   with drag-and-drop ease.
 * **Dietary Badges & Info**: Highlight Veg, Non-Veg, Vegan, Gluten-Free, or Spicy
   items at a glance.

 * **Custom Modifier Groups**: Add checkboxes, radio buttons, or quantity selectors
   for extras and add-ons.

   sauce”, „Pick up to 3 toppings”).
 * **Pre-Selected Defaults**: Guide customer choices with default selections to 
   speed up checkout.
 * **Immutable Snapshots**: Order modifiers are permanently locked into the receipt,
   preventing discrepancies.

#### 🧑‍🍳 Real-Time Kitchen Order Board (KDS)

 * **Live Operational Board**: Separate order operations into New, Accepted, Preparing,
   Ready, Out for Delivery, and Completed.
 * **Push Notifications & Sound Alerts**: Real-time Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM
   HTTP v1) alerts your kitchen staff instantly the moment an order arrives.
 * **Manual / Phone Order Entry**: Take walk-in or phone orders straight from the
   order board.
 * **Staff Access Roles**: Assign dedicated `Kitchen Manager`, `Kitchen Staff`, 
   or `Waiter` roles without exposing sensitive WordPress admin settings.

 * **Atomic InnoDB Ledger**: Concurrency-safe slot reservations ensure duplicate
   slot claims never occur during peak lunch and dinner rushes.
 * **Delivery & Pickup Windows**: Flexible lead times, advance ordering dates, and
   service-specific schedules.

#### 🏪 Multi-Store & Category-Specific Pages

 * **Dedicated Store Pages**: Run independent ordering pages for sub-brands (e.g.,`/
   bakery/` or `/cocktail-bar/`) with their own branding, colours, header, and clean
   confirmation page (`/confirmation/`).
 * **Store Switcher Bar**: Seamlessly navigate between locations or concepts using`[
   wowrestro_store_switcher]`.
 * **Shared WooCommerce Cart**: Smart cart handling ensures orders remain isolated
   to the correct storefront.

#### 📍 Multi-Location Branch Support

 * Assign menu items, operational hours, and orders to specific restaurant branches.
 * Allow customers to choose their closest branch using `[wowrestro_location_selector]`.

#### 💳 Seamless Checkout, Tipping & Tracking

 * **Clean Confirmation URLs**: Polished `/confirmation/` experience that securely
   restores the customer’s order session without ugly query keys.
 * **Tip Suggestions**: Preset percentage buttons (10%, 15%, 20%) and custom tip
   fields at checkout.

## Întrebări frecvente

### Does WowRestro charge any commission on orders?

No! WowRestro is 100% commission-free. Unlike Deliveroo, UberEats, or DoorDash that
take 20–30% of every sale, you keep all of your revenue and customer data.

### Can customers order on mobile without installing an app?

Yes! WowRestro provides a Progressive Web App (PWA) style single-page experience
directly in mobile browsers. Customers browse menus, pick toppings, and pay instantly
without downloading anything from the app store.

### How do the food modifiers and add-ons work?

Under **WowRestro > Modifier Groups**, you can create reusable modifier sets (e.
g., „Choose Crust”, „Extra Toppings”, „Choice of Dressing”). You can configure single-
choice radio buttons, multi-choice checkboxes, minimum/maximum selection rules, 
and prices for each choice. Then assign them to any food product with a single click.

### Can I prevent kitchen overload during peak rush hours?

Yes! WowRestro features built-in Kitchen Capacity and Slot Reservations. You can
define how many orders your kitchen can handle in each 15, 30, or 60-minute window.
Once a slot reaches capacity, customers are prompted to select the next available
time slot.

### How does Dine-In QR Table Ordering work?

Each dining table can have its own QR code generated from the WowRestro dining settings.
When a guest scans the QR code with their phone camera, the menu opens with their
table number pre-selected. Their order is sent straight to the Kitchen Order Board
tagged with their table number.

### How do kitchen staff get notified of new orders?

Staff can keep the **Kitchen Order Board** open on any tablet, iPad, or computer
screen. WowRestro uses real-time push notifications (Firebase FCM) and audible chimes
so the kitchen is alerted immediately when a new order lands.

### Can I use WowRestro with page builders like Elementor or the Block Editor?

Yes! WowRestro includes both a native Gutenberg Block and an Elementor Widget for
the menu, plus flexible shortcodes for full customization in any theme or builder.

### Is it compatible with WooCommerce HPOS and Checkout Blocks?

Yes! WowRestro is fully declared compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order
Storage (HPOS) and both classic checkout and the new Cart & Checkout Blocks.

### Can I migrate my settings from WooRestro 1.x?

Yes! WowRestro 2.0 includes an automatic, non-destructive legacy migration tool 
that safely upgrades your settings, legacy modifiers, and order history.

