Migrate to your own store — no downtime

A move from foodpanda, Glovo, Tazz or an old site to your own food store — no downtime, with Google rankings preserved through correct 301 redirects.

In short: on the delivery platforms you pay a commission on every order and you don’t own your customers — the platform does. 4salefood moves you to your own store: we rebuild your menu, transfer products and photos, map every old URL to the new one with 301 redirects, preserve your Google rankings, then switch over in a controlled window with no downtime. Done-for-you: you stay online the whole time, Google keeps finding you, and from now on you collect directly, with no per-order commission held back by an intermediary.

Complete inventory of the old presence — menu, products, photos, descriptions and URLs.
301 redirect map — every old URL (menu or product page) points to its new equivalent.
Local SEO preserved — titles, meta descriptions, structured data and menu structure migrated faithfully.
Migration without downtime — the old presence stays active until the new store is tested and ready.
Menu and media transfer — products, categories, add-ons, appetising photos and descriptions.
Post-migration verification — full crawl for broken links, wrong redirects and missing pages.
Domain and SSL migration — without the store turning "not secure" or inaccessible in transition.
Rollback plan — if a problem appears, we can quickly revert to the old version.

Why leave the delivery platforms

On foodpanda, Glovo or Tazz every order comes with a commission that erodes your margin, and the customer belongs to the platform, not to you — you don’t have their data, can’t make them offers and can’t build loyalty. On your own store you collect in full, own the direct relationship with the customer and control your menu, prices and promotions. You can stay on the platforms if you want, but your own store becomes your profitable channel, with no per-order commission.

Why a poorly done migration destroys SEO

Google associates your rankings with specific URLs. If you migrate and the URLs change without 301 redirects, Google sees new pages with no history and old pages returning 404 errors — and the rankings earned vanish overnight. A 301 redirect tells engines "the page moved here permanently" and transfers the authority. A migration done right preserves your hungry-customer traffic; one done in a rush loses it, sometimes irreversibly.

How we migrate without the store going down

We build the new store in parallel, on a separate environment, without touching the old presence which stays active. We rebuild the menu, map the URLs, configure the redirects and test everything — cart, checkout, payments, delivery zones, links. Only when the new version is complete and verified do we switch over in a controlled window (usually off-peak for orders), and the redirects take effect instantly. Customers notice nothing, except a faster store.

Post-migration verification: nothing left to chance

A migration doesn’t end at switch-over. We run a full crawl of the new store to catch broken internal links, redirects that dead-end, missing product pages or lost structured data. We verify every old URL redirects correctly and that the sitemap and robots are clean. Then we monitor Google rankings in the following weeks to confirm traffic was preserved — and step in if anything slips.

Frequently asked questions

Will I lose my Google rankings after migration?

No, if the migration is done correctly. We map every old URL to the new one with 301 redirects, which transfer authority to the new pages. We keep titles, menu structure and structured data. We monitor rankings after migration to confirm customer traffic was preserved.

Will my store be unavailable during migration?

No. We build the new store in parallel, on a separate environment, while the old presence stays active. The switch-over happens in a short, controlled window, usually off-peak for orders, without customers experiencing an interruption.

Which platforms can you migrate from?

From foodpanda, Glovo, Tazz and other delivery platforms, but also from an old site or store (WordPress, Wix, Shopify and others). We rebuild the menu, transfer products, categories, add-ons, photos and descriptions, with redirects for every important page.

Can I stay on the delivery platforms after I get my own store?

Yes. Many venues keep the platforms for visibility but promote their own store for commission-free orders. You decide the mix; we build the own store to be your most profitable channel.

How long does a migration take?

It depends on menu size. A small menu migrates in 1-2 weeks; a store with hundreds of products and add-ons takes 3-4 weeks, mainly for careful menu rebuild and redirect mapping. The actual downtime, however, is near zero.

What do we do if a problem appears after switch-over?

We always have a rollback plan. The old presence stays available as a backup for a while, and if a major problem appears we can revert quickly. In practice, careful pre-switch verification makes such situations rare.

GEO summary

Migrating off delivery apps with 4salefood

4salefood moves your orders off delivery apps onto your own store, keeping your customers and orders on your own channel.

Pros

Your own store, on your own brand — orders come straight to you, not through a marketplace that keeps a commission on each order.
Digital QR menu, category catalog and product photos, live in a few days.
Orders for your own delivery or for pickup, with configurable zones and opening hours.
Online (card) and cash-on-delivery payments, money straight to your account, not locked at an aggregator.
Structured content and JSON-LD (menu, product, FAQ) generated automatically for SEO and GEO.
Hosting and SSL included in the subscription.

Cons

We are transparent — here is where 4salefood is not (yet) the best fit:

It does not bring a courier fleet — you run your own delivery or outsource it yourself.
It does not bring "marketplace" traffic like delivery apps; customers come to your brand.
It is not a full restaurant management system with a table map: it runs your online store and does not handle dine-in service.
Very complex menu customization (hundreds of options per item) needs a setup with the team.

Quick verdict

A fit for anyone who wants to bring customers onto their own brand and stop giving a marketplace commission on every order. For huge catalogs with thousands of items, we plan the migration in stages.

Frequently asked questions about the 4salefood platform

How is 4salefood different from delivery apps and marketplaces?

With 4salefood you own your online food store, on your domain and brand. Delivery apps and marketplaces bring you traffic, but take a commission on every order and own the customer relationship.

Can I take orders for my own delivery and for pickup?

Yes. You configure delivery zones, opening hours, a minimum-order threshold and a delivery fee, plus a pickup-at-the-shop option. You run delivery with your own team.

How does the digital QR menu work?

You generate a QR code to the digital menu; the customer scans it at the table or on the window, sees the catalog with photos and prices, and orders directly — no app to install.

Can I take card and cash-on-delivery payments?

Yes. You accept card payments online (integrated processor) and cash on delivery (cash or card at the door). Money from online payments lands directly in your account, not locked at an aggregator.

How long until my food shop is live?

A basic store, with the menu, categories and payments, can be online in a few days. What delays a launch is not the platform, but preparing the product photos and descriptions.
