FAQ
GloriaFood and doXmenu, answered
Yes. GloriaFood’s website says it will reach end of life on 30 April 2027 and that it will support existing customers until then (gloriafood.com, read on 30 September 2026). Oracle owns GloriaFood.
It depends on the job GloriaFood does for you. For pickup and delivery orders you need another ordering system; GloriaFood’s own notice names FoodAmigos. For the menu guests read at the table, doXmenu costs 12.99€ a month billed yearly, with 24 languages and the 14 EU allergens.
The core ordering system is free, with no commission and no monthly fee.

Before 30 April 2027, with time to spare. Set up the new menu while GloriaFood still runs, then swap the QR codes and links; doXmenu’s first month is free, so you can run both side by side.
No. doXmenu is the menu guests read at the table: waiter call, bill request and table ordering work once table service is on, but it takes no pickup or delivery orders.
No, you print new ones, because a doXmenu QR code opens your doXmenu menu. The code is ready as soon as the menu is, and in Europe and the Balkans you can order table stands and stickers from the doXmenu shop.
No. Guests scan the QR code with the phone camera and the menu opens in the browser, with no app and no sign-up.
