## Description

Instinctor Restaurant Menu does one job: it shows your menu properly. It is light,
works with any theme, and looks designed from the first menu you add.

**Build the menu**

 * Several menus per site: Lunch, Dinner, Drinks, Brunch.
 * Sections with an optional note, such as “Served until 3 pm”.
 * Each dish or drink with a description, an optional photo and up to six prices:
   sizes, glass or bottle, half or full portion.
 * Dietary and allergen tags: vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, spicy,
   contains nuts, halal, kosher. A legend is added under the menu automatically.
 * Badges: New, Popular, Chef’s choice.
 * A sold-out switch, so a dish can be marked unavailable without deleting it.
 * Import and export as CSV, so an existing menu can be brought in from a spreadsheet.

**Show the menu**

 * A Restaurant Menu block for the WordPress editor, and a shortcode for any theme
   or page builder.
 * Four layouts: Classic, Two columns, Cards with photos, and Compact board.
 * A choice of line between dish and price: dots, line, dashes, fade or none.
 * An accent colour. Fonts follow your theme.
 * Section tabs that stay at the top of the screen on long menus, which matters 
   on phones.

**Beyond the page**

 * **Menu markup for search engines.** Every menu carries schema.org Menu data (
   sections, dishes, prices, dietary suitability), so search engines can read it
   as a menu.
 * **Table QR code.** Generated in your browser for the page that shows the menu.
   Download it as a PNG for table cards. No outside service is used.
 * **Print-ready.** One click opens a clean paper version of the menu.

**Built light**

No jQuery, no outside requests, no tracking. Menus are stored as standard WordPress
content and stay in place if the plugin is deactivated.

**Need ordering, bookings or deposits?** This plugin shows the menu. [Instinctor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/instinctor/),
from the same team, adds a store, bookings with deposits, live chat and SEO to WordPress.

the format.
