Advanced Restaurant for WooCommerce

1. Overview

Advanced Restaurant for WooCommerce turns your WooCommerce products into a one-page online ordering menu, the way food-delivery apps work. Put the shortcode [wxp_restaurant] on a page: every product category that has published dishes becomes a section, customers see whether you are open, choose delivery or pickup, search and filter, add dishes with one tap or through a popup for sizes, add-ons and a note, and check out from a basket drawer without leaving the page. At checkout they pick a day and a time slot built from your opening hours.

How it works

• Dishes are products. Name, photo, price, short description, stock, variations and categories come from WooCommerce. The plugin adds a Restaurant tab to the product editor (spice level, labels, allergens, calories) and the Is Non-Vegetarian tick box.
• Sections are categories. Each product category with published dishes is a section, in the order of Products → Categories; child categories follow their parent.
• The basket is WooCommerce's cart. Adding, changing and removing lines goes through WooCommerce, so stock limits, "Sold individually", coupons, taxes, shipping and payment methods work as they do today. Add-on prices and notes are stored on the cart line and copied to the order.
• Opening hours decide the rest. They drive the Open now / Closed status, the next-opening message, whether orders are accepted right now, and the time slots offered at checkout (after your preparation time).
• Orders carry the restaurant data. The order type (delivery or pickup), the day and the time are saved as order meta and shown on the thank-you page, in the e-mails, on the order screen and in a Restaurant column of the orders list.

At a glance

What it does not do

• It is not a point-of-sale, kitchen display, table-ordering or QR-ordering system, and it does not print tickets. Orders are normal WooCommerce orders.
• It does not deliver or calculate delivery fees by distance. Delivery fees are your WooCommerce shipping methods; the plugin only filters them by delivery or pickup and shows your free-delivery hint.
• It does not manage reservations or table bookings.
• It does not replace the cart and checkout pages; customers can still use them. The basket drawer is a shortcut to the same cart.
• Add-ons need the free PPOM for WooCommerce plugin; without it, dish options are the product's variations.
• One opening-hours set for the whole site; no hours per order type or per location.

How it relates to Restaurant for WooCommerce (free)

The free plugin on WordPress.org has the one-page menu, the dish popup for variations, the basket drawer and the Veg filter in the same design. This plugin adds everything about opening hours, delivery or pickup, time slots, add-ons, notes, dish labels, the minimum order, the settings screen and the orders-list column. When both are active only this plugin runs and a notice on the Plugins screen says the free plugin is not used; deactivate and delete it. The shortcode and the Is Non-Vegetarian flag are the same, and the CSS custom properties and template folder names differ (your-theme/advanced-restaurant-for-woocommerce/), so template copies made for the free plugin have to be redone.

2. Requirements

3. Installation

1. Make sure WooCommerce is active.
2. Open Plugins → Add Plugin → Upload Plugin, choose advanced-restaurant-for-woocommerce-2.0.0.zip, install and activate.
3. If the free Restaurant for WooCommerce plugin is installed, deactivate and delete it (a notice reminds you).
4. Open Plugins → WpExperts Hub Licences, paste your licence key and click Activate licence.
5. Add [wxp_restaurant] to a page and open WooCommerce → Restaurant.

The licence and updates

The licence is used for updates only: every feature works without it. Your key is in the purchase e-mail and in My Account → Downloads on wpexpertshub.com. After activation, new versions appear on Dashboard → Updates and in the plugin row like any other plugin. The plugin checks for updates at most once every 12 hours. Email me my key on the licence screen sends the key to the address you type. Deactivate the licence before moving the plugin to another live site.

Updating from version 1.x

• Update through Dashboard → Updates (with an active licence) or upload the 2.0.0 zip over the old folder. The plugin folder and licence slug stayed advanced-restaurant-for-woocommerce, so nothing has to be re-activated.
• Your opening hours, messages and checkout settings are kept. A site that already had settings saved stays delivery only until you choose "Delivery and pickup" under Ordering; new installs offer both.
• The twelve colour settings of 1.x are not carried over. The Design tab has nine colour tokens with sensible defaults; set your accent colour there.
• The menu markup changed completely (no jQuery, fancybox or icon font). Theme overrides of templates/menu.php and custom CSS written for 1.x must be redone; see Templates and CSS.
• Delivery times are stored as 24-hour values on new orders (18:30 or ASAP); orders placed with 1.x keep displaying.

Deactivating and deleting

Deactivating stops the menu, the checkout fields and the orders-list column; the shortcode is then printed as text until you remove it from the page. Deleting the plugin removes its files only: the settings option, the licence options, the product meta and the order meta stay in the database (so a reinstall finds everything). "Deactivate licence" on the licence screen removes the two licence options.

