<p>The TruePine Restaurant Booking plugin for WordPress empowers restaurant owners to streamline their reservation process.  Configure your restaurant’s booking policy, including seating capacity and availability.  Guests can easily make online reservations through a user-friendly public form.  The plugin intelligently assigns bookings to your database, providing administrators with comprehensive management options.  You can easily view, confirm, or modify reservations directly from the backend.  A key feature is the flexible time management: choose between a fixed two-turn booking system or allow customers to select their preferred reservation time dynamically.  Both customers and administrators receive email notifications for new bookings.  Additionally, administrators have the option to receive booking requests directly via WhatsApp for instant alerts.  The attached screenshot showcases the multi-week view of the backend, offering a clear overview of upcoming reservations.</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin utilizes external third-party services to provide certain functionalities. These services are detailed below:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>CallMeBot (for WhatsApp Notifications)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>What it is and what it is used for:</strong> CallMeBot is an external third-party service that provides the functionality for sending WhatsApp messages. When enabled by the administrator, it allows the restaurant owner or manager to receive booking requests and confirmations directly on their WhatsApp number for instant alerts.</li>
<li><strong>What data is sent and when:</strong> When enabled, your WordPress site sends the WhatsApp message content (booking details, customer name, date, time) to CallMeBot’s API for delivery. This data is sent only when an administrator opts to receive WhatsApp notifications for a new booking or update and only for administrator notifications.</li>
<li><strong>Terms of Service and Privacy Policy:</strong> Please review CallMeBot’s own Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for how they handle data:

</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Google reCAPTCHA</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>What it is and what it is used for:</strong> Google reCAPTCHA is a free service from Google that helps protect your website from spam and abuse. It is used on the public booking form to verify that the user making a reservation is human and not a bot.</li>
<li><strong>What data is sent and when:</strong> When the public booking form (where reCAPTCHA is active) is loaded and submitted, reCAPTCHA collects hardware and software information, such as device and application data, and sends it to Google for analysis. This occurs when a user interacts with the reCAPTCHA challenge or when the reCAPTCHA script loads on the booking form page. The collected information helps Google distinguish between humans and bots.</li>

<h3>Restaurant Menu QR Code</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>There are several great benefits to utilizing your online menu in your restaurant, including:</p>

This feature can be used for several different purposes including individual menus for different meals, but also separate menus for drinks or snacks.

<ul>
<li>Breakfast</li>
<li>Brunch</li>
<li>Lunch</li>
<li>Dinner</li>

<li>The possibilities are endless!</li>
</ul>

<h3>Food Ordering (Requires Ultimate Version)</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Key features of the food ordering platform include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Add-to-cart buttons for all restaurant menu items.</li>
<li>Intuitive cart that fits into any theme and lets customers easily add items directly from the your restaurant menu and check out. </li>
<li>Options to have the responsive cart display at the bottom of the screen or on the side.</li>
<li>Require payment immediately or give your customer the option to pay at the restaurant.</li>
<li>Use Stripe payment intents (see below for details) or PayPal as your payment gateway.</li>
<li>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 a food order.</li>
<li>Easy-to-use admin interface lets you quickly manage your orders.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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 restaurant kitchen or on the go.</li>
</ul>
<p>Setting it up couldn’t be easier. When you enable the ordering feature, an “Add to Cart” button will appear on each restaurant 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.</p>
<p>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 at your restaurant.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Stripe Payment Intents</strong></p>
<p>The Stripe payment gateway now makes use of their <strong>payment intents</strong> system. With this you can enable many different types of payment methods, all directly from within your Stripe account. These include <strong>credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, direct debit, Afterpay and many other country- and region-specific methods</strong>.</p>
<p>There is now also an option to <strong>take payments as holds and then charge/capture the payment at a later time</strong>. You could use this, for example, to only capture the payment once someone has arrived at the restaurant to pick up their food.</p>
<p>Further customization features for the restaurant ordering system include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Add-ons for menu items, which can be selected when adding to cart (e.g. extra toppings).</li>
<li>Restrict when ordering should be available by setting up a schedule. </li>
<li>Set a minimum order total (e.g. in dollars, euros, etc., depending on your chosen currency).</li>
<li>Option to temporarily pause ordering (e.g. you are at capacity in your restaurant or for orders).</li>
<li>Alternatively, set a maximum number of orders that you can take.</li>
<li>Fields for the customer to leave notes for both individual items and the overall order.</li>
<li>Add custom fields to the order form (e.g. if you require extra info from your customers, want to offer delivery, etc.).</li>
<li>Styling and labelling options to further customize the order form.</li>
</ul>
<p>Once an order is placed, you will receive a customizable notification that contains all of the order information. 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. Your customers can then view the order status right on your menu page via an intuitive order progress bar.</p>
<p>There are further options to customize the 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.</p>
<h3>Five Star Restaurant Manager Mobile App</h3>
<p>The ultimate version also syncs directly with our Five Star Restaurant Manager mobile app, for iOS and Android, which lets you manage your orders from your phone or tablet without needing to log in to your site/WordPress. With this, you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Receive push notifications when new orders are submitted.</li>
<li>View all orders directly in the app.</li>
<li>Change the status of individual orders (e.g. to preparing or ready).</li>
