Justin Tadlock

A plugin for setting up small restaurant sites. This plugin was created as a simple base for theme authors to build custom restaurant themes. It also serves as a foundation for other plugins to build from and add restaurant-related features. This plugin merely handles a restaurant “menu”. In particular, it creates a ‘restaurant_item’ post type and ‘restaurant_tag’ taxonomy. Other plugins should be created to extend the menu functionality.
<h3>Themes</h3>
Currently, the following themes integrate with the Restaurant plugin:
<ul>
<li><a href="http://devpress.com/themes/ravintola/" rel="nofollow ugc">Ravintola</a></li>
</ul>

<h3>Plugin Development</h3>
If you’re a theme author, plugin author, or just a code hobbyist, you can follow the development of this plugin on it’s <a href="https://github.com/justintadlock/restaurant" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub repository</a>.

I appreciate all donations, no matter the size. Further development of this plugin is not contingent on donations, but they are always a nice incentive.

<h3>Orderable’s (Free) Features in Detail</h3>
The core Orderable plugin is 100% free. With this, you can start taking online orders in a matter of minutes. Here are the features that make Orderable the smart choice for your restaurant business.
✔️ Online Ordering Menu
By using Orderable, you’ll be able to create your online food menu in minutes.
Once you’ve created your menu items/dishes, you can add them to an online menu that you customize. Display it as a grid or list layout, include images or not, and decide what you want to happen when a customer clicks on a dish.
✔️ Zero Transaction Fees
Orderable charges zero fees per transaction, and there are no hidden costs.
The only time you might need to pay extra is when upgrading to the Pro version of Orderable for extra features (scroll down to see what those are).
✔️ Delivery/Pickup Date Slots
Orderable allows you to select which days of the week you offer your pickup or delivery services and what delivery zones these apply to.
You’ll be able to add as many of these as you like and customize them for pickup, delivery, and different days of the week.
Let’s say you want to offer pickup only on the weekend. You can. Or you want to offer different delivery days for different delivery zones (with added delivery fees for the distance). You can do that, too.
✔️ ASAP Delivery
Allowing customers to select ASAP delivery at the checkout is as easy as turning on a setting in Orderable. This can then be customized further with the following setting.
✔️ Lead Time and Preorder Days
Set how long you need to prepare your order with lead time (minutes, hours, days). This is particularly helpful if you want to offer ASAP delivery but need a set period of time to prepare the order.
Preorder days allow you to control how many days in advance customers can order from your restaurant menu.
✔️ Holiday Scheduling
With Orderable, you’ll be able to set up specific holiday dates or special occasions where you won’t offer delivery and/or pickup services.
For example, if your store only accepts pickup orders on Christmas Eve, you can set up a holiday schedule to accept only this service without changing your entire schedule.
✔️ Live Order View
View, manage, and process orders in real-time with Orderable’s live order screen.
This screen makes a noise when new orders come in and can be filtered for delivery and pickup orders so restaurant managers and kitchen staff can keep track.
✔️ Receipt/Ticket Printing and Customization
Print receipts/tickets for each order via the Orders/Live Order View page and the single order screen. This button opens a print dialogue box, allowing you to customize print settings and select your desired printer.
Create and edit receipt layouts with the in-build WordPress block editor. Customize everything from spacing, to colors. With a selection of pre-built layouts (Kitchen, Delivery, Packing, and Order Confirmation), you can get set up in minutes.
✔️ Automated Pickup/Delivery Slot Reminder Emails
Send automated email reminders to customers who haven’t picked their slot yet.
This is particularly useful for customers who checkout using Google or Apple Pay. Or if they forgot to set a date slot at the checkout.
These reminders are optional and can be customized in terms of frequency and number, as well as their contents.
✔️ Floating Cart Widget
Instead of taking customers to the default WooCommerce checkout, a floating cart widget lets them see their order at a glance.
You can customize where product information and the description appear in this layout.