Multisite

Activate the plugin per site, or network-wide: WooCommerce is detected either way (the plugin boots on plugins_loaded). Settings, hours and licence are per site.

4. Quick start

1. Categories: in Products → Categories create Starters, Mains, Drinks… and drag them into the order you want. A category description is shown under the section title.
2. Dishes: add simple products with a price, a photo and a short description (that is the text on the menu). Use variable products for sizes or crusts. Tick Is Non-Vegetarian for meat and fish dishes and fill the Restaurant tab (spice level, labels, allergens, calories).
3. Hours: in WooCommerce → Restaurant → Restaurant switch each day on, type the hours (11:00 – 14:30, add a second period for dinner), add closed dates and your phone number. Save.
4. Ordering: on the Ordering tab choose delivery and/or pickup, the preparation time (30 minutes by default), how many days ahead customers can order, what happens while you are closed, and a minimum order if you want one.
5. Checkout: on the Checkout tab switch on "Ask for a day" and "Ask for a time slot" and set the slot length. The slot preview shows what customers will see.
6. Shipping: in WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping add a "Local pickup" method next to your delivery method, so pickup orders carry no delivery fee.
7. The page: add a Shortcode block with [wxp_restaurant] and publish. Open it, add a dish, open the basket, switch to pickup and go to the checkout: the Order type and the day and time fields are there.

5. The menu page

The shortcode and which dishes it lists

• Only published products that are not hidden from the catalog are listed, in the order of Products → All Products → Sorting, then by title. A dish in a child category is listed in the child's section only.
• With Hide out of stock items from the catalog on (WooCommerce → Settings → Products → Inventory), out-of-stock dishes are not listed; with it off they stay on the menu as Sold out. A dish that is in stock but cannot be bought (no price) shows Unavailable.
• Simple and variable products are ordered from the menu. External, grouped and other product types show a button that opens their own page.
• Use the shortcode once per page. A second menu on the same page works, but both share one basket drawer.

The status bar

The first thing on the menu is the status card:

• Open now · Closes at 10:00 pm while the current time is inside one of today's periods.
• Closed · Opens today at 6:00 pm (between lunch and dinner), Opens tomorrow at 10:00 am or Opens Tuesday at 10:00 am otherwise, followed by Pre-order for later when pre-orders are accepted.
• Closed · Temporarily not taking orders while the Temporarily closed switch is on; your closed message is shown underneath in red.
• An Opening hours button that opens a popup with the weekly hours (every period on its own line, today highlighted, closed days in red) and the next closed dates with their labels.
• A call button with your phone number (a tel: link).
• The Delivery / Pickup switch when both types are offered.
• Your header message (offers, delivery news) in a soft box below the card.

Delivery or pickup

With "Delivery and pickup" chosen under Ordering, the customer picks one in the status bar or at the bottom of the basket. The choice is stored in the WooCommerce session (for guests too), repeated as the default at checkout, saved on the order and used to pick the shipping rates (see Shipping rates). The basket shows your delivery note or pickup note (for example the collection address) under the switch. With "Delivery only" or "Pickup only" the switch is not shown and every order gets that type.

Navigation, search and filters

• Navigation: where the menu is at least 760 px wide the categories are a sticky list on the left; narrower menus get a sticky, swipeable bar of chips. The current section is highlighted while scrolling, and each entry shows how many dishes are visible.
• Search: filters as you type on the dish name and short description, ignoring case and accents. Escape or the × clears it.
• Veg only / Non-veg only: one or the other (ticking one unticks the other), based on the Is Non-Vegetarian flag.
• Vegan / Gluten-free: chips that keep only dishes carrying that label; both can be on at once. They are shown when dish labels are enabled.
• When nothing matches: "No dishes match your search." and a Show the whole menu button.
• You can hide the search box and the Veg filter on the Menu tab.

Dish cards, labels, spice and allergens

In the list layout each dish is a row with the diet mark, spice chillies and labels, the name (click it or the photo to open the popup), the short description, "Contains: …" and the kcal value, the price (sale prices with the old price struck through) and the Add button; the photo sits on the right. In the card layout the photo is on top and several cards share a row. Dishes with options or add-ons carry the word Customizable under their button.

• Diet mark: green square for vegetarian, red triangle for non-vegetarian.
• Spice level: one to three chillies (Mild, Medium, Hot), none for "Not spicy".
• Labels: Popular (shown as a ribbon on the photo), New, Chef's special, Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free. Developers can add labels with the wxp_restaurant_dish_labels filter.
• Allergens and calories: a "Contains: Gluten, Dairy" line and "640 kcal" under the description; switch them off on the Menu tab.

