Restaurant Manager turns any WordPress site into a fully working online food ordering platform — no WooCommerce, no page builder, no third-party ordering service. It’s built specifically for restaurants that want delivery and pickup ordering without the overhead of a general-purpose ecommerce plugin.
Everything a restaurant needs to take orders online is included out of the box: a menu with categories and priced variations (sizes, crusts, spice levels), a shopping cart, a guided checkout, live order tracking for customers, and a complete order-management dashboard for staff.
Why Restaurant Manager?
- Purpose-built for restaurants — the entire plugin is scoped to online food ordering. No table reservations, no floor plans, no dine-in or QR-code ordering to wade through.
- No WooCommerce required — a self-contained REST API and custom database tables mean no dependency on WooCommerce, Elementor, or Divi.
- Fast, modern interfaces — the admin dashboard and customer storefront are both built in React for a fast, app-like experience instead of clunky page reloads.
- Accurate pricing, every time — a server-side pricing engine recalculates every order directly from the database (item price, variations, discounts, delivery fee, tax), so prices sent from a browser are never trusted blindly.
- Extensible payments — ships with Cash on Delivery and Cash at Pickup; add Razorpay, Stripe, or any other gateway by implementing a simple payment gateway interface.

Whether you run a single restaurant or a small chain, Restaurant Manager gives you a dedicated food ordering plugin without paying for or configuring a full ecommerce platform.
