Great Restaurant Menu WP Plugin

The fastest and easiest way to create a professional-looking menu or price list for your restaurant or business.

What this plugin can do for you

Allows to create a menu quickly for your restaurant or other business type (such as salons, gyms, etc).
It comes with 5 templates out of the box and supports custom templating.
Default templates are all responsive and look great on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
Menu supports groups/categories, sub groups/categories, and items.
Items can include item name, description, image, and price.
Menu editor allows you to easily drag and drop groups and items to re-organize easily and quickly.
Fully supports network/multisite websites.

Adding menu to the WordPress page

Upon plugin activation, a new page is created called Menu. The menu is automatically inserted on this page. If you’d like to display the menu on a different page, proceed to step 2.
Create a page or go into the editing mode in an already-created page.
Under Page Attributes, select “Best Restaurant Menu” as template of the page.
If you want more control over it, you can instead insert the shortcode [brm_restaurant_menu].

Short code attibutes

groups – With this attribute you can specify the group IDs you would like to display in the frontend by this shortcode (comma-separated). ex: [brm_restaurant_menu groups="1,4,6"]. That will display only three groups with IDs 1, 4 and 6.
show_items – Whether to display the group items or not. 0 : Not to show items. Displays only the groups without related items. 1 : Show items. ex: [brm_restaurant_menu show_items="1"]
view – With this attribute, you can select the style view of the menu. Available style attributes: minimalist, two-column-minimalist, fancy, colorful, and bold. ex: [brm_restaurant_menu view="colorful"]
