Food and Drink Menu

Create a stylish, responsive restaurant menu and add it to your site in minutes. With the easy-to-use menu builder and the included layout and customization options, you’ll have your menu set up in no time.

This restaurant plugin also lets you enable a food ordering system directly on your site from your menu page and manage orders from our associated Five Star Restaurant Manager mobile app. This is available in the ultimate version, which you can read about in the Food Ordering Straight from Your Menu section below.

The plugin includes a Gutenberg restaurant menu block as well as a restaurant menu shortcode, so you can display your menu on any page, no matter which page editing system you are using. We also include several patterns, so you can integrate your menus directly into your block-based theme.

Key Features

• Unlimited restaurant menus and menu items.
• Responsive restaurant menu layout that looks great on mobile and all devices.
• Add your menu to any page via the included Gutenberg block or shortcode.
• Add unique photos and prices to each food or drink menu item .
• Optional sidebar to display your restaurant menu sections, for quick navigation.
• Full Menu schema structured data automatically integrated, so Google can correctly identify your page as a menu and use it accordingly in search results.
• Create a QR code that you can use in-restaurant to let your guests see your online menu.

Five Star Restaurant Menu is very user friendly and comes with a walk-through that runs automatically when you activate the plugin and will help you create your menu items, add the menu to your site and set key options!

Restaurant Menu QR Code

Restaurants no longer need to have a printed menu as the plugin comes with the ability for you to generate a QR code that leads directly to your online menu. You can place these, for example, at the tables in your restaurant, so guests can scan them and gain easy and quick access to the restaurant menu page on your website.

There are several great benefits to utilizing your online menu in your restaurant, including:

• Restaurant updates: You can instantaneously make changes to your menu. No matter how small or big the change you need to make is, you won’t need to reprint anything or explain it to every customer.
• Save money and trees by avoiding the need to print your menus.
• Creates a more contactless experience, no longer having menus shared between all customers.

Restaurant Menu Sections

This restaurant plugin comes with the ability to create separate menu sections. This allows you to divide a menu into multiple parts, making it more clear for your customers. You can even include a note for a section (e.g. “All items in this section come with salad or fries.”). Some examples of menu sections you can create are:

• Appetizers
• Main Course
• Dessert Menu
• Kid’s Menu
• Gluten Free Menu
• Weekly Specials

You can then add a sidebar to your restaurant menu page, which lists all your sections, so your guests can quickly find what they’re looking for.

In addition to this, you can also create completely separate and customizable restaurant menus. This feature can be used for several different purposes including individual menus for different meals, but also separate menus for drinks or snacks. It even works great if your restaurant is split up into different areas (e.g. a dining hall, a cafe, a bistro, etc.). Some examples of individual restaurant menus you can create are:

• Breakfast Menu
• Brunch Menu
• Lunch Menu
• Dinner Menu
• Wine Menu
• Drink Menu
• Snack Menu
• Cafe Menu
• Specialty Menu
• The possibilities are endless!

Food Ordering Straight from Your Menu (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 menu items.
• Intuitive cart that fits into any theme and lets customers easily add items and check out.
• Require payment immediately or give your customer the option to pay in store.
• Both Stripe and PayPal available as payment gateways.
• 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 an order.
• Easy-to-use admin interface lets you quickly manage your restaurant 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.
• Syncs directly with the Five Star Restaurant Manager mobile app (iOS and Android), so you can receive push notifications for new orders and manage your orders in the kitchen or on the go.

Setting it up couldn’t be easier. When you enable the ordering feature, an “Add to Cart” button will appear on each menu item, which will let you add as many items as you want to the cart. 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.

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.

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).
• 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.
• Restaurants can 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 to your site.

Once an order is placed, restaurant owners receive a customizable order notification that contains all of the order information by default. 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 details. 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 restaurant menu 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.
