Some examples of individual menus you can create are: Breakfast Brunch Lunch Dinner Wine Drinks Snacks Cafe Menu Specialties The possibilities are endless! More Features! Several additional features are included that will help ensure you’re able to set your restaurant menu up easily and with all the options you need.

Food Ordering (Requires Ultimate Version) The ultimate version of the Five Star Restaurant Menu plugin lets you add a complete food ordering system to your restaurant website. Stop paying commissions to third-party services and start offering ordering directly on your site. Key features of the food ordering platform include: Add-to-cart buttons for all restaurant menu items. Intuitive cart that fits into any theme and lets customers easily add items directly from the your restaurant menu and check out. Options to have the responsive cart display at the bottom of the screen or on the side. Require payment immediately or give your customer the option to pay at the restaurant. Use Stripe payment intents (see below for details) or PayPal as your payment gateway. Create unlimited notifications, which can be sent via email and/or SMS to the restaurant admin and the customer when a new order is placed and/or whenever the status is changed for a food order. Easy-to-use admin interface lets you quickly manage your orders. Advanced order edit screen, via which you can update the customer information, the items in the order, the order status as well as the payment amount.

There are also options to enable advanced ordering features, which let you have multiple prices per item as well as add-ons that guests can select when adding items to their cart. From the cart, you can then increase and decrease the quantity, remove items and view any special requests or add-ons. Checkout is a breeze with the included options. You can set it so that customers are required to pay right away at checkout or give them the option to pay when they pick the food up at your restaurant. Combine this with the available custom fields feature, which lets you add new inputs to the order form, and you can set up the checkout process however you like. For example, you could have an option for delivery and then require immediate payment either via Stripe or PayPal. Stripe Payment Intents The Stripe payment gateway now makes use of their payment intents system. With this you can enable many different types of payment methods, all directly from within your Stripe account. These include credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, direct debit, Afterpay and many other country- and region-specific methods. There is now also an option to take payments as holds and then charge/capture the payment at a later time. You could use this, for example, to only capture the payment once someone has arrived at the restaurant to pick up their food. Further customization features for the restaurant ordering system include: Add-ons for menu items, which can be selected when adding to cart (e.g. extra toppings). Restrict when ordering should be available by setting up a schedule. Set a minimum order total (e.g. in dollars, euros, etc., depending on your chosen currency). Option to temporarily pause ordering (e.g. you are at capacity in your restaurant or for orders). Alternatively, set a maximum number of orders that you can take. Fields for the customer to leave notes for both individual items and the overall order. Add custom fields to the order form (e.g. if you require extra info from your customers, want to offer delivery, etc.). Styling and labelling options to further customize the order form. Once an order is placed, you will receive a customizable notification that contains all of the order information. This is also created as an order in the plugin admin panel, where you can view all the details and also change the status and edit the order. Your customers can then view the order status right on your menu page via an intuitive order progress bar. There are further options to customize the ordering experience by setting specific hours when the ordering should be available as well as advanced features that let you add customization options to each menu item (e.g. “Add bacon”, “Upgrade to onion rings”, etc.). There is also an array of styling options to modify the colors of the ordering elements, including the buttons, the cart and the progress bar.

Food Menu is a WordPress restaurant menu plugin that lets you build a beautiful food menu and take online food orders through WooCommerce. It works as a standalone menu display with no WooCommerce required, then upgrades to full online ordering whenever you are ready. Restaurants, cafés, cloud kitchens, fast-food outlets, and catering services use it to showcase dishes and sell online from one place. The big 6.0.0 update makes the plugin far more generous: table reservation, tips and gratuity, special-menu popups, and product discounts are now free, alongside a faster React-based settings panel. If you want a simple, good-looking menu, Food Menu does that on its own. If you want a complete restaurant ordering system, switch the data source to WooCommerce and you are ready to accept orders. 👉 Demo | Documentation | Get Pro Version 👈 This restaurant menu WordPress plugin gives restaurant owners everything to manage online food ordering, food delivery and pickup, and table reservations, then present it all in layouts that drive orders. 👉 Click here to get Red Chili – WordPress Theme using FoodMenu Pro plugin 👉 Click here to get Panpie – WordPress Theme using FoodMenu Pro plugin 🆕 What’s New in 6.0.0 Version 6.0.0 is the largest release yet, and several premium features are now included free.

It supports two distinct modes. Use the Food Menu post type for a clean, visual menu with images, descriptions, and pricing.

You are never forced into ecommerce to display a menu, and you are never blocked from growing into one. And with 6.0.0, the free version now covers reservations, tipping, special-menu popups, and discounts, so you can launch a capable restaurant site at no cost. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent plugin backed by responsive and dedicated support!
