The Online Ordering System By GloriaFood Complete With New Self-Management Panel

Restaurant owners can now take full control over their online ordering platform

Product launch May 28, 2014

Bucharest, May 28, 2014: GloriaFood is releasing today a self-management restaurant administration panel which enables restaurant owners to implement the online ordering system extremely fast, without the help of any support teams.

After several months from launching the core platform in technology-preview mode, discussing intensively with early-adopter restaurants around their valuable feedback and after working closely with enthusiastic web experts on how to turn typical flows into awesome features, GloriaFood is now ready to present to the general public its simplified proposal for the online ordering food industry, with the special focus on small and medium restaurants.

In today’s online food ordering industry, the large food portals can take around a week or more to integrate online ordering for a new restaurant. But with the real-time admin panel of GloriaFood, restaurant owners save up a considerable amount of time at zero costs.

With this release, Gloriafood becomes the first and so far the only real-time food ordering platform with the most extensive feature-set in a free service plan, especially designed for restaurants interested to build a steady base of frequent ordering clients online.

Restaurant owners can get instant access to the administration panel after signing up on the company’s website, www.gloriafood.com. The average setup time is around 15 minutes, excluding the food menu editing, which mainly depends on the restaurant’s offering variety; however, the typical take-out menus are ready in less than 1 hour.

The self-management panel includes:

  • the restaurant’s basic pinpoint information: name, address, opening hours
  • pickup and delivery options: intuitively draw multiple delivery areas, set multi-zone fees directly on the map
  • inserting the menu with the use of the on-the-fly menu editor
  • direct mobile download of the GloriaFood order-taking app
  • quick install of the Facebook app for online ordering on the restaurant’s Facebook page
  • easy and quick install of the website ordering widget by copy-pasting a simple HTML code

One of the most powerful features inside the admin panel comes in the form of a menu editor, a highly intuitive tool that allows restaurant owners to insert and organize menus by themselves. Enabling customization of menu categories and items, everything from prices to new items and specials can be updated regularly using the menu editor. Moreover, all changes in the menu will appear in real-time in the GloriaFood website widget and/or Facebook app.

Inside the menu editor, restaurant owners can:

  • edit (countless) menu categories and items
  • edit a description for each menu item
  • set price per item
  • add toppings, extras, add-ons
  • set different sizes

The admin panel has a real-time quality: as soon as all the setup steps have been completed, the restaurant is ready to take online orders using the GloriaFood system.

With the development of the self-management panel, GloriaFood reinforces the value proposition to its restaurant members: to provide them with a feeling of independence and control over their clients’ online ordering experience with each step of the process.
