GloriaFood is winding down.
Slerp is the upgrade.
Oracle is sunsetting GloriaFood by April 2027. Onboarding has already stopped and the product is frozen. Switch to Slerp, the UK’s online ordering platform with built-in delivery via Deliveroo Express and Uber Direct (and Just Eat Go from Q3 2027), a branded app with push notifications, loyalty, and CRM. Built by an operator, for operators. We move your menu, hours, delivery zones and customer data across for you, at no cost.
I founded Slerp in 2016 because I was an operator first. I scaled a hospitality business to 20+ sites and felt every commission, every clunky checkout, every customer I couldn’t talk to again. Slerp is the platform I wish I’d had. We are headquartered in London, focused on the UK market, and we have been around for 10 years. If you are switching from GloriaFood, you are not starting over. You are levelling up, and our team will move your setup across so you don’t have to lift a finger.

GloriaFood is being decommissioned by April 2027.
Oracle, who acquired GloriaFood as part of its hospitality business, has confirmed GloriaFood will be decommissioned by April 2027. New customer onboarding has already closed, the product is feature-frozen, and merchants are being directed to alternative platforms. For UK restaurants, that means: no new features, no roadmap, reduced support, and a hard date by which your ordering channel needs to be somewhere else.
Why GloriaFood users are looking right now
Three things every GloriaFood user is feeling. We name them because if you’re here, you’re feeling at least one.
The product is frozen
New onboarding is closed. There’s no roadmap, no new features, and no incentive for the team to help merchants grow. Every week you stay is a week your competition gets further ahead.
Delivery was always the weak link
GloriaFood relies on you having your own fleet, or skipping delivery altogether. In the UK, that means missing the channel where most digital orders now happen. Slerp gives you instant access to Deliveroo Express and Uber Direct riders out of the box, with Just Eat Go landing Q3 2027.
The customer experience is dated
Checkouts that don’t convert. UI that doesn’t look like your brand. No push notifications. No loyalty. No way to talk to your customers after the order. The bar has moved, and your customers know it.
Everything GloriaFood gave you, plus everything it didn’t
Built for the way UK restaurants run today: delivery sorted, brand-first, customer-owned.
Delivery, finally sorted
Instant access to Deliveroo Express and Uber Direct riders, with Just Eat Go arriving Q3 2027. Live tracking, automated dispatch, 7-day live support, and end-customer support included. No fleet to hire. No third-party app to send your customers to.
A premium ordering experience your brand deserves
Web ordering that converts at 7x the industry average. A branded app with push notifications (free), Apple Pay and Google Pay. Wallet-pass loyalty in-store and online. The kind of UX your customers expect from the brands they admire, now on yours.
You own the customer, not the platform
Every order builds your first-party data. Email and SMS marketing through our built-in CRM. Tiered loyalty that turns one-time orderers into regulars. Direct customers spend 32% more than marketplace customers, and you keep them.
Plays nicely with the rest of your stack
Run standalone with a tablet and printer, or integrate into your POS via Stream, Deliverect or Urban Piper. Whatever you’re running back of house, Slerp slots in.
