About this tool.
Digital Menu for Restaurants turns any page into a clean, filterable food menu. It stores its data in its own database tables and does not depend on WooCommerce, ACF or any page builder.
Features
- Categories with one level of sub-categories, reordered with up/down buttons.
- Products with description, up to two prices, featured flag, allergens and diet tags.
- Guided setup: a “Getting started” panel and an optional one-click sample menu to explore prices, filters and themes before building your own.
- The 14 EU allergens (Regulation 1169/2011) are pre-loaded and fixed; only the emoji can be changed.
- Diet tags: your own dietary filters, full add/edit/delete, shown as a second filter row. Each tag can either hide dishes that have it (pork, alcohol, spicy…) or show only the dishes that have it (vegan, vegetarian…) — you choose per tag.
- Front-end search plus allergen and diet filters, all client-side (no extra requests). The search box, filters and per-dish markers can each be turned on or off. The filter lists only the allergens the menu actually contains, with an optional note so a missing allergen reads as genuinely absent, not forgotten.
- Optional, automatic “menu updated” date at the bottom of the menu.
- No hedging: an allergen is declared on a dish or it is not. The plugin has no “may contain traces” and no cross-contamination disclaimer.
- Optional prices — up to two per product, each with its own label (e.g. “Full portion” / “Half portion”) — with a configurable currency symbol and position.
- A “Recommended” section built from the products you mark as featuredt.
- Four built-in themes (Bistro, Fine dining, Modern, Minimal) — fixed designs chosen from a dropdown — plus a Custom mode with full control over colours, fonts, text size, layout, card border/shadow/corners and an optional header image. Four fonts are bundled locally — no external requests.
- Optional footnote at the bottom of the menu (e.g. “Prices per person”).
- CSV import and export of products, with a downloadable template, a preview step before anything is written, and loose matching of allergen names (typos are corrected and shown in the preview).
