Simple Restaurant Menu Display

• Create and categorize menu items using a custom post type and taxonomy
• Define multiple quantity/price pairs for items (like size/portion/volume)
• Mark items as “Special” with a custom field badge
• Override styles using your theme
• Insert menus easily via a Gutenberg block or shortcode
