Manage your restaurant menu through a native WordPress administration workspace:
Overview, Menu Items, Categories / Sections, Specials, Menu Order, Analytics,
Import / Export / Demo, and Settings.
Settings are organized into General, Appearance, Display, Food information,
Print / PDF, QR codes, Analytics, and Advanced. Saving one tab preserves the
other tabs. Version 3.4.2 migrates legacy pre-review identifiers to the new wwbrmp_ prefix while preserving menu posts, section relationships, settings, metadata, shortcode usage in WordPress content, and analytics history.
Shortcodes:
* [wwbrmp_restaurant_menu]
* [wwbrmp_today_special]
* [wwbrmp_featured_dishes limit=”6″]
* [wwbrmp_menu_section category=”Drinks”]
The PDF view is a printable HTML page for the browser’s Print / Save as PDF
feature. It does not generate a binary PDF on the server.
Upgrade notes
The 3.3.0 release introduced an additive admin refactor, not a destructive migration.
No uninstall data removal is performed. Deactivation clears scheduled reports and retention cleanup.
The analytics schema is checked once per database version, including upgrades
that do not run the activation hook.
Previous admin URLs for food information, PDF settings, QR codes and shortcodes
remain available. Food/PDF/QR settings now appear inside Settings.
Role behavior follows existing WordPress post capabilities: users with
edit_posts can manage the items they are allowed to edit; categories and global
order require manage_categories; settings, analytics and data tools require
manage_options. Sort requests also check edit_post for each submitted item.
Order changes do not move items between categories. Edit section membership in
the native item editor. Items belonging to multiple sections use one shared
menu_order value; conflicting submitted positions are rejected.
Import and export
JSON format version 1 is supported, up to 5 MB and 1,000 menu items or sections.
Exports include item metadata, status, section hierarchy, media URLs and settings.
This is not a full site or database backup. Analytics history and image binaries
are not exported. Analytics CSV contains at most 5,000 events for the period.
Imports are validated before the preview is saved for 15 minutes. Applying an
import creates drafts and reuses sections by slug without changing existing
sections. Repeated imports from the same source skip previously imported items.
Images are linked only if their URL matches media already present locally;
no remote media is downloaded. Settings are optional; analytics configuration,
recipients and external-service consent are never enabled by an import.
Demo creates three drafts in a Demo Menu section and does not duplicate them
when run again. Review food information and pricing before publishing samples.
External services
QR Server / goQR.me is an optional external QR image generator operated by
Foundata GmbH. Endpoint: https://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/
It is disabled until an administrator explicitly enables it in Settings >
QR codes, including after an upgrade. When enabled, QR previews/downloads and
optionally PDF covers request images from QR Server. Requests include the encoded
menu destination/tracking URL, image size, foreground/background colors and
output format. The requesting browser also contacts the service directly, so
the service receives normal connection information such as the browser IP.

No external analytics service is used. Report emails are sent through WordPress
wp_mail to administrator-configured recipients and may use your site’s mail
provider. Delivery depends on that provider and WP-Cron traffic. Scheduled times
use the WordPress site timezone.
Privacy and retention
Analytics is optional and off by default. Existing installations must explicitly
activate it again under Settings > Analytics after upgrading to 3.4.0. Existing
history is preserved. Enabling analytics shows visitors a choice on menu pages;
events are accepted only after visitor consent. A first-party preference cookie,
wwbrmp_consent, remembers yes/no for 180 days. The menu remains fully usable
without analytics. The menu privacy control lets visitors withdraw consent.
New analytics events contain menu item/category, interaction type, source,
timestamp and viewing duration. Visitor hashes, persistent session identifiers,
page URLs, referrers and user agents are no longer stored in event records.
A keyed, one-minute IP-derived counter limits event requests; raw IPs are never
written to that counter. New versions do not create the old localStorage visitor
ID; making a privacy choice removes any old wwbrmp_sid identifier.
Historical records may still contain fields collected by older versions.
Settings > Analytics provides confirmed administrator actions to remove legacy
visitor information while preserving metrics, or delete history in batches of
5,000 events. A configurable retention period of 30, 90 or 365 days can remove
older events daily, in batches of up to 5,000. The default keeps existing history
until the administrator chooses otherwise. Cleanup depends on WP-Cron traffic.
The plugin does not associate analytics records with emails or WordPress users,
so it cannot reliably locate a visitor’s historical events using WordPress’s
email-based personal data tools. The administrator can instead remove legacy
visitor fields or event history using the documented privacy actions. Suggested
privacy policy text is added to WordPress’s Privacy Policy Guide. This does not
replace the site owner’s assessment of its privacy obligations.
The unused legacy analytics_include_csv setting remains for compatibility;
scheduled email attachments were not implemented in the original version.
