## Description

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.

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.

 * **Now free: Table Reservation** — booking form, capacity handling, and an admin
   reservation list so guests can reserve tables from your site.
 * **Now free: Tips & Gratuity** — fixed or percentage tips on the cart and checkout.
 * **Now free: Special Menu Popup** — a scheduled, time-based popup for offers and
   specials, with custom title, call-to-action button, and multiple styles.

### 🌟 Why Choose Food Menu for Your Restaurant Website?

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.

## FAQ

### Do I need WooCommerce to use Food Menu?

No. Food Menu works as a standalone menu display using its built-in Food Menu post
type, creating menus with names, images, descriptions, and prices. WooCommerce is
optional and only needed when you want to accept online orders.

### How do I add a restaurant menu to my WordPress website?

Add your items under Food Menu, then use the Shortcode Generator to create a display
shortcode. Choose your layout (grid, list, slider, or isotope), select categories,
customize styling, and paste the shortcode into any page or post.

### Can I take online food orders without a third-party service?

Yes. Switch your data source to WooCommerce in the Shortcode Generator. This enables
Add to Cart on menu items and uses WooCommerce checkout, so orders run through your
own site with your chosen payment gateways.

### Is table reservation free in Food Menu?

Yes. As of version 6.0.0, the table reservation system is free, including a booking
form, capacity handling, and an admin reservation list. The Pro version adds Visual
Table Reservation with an interactive floor plan.

### Can customers order by scanning a QR code at the table?

Yes, with Food Menu Pro. QR Code Table Ordering lets dine-in guests scan a code 
to browse and order, with each order tied to its table, plus a minimal checkout 
built for dine-in.

### Does the plugin support delivery and pickup options?

Yes. The Pro version includes dedicated delivery and pickup management. Set order
types per location, configure weekly schedules, and define holidays. Customers select
their preferred option during checkout.

### Is Food Menu compatible with page builders?

Yes. Food Menu works with Gutenberg, Elementor, and WPBakery through shortcodes,
and it provides a dedicated Gutenberg block for simpler embedding in the block editor.

### Can I translate the menu into multiple languages?

Yes. Food Menu is translation ready with POT files included. Use Loco Translate 
for basic translations or WPML for full multilingual sites.

### What layout options are available?

The free version includes Grid, List, Slider, and Isotope Filter layouts. Food Menu
Pro adds 20+ more layouts with category-based designs and specialized WooCommerce
display styles.
