PlateTicket vs GloriaFood
Short answer
Verdict: GloriaFood is free and familiar, but it shuts down April 30, 2027 with no data export — so this isn't really "replace or not," it's "move before the deadline." PlateTicket is also commission-free and adds pre-order drops, a production sheet, and a migration path that rebuilds your menu. If you cook to demand, don't just replace GloriaFood — upgrade.
