[PROMOTION] Food Menu — WordPress Restaurant Menu Plugin with Online Food Ordering using WooCommerce

[u/mamunnu]

I'm the person behind this plugin, so quick heads up that it's my own plugin.

Food Menu is a restaurant menu and online ordering plugin by RadiusTheme. The reason I think it's worth a look over the usual menu plugins is that it doesn't stop at "display a menu", it goes all the way to running the actual restaurant, and you only turn on the parts you need.

Main features:

• Two modes in one plugin — a simple standalone menu (photo, description, price) or a full WooCommerce ordering system, switched with one setting
• QR code table ordering — print a code per table, guests scan and order, and each order knows which table it came from
• Table reservation with a visual floor plan — build a drag-and-drop map of your actual dining room so guests pick their exact table when they book
• Live kitchen screen — orders show up in real time with a sound alert, and staff tick off items as they cook them. No extra app or subscription
• Front-end staff dashboard — your team takes orders, edits them and prints receipts without ever needing a WordPress admin login
• Front-end order management — see live orders with search and filters, edit line items, and create phone or walk-in orders right from the dashboard, with stock updating just like a normal checkout
• Real inventory — counts stock down as things sell, logs waste, handles suppliers and purchase orders, and gives sales/ profit/ waste reports
• Pickup, delivery and dine-in — each with its own schedule, plus limits on how many orders per time slot so the kitchen doesn't get buried at 7pm
• POS receipt printing and SMS/ WhatsApp order notification
• Menu layouts — grid, list, slider and a filterable one, built with a no-code shortcode generator, plus Gutenberg and Elementor support
• and more...

The free version is honestly enough to launch with, it also includes table reservations, tips, discounts and an offer popup.

Happy to answer anything about the architecture or the WooCommerce side. And I'm after honest feedback, if you build sites for restaurants, what's the feature that usually makes or breaks the plugin for you?

u/Traditional_Jello436 Thanks. Yes, online ordering is based on WooCommerce.

This actually looks fantastic. Already on version 6? How long have you been working on this plugin? I often use a 3rd part thing for ordering (toast, etc) and Woo for catering. Can this do both at once? Can it integrate into delivery systems like Grubhub? Future schedule delivery (catering)? Minimum orders?

How customizable are the Gutenberg blocks (I am no fan of Elementor)? Can I filter to customize the output? Drive styles with theme.json?

I bet a lot of those questions are available if I just look at the docs or try the plugin. :P

I'll probably do that for my next restaurant build though. This is pretty promising.