Adding dishes and the popup

• Simple dish without add-ons: Add puts one in the basket and turns into a stepper (−, quantity, +). At a quantity of 1 the minus button becomes a bin. Plus is disabled for products sold individually or at the maximum quantity.
• Dish with variations or add-ons: Add opens the popup. The popup shows the photo, name, diet mark, labels, price, description, allergens, the option groups, the note box, a quantity stepper and an Add to basket button with the live total (price plus add-ons, times the quantity).
• Same dish twice: if two versions of one dish are in the basket (two sizes), the minus button on the menu opens the basket instead of guessing which line to reduce.
• Every change shows a short toast ("Added to your basket." with a View basket button) and refreshes the floating basket button and your theme's mini cart.

Variable products

Each attribute becomes a row of option pills. The product's default attributes are preselected, combinations that are out of stock or have no price are shown crossed out and cannot be chosen, and the price and photo follow the chosen variation. "Any …" attributes take the customer's choice as usual. Variable products cannot carry PPOM add-ons.

PPOM for WooCommerce add-ons

Install the free PPOM for WooCommerce plugin and attach a field group to a simple product (directly or through its categories). The popup shows these field types:

Option prices are shown next to each option ("+$2.00"). A percentage price ("15%") is a percentage of the dish price. Prices and limits always come from the field definitions on the server: a changed request cannot lower a price. Other PPOM field types (file, date, image…) are ignored. In the basket, the order and the e-mails each group is listed as "Extras: Paneer (+$2.00), Garlic naan (+$2.50)" and the add-on total is added to the line price.

Special instructions

With "Let customers add a note to each dish" on (Menu tab, on by default), the popup has a Special instructions box (300 characters). The note is shown under the line in the basket, saved as the line meta "Note" on the order, and printed in the order e-mails and on the order screen. Two identical dishes with different notes are two basket lines. Dishes without options still open the popup through their name or photo, so the note is available for every dish.

The basket drawer

A floating button shows the item count and subtotal; on phones it becomes a full-width bar once the basket holds something. It opens a drawer with:

• Every line with its thumbnail, name, options, note, unit price, a quantity stepper (minus becomes a bin at 1; plus is disabled at the stock or sold-individually limit) and the line total.
• The Delivery / Pickup switch and your delivery or pickup note.
• The subtotal, the minimum-order bar and the free-delivery hint (next section), or "We are closed right now. Opens …" while ordering is refused.
• Checkout (disabled while the minimum is not reached or ordering is closed) and View cart.

Requests are sent one after another, so quick repeated taps on a stepper work from the latest basket; a failed request shows the WooCommerce message (stock, sold individually, other plugins' checks) as a toast. Hide the floating basket on the Menu tab to use your theme's cart instead.

Minimum order and the free-delivery hint

A Minimum order amount (Ordering tab) is compared with the basket subtotal (before shipping and discounts; including tax when your store shows prices including tax). Below it the drawer shows a progress bar and "Add $4.50 more to reach the minimum order of $15.00", the Checkout button is disabled, and the classic checkout and the Checkout block refuse the order with the same message. "Minimum order reached." appears once it is met. The Free delivery message from amount only shows "Add $12.00 more for free delivery." or "You qualify for free delivery." for delivery orders; set up the free-shipping rule itself in WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping.

6. Opening hours, closed dates and lead time

Open, closed and the next opening

• Each week day has an Open switch and up to two periods, typed as 24-hour times (11:00, 14:30; 24:00 means midnight; 10 and 10.30 are accepted and normalised). A period must end after it starts and within the same day; hours that cross midnight are not supported, so use 24:00 as the closing time.
• Closed dates (holidays, private events) are a list of YYYY-MM-DD lines with an optional label after a |. On those dates the restaurant counts as closed all day and no slot is offered; the next six upcoming ones are listed in the hours popup.
• The status is computed in the site timezone (Settings → General). "Open now" means the current time is inside a period of today and today is not a closed date; "Closes at" is the end of that period. "Opens …" is the start of the next period within the next 14 days.
• The Temporarily closed switch overrides everything: the status says Closed, your closed message is shown, ordering is refused and the delivery fields disappear from the checkout, until you switch it off.
• The Time format setting (12-hour "10:00 am" or 24-hour "10:00") applies to the status bar, the hours popup, the slots and the order details.

