More orders, less stress — Libre Bite turns WooCommerce into your restaurant’s operational backbone. No commission fees, no SaaS lock-in: your guests order online or at the table via QR code, pay with card, cash, or Twint, and your kitchen sees every order live on the board — all inside WordPress.
Start for free. Upgrade only when you need more.
<h4>Free to Start</h4>
All core features are available completely free of charge — no credit card, no trial period, no hidden limits.
A Pro subscription is only required for advanced features such as multi-location management, table ordering, optimised checkout, tipping, and pickup reminders. Pro plans are priced to be affordable — significantly cheaper than dedicated restaurant SaaS platforms.
7-day free Pro trial — no payment required.
<h4>Built on WordPress & WooCommerce</h4>
Libre Bite is a WordPress plugin. It extends WooCommerce — the proven e-commerce foundation used by millions of sites worldwide.
<ul>
<li>No new platform to learn — manage everything inside your existing WordPress dashboard.</li>
<li>Your products stay WooCommerce products — set them up once and they appear in the POS, checkout, and online shop automatically.</li>
<li>Use any WooCommerce-compatible payment gateway — cash, card, Twint, Stripe, PayPal, or any other gateway you already have. Libre Bite charges no transaction fees.</li>
<li>Offline payments supported — “Pay at pickup”, “Pay at table”, or any custom payment method via standard WooCommerce.</li>
</ul>
<h4>For Whom Is Libre Bite?</h4>
Libre Bite is built for small and micro gastronomy businesses — operations that want serious software without enterprise-level costs or delivery platform commissions.
<ul>
<li>Restaurants — Take dine-in and take-away orders, keep the kitchen informed, delight guests with smooth service.</li>
<li>Take-Away & Fast Food — Serve walk-ins fast with an integrated counter POS, accept card and Twint payments, no third-party fees.</li>

<li>Multi-location businesses — Run all branches from one WordPress installation, each with its own order board and POS (Pro).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Modular by Design</h4>
Only activate the features your business actually needs. Unused modules stay hidden — no cluttered menus, no unnecessary complexity.
<h4>Core Features (Free)</h4>
Live Kanban Order Board (KDS) 
A real-time kitchen display that visualizes every incoming WooCommerce order as a card. Drag & drop cards between columns (New → Preparing → Ready → Completed) to update order statuses instantly — without reloading the page.
Integrated Point of Sale (POS) 
A clear POS interface for walk-in customers. Add products to the order, accept payments — all without leaving WordPress.
Location Management 
Create and manage branches, each with its own address, opening hours, and order routing. Works immediately for single-location businesses.
Swiss 5-Cent Rounding 
Built-in support for the Swiss rounding rule (5-cent rounding). Indispensable for restaurants and retail in Switzerland.
Pickup/Delivery Time Slots 
Customers choose a time slot for pickup or delivery directly during checkout. Relieve peak hours and better manage kitchen capacity.
Product Add-ons & Extras 
Add configurable options to any WooCommerce product — sizes, sauces, toppings, preparation notes — with optional price markups.
Modular Feature Control 
Only enable what your business really needs. Each module can be independently toggled on or off in the admin area.
WooCommerce HPOS Compatible 
Fully tested with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS). Safe for modern, high-traffic setups.
<h4>Pro Features (Subscription required)</h4>
Table Ordering (QR Code) 
Generate a QR code for each table. Guests scan it and order directly — no address or pickup time fields required. Orders appear in the dashboard with the table name.
Multi-Location Management 
Manage an unlimited number of branches. Each location gets its own Kanban board, POS configuration, and separate order flow — managed centrally via one WordPress installation.
Optimized Checkout Flow 
A conversion-focused checkout process for gastronomy businesses — fewer steps, cleaner layout, mobile-first.
Advanced Tipping System 
Customers can select percentage tip suggestions (e.g., 5%, 10%, 15%) or enter a custom amount. Tip amounts are saved per order and displayed in the dashboard.
Automatic Pickup Reminders 
Automatic email reminders to customers X minutes before the scheduled pickup time. Fewer no-shows, better pickup experience.
Nutritional Info & Allergen Labeling 
EU-compliant nutritional values and allergen declarations for every product. Displayed clearly on the product page and during checkout.
Advanced Sound Notifications 
A browser signal tone when a new order arrives on the Kanban board. Configurable individually per location.
<h4>Why Libre Bite?</h4>
Delivery platforms take up to 30% commission. Dedicated restaurant SaaS tools charge monthly fees on top of that. Libre Bite is different: own your ordering system, pay no commissions, and keep every franc.
<ul>
<li>Commission-free ordering — guests order directly on your website, no platform cut</li>
<li>No transaction fees — ever</li>
<li>Twint, card, cash — accept any payment WooCommerce supports</li>
<li>Swiss 5-cent rounding built in — essential for CHF cash payments</li>
<li>QR code ordering at the table — guests scan, choose, and pay in seconds (Pro)</li>
<li>Modular — activate only what your business needs, nothing else</li>
<li>Your data stays yours — in your own WordPress installation</li>
<li>Affordable Pro plans — designed for small businesses, not enterprise budgets</li>
<li>7-day free Pro trial — no payment required</li>
</ul>
<h4>Works on Any Device</h4>
Libre Bite works on any device — no app installation required. Use it with a mouse and keyboard on a desktop or laptop, or with touch input on a tablet. The Kanban order board, POS interface, and reservation dashboard are optimised for touch-first operation, making them well-suited for use on a tablet mounted at the counter or kitchen pass.
<h4>How to Run Libre Bite</h4>
Option 1 — Extend your existing website 
Install Libre Bite directly into your existing WordPress/WooCommerce site. Any theme is compatible — no design changes required.
Option 2 — Standalone installation (subdomain) 
Run Libre Bite as a dedicated installation on a subdomain, such as <code>order.myrestaurant.com</code> — completely independent from your main website, purpose-built for your gastronomy operation.
Option 3 — Managed hosting by Libre Bite 
Libre Bite handles the complete setup: installation, configuration, hosting, and ongoing maintenance — from A to Z. Available as a paid service. Contact via GitHub.

Libre Bite

Stress-free orders, happy guests, full tables — the WooCommerce plugin built for restaurants, take-aways, and cafés.

Order Up!
A series of plugins for WordPress which allow for the ordering of pages, posts, and taxonomies through a simple 
drag-and-drop interface using the available WordPress scripts and styles. The plugins are extremely lightweight, 
without a bunch of unnecessary scripts to load into the admin. They also fall in line gracefully with the look 
and feel of the WordPress interface.

Custom Page Order
