Is FoodAmigos the official GloriaFood replacement?

Updated 10 November 2026 · Arslan Munir

In short: no. Oracle's own notice says it "does not offer a direct replacement" for GloriaFood and mentions FoodAmigos as a third-party provider for restaurants that choose to move there. Naming a provider is not the same as endorsing or replacing the service, and the choice is yours. This post was checked on 10 November 2026.

What Oracle actually says

The banner on gloriafood.com says GloriaFood will reach end of life on 30 April 2027, and that while Oracle does not offer a direct replacement for GloriaFood products and services, it wants to make restaurants aware of FoodAmigos, a restaurant technology provider that offers online ordering and related solutions, with onboarding resources for GloriaFood customers who choose to move.

Oracle’s end-of-life FAQ (version 1.0, March 2026) is more specific about what restaurants should do:

Work out which GloriaFood services you use, such as online ordering, point of sale or Oracle Payment.
Evaluate alternatives against your own requirements. Oracle says it cannot recommend specific third-party providers.
Move to an alternative before the end-of-life date to avoid disruption.
Check your renewals. They follow your normal term and are only accepted up to one month before 30 April 2027, so a paid service can end earlier than the 30th.
Plan for your data: after your service ends, the FAQ says you can retrieve your data for 30 days.

So FoodAmigos is an option Oracle has pointed to. It is not an Oracle product, it is not mandatory and it is not the only route. Chefzi is not affiliated with Oracle, GloriaFood or FoodAmigos, and we have not tested FoodAmigos, so this page makes no claim about its price or features.

Questions to ask any replacement, including us

Whichever provider you pick, ask these before you sign, and get the answers in writing:

What does it cost per month, and is anything charged per order? Check for commission, customer service fees and card fees separately.
Who owns the customer details and order history? You should be able to export them.
How does my menu move across? Ask whether someone sets it up for you and how long that takes.
How do my existing links and buttons change? Anything that still points at GloriaFood stops working when it closes.
What is the contract? Look at the minimum term, the notice period and what happens if you leave.
How are orders delivered to my kitchen? A tablet or phone that rings until you accept is different from an email.
What happens to my payments set-up? If you use Oracle Payment through GloriaFood, plan how you will take card payments instead.