Ordering while closed

How the time slots are built

1. For today and the next days of the Order ahead window (1 – 14 days, 5 by default), the periods of each day are taken; closed days and closed dates are skipped.
2. The earliest time is now plus the Preparation / lead time (0 – 720 minutes, 30 by default).
3. While you are open and the earliest time is still before the end of the current period, the first slot is ASAP (about 30 min).
4. Timed slots start at the earliest time rounded up to the next Slot length boundary (5 – 240 minutes, 15 by default) and run every slot length until the end of the period, including the closing time. A period that would end before the earliest time offers nothing.
5. A day without any slot is left out. Days are labelled Today, Tomorrow, then "Wed Oct 14th". Slot values are stored as 24-hour times; the labels follow the Time format setting.

The Checkout tab shows a preview of the next three days' slots, so you can see the effect of the lead time and the slot length. The slots are rebuilt on every page load and checked again when the order is placed: a slot that has passed in the meantime is refused with "Please choose an available delivery time."

7. Checkout and orders

Classic checkout

Under "Additional information" the classic checkout gets an Order type row of pills (Delivery / Pickup, preselected with the customer's choice) when both types are offered, and – with "Ask for a day" on – a Delivery day / Pickup day select and, with "Ask for a time slot" on, a Delivery time / Pickup time select whose options follow the chosen day. The labels follow the chosen order type. Switching the type reloads the shipping rates. All three fields are required.

The Checkout block

The Checkout block gets two drop-downs under "Additional order information", registered through WooCommerce's Additional Checkout Fields API: Order type (when both types are offered) and Delivery / pickup time, one list that combines day and slot ("Today – ASAP (about 30 min)", "Tomorrow – 12:00 pm"), or Delivery / pickup day when no time slot is asked for. The values are mirrored into the same order meta as the classic checkout, and the plugin hides WooCommerce's raw copy of the fields from the confirmation and from the order editor (their options are the slots of the moment, so an admin save must not overwrite the customer's choice).

Shipping rates for pickup and delivery

When both order types are offered, the plugin filters the shipping rates of the current package by the chosen type: pickup keeps the rates of the methods local_pickup and pickup_location (WooCommerce's Local pickup, including the block checkout's pickup locations), delivery keeps all other rates. If a type would be left without any rate (for example no Local pickup method in the zone), the rates are left untouched so the checkout never gets stuck. Disable this with the wxp_restaurant_filter_shipping_rates filter.

Where the order type and slot go

What is checked on the server

• Every add-to-cart request is checked by WooCommerce (product published, purchasable, stock, sold individually, other plugins' woocommerce_add_to_cart_validation) and by the plugin: ordering open, a variation for variable products, required add-ons, minimum and maximum counts, prices from the field definitions.
• At checkout the plugin checks that ordering is open, the minimum order is reached, the order type is one you offer, and the day and time are slots that are available right now; the Checkout block gets the same checks through the Store API.
• Nothing a customer can edit in the browser (a price, a slot value, an add-on id) is trusted.

Security token and page caching

Every menu request carries a WordPress nonce (action wooexperts-menu). A page served from a full-page cache can carry an expired one; the server then answers with a fresh token and the script retries once, invisibly. If the retry fails too, the customer sees "Your session has expired. Please reload the page and try again." Keep the menu page's cache lifetime at 12 hours or less, and exclude it from caching for visitors with a basket if your cache does not already do that (the basket state is printed into the page).

Compatibility

• High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and the Cart and Checkout blocks (compatibility declared).
• Block themes: the assets are registered when the shortcode renders, so the menu works in templates that render before wp_enqueue_scripts.
• Right-to-left sites: the basket opens from the left and the layout mirrors.
• Reduced motion: animations are switched off when the visitor asks for it.
• Fixed footer bars (Storefront's handheld bar is handled): add body { --wxp-basket-lift: 60px; } to raise the floating basket.

8. Settings

WooCommerce → Restaurant (capability manage_woocommerce) starts with an overview strip – open or closed right now with the closing or next-opening time, orders today, dishes and categories on the menu, pages that contain the shortcode – and has six tabs. One Save changes button saves all tabs; the tab you were on is remembered.

Restaurant

Menu

Ordering

Checkout

Below the fields the tab previews the slots of the next three days.

Design

Nine colour tokens (Accent, Text on accent, Text, Muted text, Surface, Surface soft, Borders, Vegetarian mark, Non-vegetarian mark) with a colour picker each and a Reset colours to defaults button, a Corner radius slider (0 – 32 px) and a Custom CSS box. The values become CSS custom properties on .wxp-root and are printed with the menu stylesheet; the hover colour and the soft accent are derived from the accent. Your theme's font is used throughout.

