Upgrade only when you need more.** #### Free to Start All core features are available completely free of charge — no credit card, no trial period, no hidden limits. A Pro subscription is only required for advanced features such as multi-location management, table ordering, optimised checkout, tipping, and pickup reminders. Pro plans are priced to be affordable — significantly cheaper than dedicated restaurant SaaS platforms. **7-day free Pro trial — no payment required.** #### Built on WordPress & WooCommerce Libre Bite is a WordPress plugin. It extends WooCommerce — the proven e-commerce foundation used by millions of sites worldwide. * **No new platform to learn** — manage everything inside your existing WordPress dashboard. * **Your products stay WooCommerce products** — set them up once and they appear in the POS, checkout, and online shop automatically. * **Use any WooCommerce-compatible payment gateway** — cash, card, Twint, Stripe, PayPal, or any other gateway you already have. Libre Bite charges **no transaction fees**. * **Offline payments supported** — “Pay at pickup”, “Pay at table”, or any custom payment method via standard WooCommerce. #### For Whom Is Libre Bite? Libre Bite is built for **small and micro gastronomy businesses** — operations that want serious software without enterprise-level costs or delivery platform commissions. * **Restaurants** — Take dine-in and take-away orders, keep the kitchen informed, delight guests with smooth service. * **Take-Away & Fast Food** — Serve walk-ins fast with an integrated counter POS, accept card and Twint payments, no third-party fees. * **Cafés & Bars** — Handle product extras, tips, and order flow without juggling multiple tools. * **Multi-location businesses** — Run all branches from one WordPress installation, each with its own order board and POS (Pro). #### Modular by Design Only activate the features your business actually needs. Unused modules stay hidden— no cluttered menus, no unnecessary complexity. #### Core Features (Free) **Live Kanban Order Board (KDS)** A real-time kitchen display that visualizes every incoming WooCommerce order as a card. Drag & drop cards between columns (New Preparing Ready Completed) to update order statuses instantly — without reloading the page. **Integrated Point of Sale (POS)** A clear POS interface for walk-in customers. Add products to the order, accept payments — all without leaving WordPress. **Location Management** Create and manage branches, each with its own address, opening hours, and order routing. Works immediately for single-location businesses. **Swiss 5-Cent Rounding** Built-in support for the Swiss rounding rule (5-cent rounding). Indispensable for restaurants and retail in Switzerland. **Pickup/Delivery Time Slots** Customers choose a time slot for pickup or delivery directly during checkout. Relieve peak hours and better manage kitchen capacity. **Product Add-ons & Extras** Add configurable options to any WooCommerce product— sizes, sauces, toppings, preparation notes — with optional price markups. **Modular Feature Control** Only enable what your business really needs. Each module can be independently toggled on or off in the admin area. **WooCommerce HPOS Compatible** Fully tested with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS). Safe for modern, high-traffic setups. #### Pro Features (Subscription required) **Table Ordering (QR Code)** Generate a QR code for each table. Guests scan it and order directly — no address or pickup time fields required. Orders appear in the dashboard with the table name. **Multi-Location Management** Manage an unlimited number of branches. Each location gets its own Kanban board, POS configuration, and separate order flow — managed centrally via one WordPress installation. **Optimized Checkout Flow** A conversion-focused checkout process for gastronomy businesses — fewer steps, cleaner layout, mobile-first. **Advanced Tipping System** Customers can select percentage tip suggestions (e. g., 5%, 10%, 15%) or enter a custom amount. Tip amounts are saved per order and displayed in the dashboard. **Automatic Pickup Reminders** Automatic email reminders to customers X minutes before the scheduled pickup time. Fewer no-shows, better pickup experience. **Nutritional Info & Allergen Labeling** EU-compliant nutritional values and allergen declarations for every product. Displayed clearly on the product page and during checkout. **Advanced Sound Notifications** A browser signal tone when a new order arrives on the Kanban board. Configurable individually per location. #### Why Libre Bite? Delivery platforms take up to 30% commission. Dedicated restaurant SaaS tools charge monthly fees on top of that. Libre Bite is different: own your ordering system, pay no commissions, and keep every franc. * **Commission-free ordering** — guests order directly on your website, no platform cut * **No transaction fees** — ever * **Twint, card, cash** — accept any payment WooCommerce supports * **Swiss 5-cent rounding built in** — essential for CHF cash payments * **QR code ordering at the table** — guests scan, choose, and pay in seconds ( Pro) * **Modular** — activate only what your business