GrazieChef – Table Reservations & QR Menu

Description

GrazieChef is an order and table management app for pubs, restaurants and bars: orders from the phone, kitchen display, reservations and a QR digital menu. This plugin puts the guest-facing parts on your own website:

  • Table reservations: the GrazieChef booking form embedded in any page. Requests land directly in your GrazieChef reservations list, no copy-paste from emails.
  • Digital menu: a button that opens your always up-to-date menu (the same one your QR codes point to). Change a price or mark a dish sold out in GrazieChef and the website follows.
  • Shortcodes and a block: [graziechef_booking], [graziechef_menu], or the “GrazieChef” block in the editor.
  • Six languages: English, Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese and German; by default the plugin follows your site’s language.

The plugin is free. You need a GrazieChef account (a free plan is available) to receive the reservations.

External service

This plugin embeds content from graziechef.com, the GrazieChef service run by the plugin’s authors. When a page with the booking form is displayed, the visitor’s browser loads https://graziechef.com/book/<your venue ID>/embed; the data a guest types in the form (name, phone or email, date, party size, notes) is sent to GrazieChef to create the reservation. The menu button is a plain link to https://graziechef.com/m/<your venue ID>. Nothing is sent to graziechef.com from the WordPress admin, and the plugin stores only your venue ID and language in the WordPress options.

Installation

  1. Install and activate the plugin.

  3. Add [graziechef_booking] to your reservations page and [graziechef_menu] wherever you want the menu button, or use the “GrazieChef” block.

FAQ

Do I need a GrazieChef account?

Yes: reservations are stored in your GrazieChef venue and the menu is the one you manage there. There is a free plan.

Can I show two different venues on the same site?

Yes. Add venue="…" to each shortcode (or set the venue ID in the block settings); it overrides the one saved in Settings.

How do I change the language or the height of the form?

[graziechef_booking locale=”it” height=”900″]. Supported languages: en, it, es, fr, pt, de. Height is in pixels, between 400 and 2000.

Why is the menu a button and not embedded in the page?

The menu is designed as a full-screen mobile page, the same guests open from the QR code on the table: in a new tab it stays readable on every phone and always shows the current dishes and prices.

Does it slow down my site?

No scripts are added to your front end. The booking form is a lazy-loaded iframe, loaded only when the visitor scrolls to it.
