Food Menu – Restaurant Menu & Online Ordering for WooCommerce vs Wiki Menus

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.

Running a food business online takes more than a list of dishes. You need a menu customers enjoy browsing and an ordering flow that does not get in their way, without paying for features before you have even launched. Food Menu is built around that idea. It supports two distinct modes. Use the Food Menu post type for a clean, visual menu with images, descriptions, and pricing. Or activate WooCommerce to turn the same menu into a full ordering system with cart, checkout, and payments. 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!
