. A reviewed and configured website can typically go live within about two hours of an onboarding conversation, depending on the menu’s size and complexity.

More than a menu: what the migrated restaurant runs on

Migrating off GloriaFood is the starting point. Once the new website is live, the same Orders.co account handles the day-to-day systems most independent operators otherwise stitch together from separate tools.

Menu Management that updates everywhere at once

Operators edit prices, items, and availability in one place, and the changes push out across their ordering channels – so the menu customers see stays accurate without updating each platform by hand. That means no more mismatched prices between the website and the delivery apps, and no scramble to remove a sold-out item in four systems during a rush. One update keeps every channel consistent, which cuts both customer complaints and staff confusion.

Point of Sale that fits how the restaurant already works

Orders.co can serve as the restaurant’s POS or run alongside an existing one, so operators don’t have to rip out a system their staff already know. Either way, direct and delivery orders land in a single system instead of a row of tablets, cutting the manual re-entry that leads to wrong and missed orders. Restaurants can start by consolidating delivery and reporting and move the full POS over later, on their own timeline.

AI Dispatch that assigns the right driver automatically

When a delivery order comes in, Orders.co’s AI Dispatch matches it to a driver automatically, weighing estimated delivery time, driver rating, and price – so each order goes out with the best available balance of speed, reliability, and cost instead of the operator picking a courier by hand for every ticket. During a busy dinner rush, that removes a decision the staff would otherwise make dozens of times an hour. The result is a more consistent delivery experience for guests without adding work behind the counter.

Custom Ordering Website to take direct orders

Every migrated restaurant gets a branded ordering website of its own, so guests can order directly from the restaurant, and more of the revenue from each order stays with the operator rather than going to a third-party marketplace. Just as importantly, those orders come with the customer’s information, so the restaurant builds a direct relationship instead of renting access to its own guests through a delivery app. Over time, that direct channel becomes an asset the operator owns rather than one they pay commission to reach.

Marketing Solutions that bring customers back

Built-in SMS and email tools let operators send targeted promotions and win-back messages automatically, turning one-time and delivery-app customers into repeat direct orders without a separate marketing platform. Because guest data lives in the same system, operators can segment customers – first-timers, regulars, lapsed guests – and send each group a message that actually fits. It’s the kind of retention marketing chains run with full teams, packaged for a restaurant that doesn’t have one.

Loyalty Reward Program to grow repeat business

A points-and-rewards program lets restaurants reward repeat customers with points and offers, encouraging the return visits that build steadier, more predictable revenue. Guests earn and redeem across the restaurant’s ordering channels, so the program follows them whether they order online or in person. For the operator, that turns occasional customers into regulars and softens the reliance on winning a brand-new guest for every order.

Local Business Optimization to get found

Orders.co helps operators improve their local online visibility, so nearby diners searching for food can find and order from the restaurant directly, rather than discovering it only inside a delivery app. That means showing up when someone nearby searches for the kind of food the restaurant serves, then sending them to the restaurant’s own ordering page. It’s how an independent operator competes for local attention against chains with dedicated marketing budgets.