needs, nothing else * **Your data stays yours** — in your own WordPress installation * **Affordable Pro plans** — designed for small businesses, not enterprise budgets * **7-day free Pro trial** — no payment required #### Works on Any Device Libre Bite works on any device — no app installation required. Use it with a mouse and keyboard on a desktop or laptop, or with touch input on a tablet. The Kanban order board, POS interface, and reservation dashboard are optimised for touch-first operation, making them well-suited for use on a tablet mounted at the counter or kitchen pass. #### How to Run Libre Bite **Option 1 — Extend your existing website** Install Libre Bite directly into your existing WordPress/WooCommerce site. Any theme is compatible — no design changes required. **Option 2 — Standalone installation (subdomain)** Run Libre Bite as a dedicated installation on a subdomain, such as `order.myrestaurant.com` — completely independent from your main website, purpose-built for your gastronomy operation. **Option 3 — Managed hosting by Libre Bite** Libre Bite handles the complete setup: installation, configuration, hosting, and ongoing maintenance — from A to Z. Available as a paid service. Contact via GitHub. #### External Services This plugin uses **Freemius**, a third-party platform for managing licenses, subscriptions, and plugin updates for the Pro version. During plugin activation, you can opt-in to data sharing with Freemius. Basic information about your website (WordPress version, PHP version, active plugins) is transmitted to Freemius to enable license validation and usage analysis. **Opt-in is completely optional.** All free core features work without opt-in. * Freemius Privacy Policy: https://freemius.com/privacy/ * Freemius Terms of Service: https://freemius.com/terms/ No data is sent to Freemius if you skip or decline the opt-in during activation. The Table Management feature (Pro) uses the **goQR.me API** (https://goqr.me/api/) to generate QR codes for table ordering links. The QR code URL is transmitted to generate the corresponding image. No personal or order data is sent. * goQR.me API: https://goqr.me/api/ * goQR.me Privacy Policy: https://goqr.me/privacy-policy/ ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/libre-bite` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress. 3. Make sure **WooCommerce** is installed and active — Libre Bite requires WooCommerce. 4. Navigate to **Libre Bite** in the admin menu to configure locations, enable modules, and set up the POS and Kanban board. ## FAQ ### Is WooCommerce mandatory? Yes. Libre Bite is a WooCommerce extension. WooCommerce must be installed and active for Libre Bite to work. WooCommerce 8.0 or later is recommended. ### Which payment methods are supported? Libre Bite uses WooCommerce’s standard payment system. Any WooCommerce-compatible payment gateway works — including Stripe, PayPal, Twint, cash on pickup, card at counter, and more. Libre Bite charges **no transaction fees**. You pay only for your payment gateway (if any) and the optional Pro subscription. ### Can customers pay in cash or at the counter? Yes. WooCommerce includes offline payment methods such as “Cash on Delivery” or “ Pay in Person”. You can rename and configure these freely — for example “Pay at pickup” or “Pay at the counter”. ### Is the plugin compatible with WooCommerce HPOS? Yes. Libre Bite is fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage( HPOS). It has been tested with both legacy post-based storage and the new Custom Order Tables. ### Can I manage multiple restaurant locations? Multi-location management is included in the Pro version. The free version supports a single location with full configuration of address, opening hours, and order routing. ### What is Swiss 5-Cent Rounding? In Switzerland, cash payments are rounded to the nearest 5 cents as 1- and 2-cent coins are no longer in circulation. Libre Bite automatically applies this rounding rule at checkout — useful for Swiss restaurants, cafés, and take-away businesses. ### Does the POS system work offline? The integrated POS system requires an active WordPress/WooCommerce session and an internet connection. It is a browser-based interface that currently does not support offline mode. ### Does Libre Bite share my data with third parties? Libre Bite uses Freemius for license management and delivery of Pro features. Data is only transmitted to Freemius if you explicitly opt-in during activation. No order, customer, or product data is transmitted — only basic website environment information( PHP version, WP version, plugin list). For more details, see the Freemius Privacy Policy: https://freemius.com/privacy/ ### What are the minimum requirements? * WordPress 6.0 or higher * WooCommerce 8.0 or higher * PHP 7.4 or higher (PHP 8.1+ recommended) * A modern browser for Kanban board and POS interface ### Is Libre Bite available in multiple languages? The plugin uses standard WordPress i18n functions and can be translated via .pot files or community translations on translate.wordpress.org. The default language is English. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Libre Bite” is open source software.