The Restaurant tab of a product

The product editor (simple and variable products) gets a Restaurant tab in the Product data box: Spice level (Not spicy, Mild, Medium, Hot), Dish labels (Popular, New, Chef's special, Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free), Allergens (comma-separated) and Calories (kcal). Is Non-Vegetarian stays in the row of tick boxes next to the product type. The fields are saved from the product editor only; Quick Edit, imports and the REST API leave them as they are.

9. Developer reference

Shortcode

Filters and actions the plugin fires

Close the kitchen 30 minutes before the end of the hours, and add a label:

add_filter( 'wxp_restaurant_delivery_slots', function ( $slots, $settings ) {
    foreach ( $slots as $date => &$slot ) {
        array_pop( $slot['times'] ); // the last slot of every day is the closing time
    }
    return $slots;
}, 10, 2 );

add_filter( 'wxp_restaurant_dish_labels', function ( $labels ) {
    $labels['halal'] = 'Halal';
    return $labels;
} );

AJAX endpoints

Requests go to WooCommerce's endpoint ?wc-ajax=wxp_<action> as POST, for logged-out visitors too. Each handler verifies the nonce (action wooexperts-menu, POST parameter check) and, on an invalid one, answers code: "nonce" with a fresh nonce so the script can retry once.

Every answer has res (bool), message, fragments (div.wxp-drawer-content and button.wxp-basket-btn, replaced in the page) and cart (count, subtotal, subtotal_raw, products as id => qty and keys, order_type). The legacy endpoint ?wxperts-ajax=<action> still works for pages cached with a 1.x script.

JavaScript configuration

assets/js/menu.js (handle restaurant-script, deferred, no dependencies) receives the global wxpmenu: ajax_url, ajax_prefix (wxp_), nonce, cart_url, checkout_url, price (symbol, format, decimals, separators, so the popup total is formatted like wc_price()), settings (order_types, order_type, item_notes, ordering, closed_message, min_order, free_over) and i18n. On the checkout page assets/js/wxp-check.js (handle restaurant-check, needs jQuery) fills the time select from the day select's data-wxp JSON and renames the labels when the order type changes.

Templates and CSS

• templates/menu.php, templates/header.php and templates/basket.php are loaded with wc_get_template(); copy them to your-theme/advanced-restaurant-for-woocommerce/ to override. menu.php receives $items, $cats, $instance, $cart, $settings, $status, $layout and $ordering; the basket is printed once in wp_footer.
• Colours and sizes are CSS custom properties on .wxp-root (--wxp-accent, --wxp-accent-hover, --wxp-accent-contrast, --wxp-accent-soft, --wxp-text, --wxp-muted, --wxp-surface, --wxp-surface-2, --wxp-border, --wxp-veg, --wxp-nonveg, --wxp-radius…). The Design tab writes them; your own CSS can override them. body { --wxp-basket-lift: 60px; } lifts the floating basket above a fixed footer bar.
• Icons are inline SVG from RFWCP_Wexperts_AJAX::icon(); there is no icon font.

PHP classes and functions

• wxp_restaurant_pro() returns the main object (WooExperts_Restaurant_Pro): get_settings(), get_settings_fields( $data = null ) (sanitiser; defaults without arguments), reset_settings_cache(), get_color_defaults(), get_setting_choices(), get_dish_labels(), get_spice_levels(), get_dish_details( $product ), get_options( $product ), get_ppom_fields( $product_id ).
• WpExpertshub_Restaurant (classes/class-wpexpertshub-restaurant.php): the shortcode and menu data (get_menu_categories(), get_menu_items(), get_item_data()), the hours engine (now(), get_day_ranges(), get_date_ranges(), is_closed_date(), get_status(), is_open(), next_opening(), next_opening_text(), ordering_open(), closed_message(), get_weekly_hours(), get_delivery_slots()), order types (get_order_types(), get_order_type(), set_order_type()), the checkout fields, min_order_error(), get_order_delivery_details() and the orders-list column.
• RFWCP_Wexperts_AJAX (classes/ajax.php): the AJAX handlers, get_cart_state(), the basket, basket-button and order-type-switch HTML, stepper_html(), icon().
• WPXH_Licence_Client_V2 (licence/class-wpxh-licence-client.php): the licence and update client.
• Constants WXP_RESTAURANT_PRO_FILE, WXP_RESTAURANT_PRO_VER (2.0.0); block field ids wxp-restaurant/order-type, wxp-restaurant/delivery-day, wxp-restaurant/delivery-slot; session key wxp_order_type.

Options, meta and stored data