### 󠀁[Very nice plugin – One suggestion only](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-nice-plugin-one-suggestion-only/)󠁿

 [NETT.PRO](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nettpro/) 10 iulie 2022 2 răspunsuri

This is a very nice plugin. I would really like only one more feature added. It 
would be so nice if it was possible to add different opening times for each day.
I am making a website for a pizza restaurant and they have different closing times
for different days. another feature you could consider would be that the woo delivery
method could change based on if the customer choose pickup or delivery. 🙂

## Istoric modificări

#### 2.0

 * Major Release: Complete architectural modernization for high-performance restaurant
   operations.
 * Added: WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and Cart & Checkout 
   Blocks compatibility.
 * Added: Live Kitchen Order Board with real-time Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM 
   HTTP v1) push notifications and audio alerts.
 * Added: Operational order statuses (New, Accepted, Preparing, Ready, Out for Delivery,
   Completed, Cancelled) decoupled from payment statuses.
 * Added: Atomic shared-kitchen capacity and slot reservations ledger with InnoDB
   transactional safety.
 * Added: Single-page ordering storefront app powered by WooCommerce Store API, 
   including 36 modern menu templates.
 * Added: Store pages. An ordering page whose menu shortcode sets a product category,`[
   wowrestro_menu category="bakery"]`, runs as its own store: it gets its own checkout
   and confirmation under its page (/bakery/checkout/, /bakery/confirmation/), and
   orders, receipts and email links remember the store. The shortcode can also set
   the store’s `name`, switcher `label`, `tagline`, `hero` (two lines split by |),
   menu `heading`, `note`, colours (`accent`, `ink`, `paper`), corner `radius` in
   pixels, `type="shop"` (the receipt talks about the store, not the kitchen) and`
   header="store"` (a store header with a live cart pill and a store footer in place
   of the theme’s). All store pages share one WooCommerce cart: a store’s menu drops
   dishes added in another store, and /checkout/ or another store’s checkout sends
   the cart to its own store.
 * Added: `[wowrestro_store_switcher label="" brand="" brand_url="" cta="" cta_url
   =""]`, a bar linking the store pages. On a store page with `header="store"` it
   sits above the store header.
 * Added: Modern Gutenberg menu block and Elementor widget for flexible menu embedding.
 * Added: Reusable Modifier Groups custom post type (`wowrestro_mod_group`) with
   min/max selection bounds, single/multi choices, default options, and immutable
   order snapshots.
 * Added: Table reservations management system (`[wowrestro_reservations]`) with
   slot capacity, guest limits, and deposit support.
 * Added: Dine-in QR code table ordering (`[wowrestro_staff_panel]`) with automatic
   table session tracking.
 * Added: Multi-location / branch restaurant support (`[wowrestro_location_selector]`).
 * Added: Least-privilege restaurant staff roles (`wowrestro_manager`, `wowrestro_staff`,`
   wowrestro_waiter`).
 * Added: In-board manual / phone order entry with item selection, custom delivery/
   pickup timing, and payment collection.
 * Added: Tip calculation support (percentage presets and custom flat amounts) on
   cart and checkout.
 * Added: Live customer order tracking page and shortcode (`[wowrestro_tracking]`)
   with progress updates on Thank You page and emails.
 * Added: The `wowrestro_design_config` filter. Through it a menu page can keep 
   to one product category (`category`, its sub-categories become the tabs), and
   change the hero line (`hero`, „First line|second line”), the menu heading (`heading`)
   and the line under the menu (`note`).
 * Added: The order flow fires a `wowrestro:cart` event on the document with the
   item count and the formatted total whenever the cart changes, for a header cart
   badge outside the menu.
 * Added: Comprehensive REST API under `wowrestro/v1` namespace for menu, availability,
   operations, devices, and tracking.
 * Added: Resumable, non-destructive legacy data migration tool for seamless upgrades
   from WOWRestro 1.x and WooRestro.
 * Added: Guided 4-step onboarding wizard for first-time restaurant setup.
 * Added: Built-in HPOS-safe restaurant sales analytics and operational reporting.
 * Added: Site Health diagnostic checks for checkout compatibility, configuration,
   and capacity ledger health.
 * Changed: After checkout the confirmation opens at /confirmation/ (or a site’s
   own /…/confirmation/), with no order number or key in the address. A keyed link,
   after checkout or from an email, is remembered in that browser’s session and 
   redirects to the clean address, which shows that order and survives a refresh.
   Keyed links still work everywhere, so emails open on any device; links a payment
   gateway added its own parameters to are left alone so it can finish the payment.
   With no order in the session, /confirmation/ goes back to the menu.
 * Changed: Restaurant orders confirm at clean confirmation routes instead of /checkout/
   order-received/{order}/?key=…, while maintaining gateway thank-you hooks, conversion
   tracking, and guest email check behavior. Old links keep working. Sites on plain
   permalinks keep WooCommerce’s address.
 * Changed: The QR table card photo is recompressed (same size and look), which 
   brings the plugin zip under the common 2 MB upload limit.
 * Changed: The order flow’s text (menu, item dialog, cart, checkout and confirmation)
   uses Poppins on every template, in place of each template’s own fonts.
 * Changed: The WooRestro 0.3 demo’s old design files are no longer loaded if a 
   site still enqueues them.
 * Fixed: Every order into a part-booked kitchen slot wrote one „WordPress database
   error Duplicate entry” line to the PHP error log for each position already taken.
   Those collisions are how a slot is claimed safely, so they are no longer logged;
   a real database fault while reserving still is.
 * Fixed: After activating the plugin (a new install, or switching over from WooRestro),/
   confirmation/ pages returned „not found” until Settings > Permalinks was opened.
   Activation now adds the route before WordPress rebuilds its rules.
 * Fixed: Switching over from WooRestro by activation left a migration stopped by
   the settings check stopped; activation now restarts it, as updating already did.
 * Fixed: The data migration stopped with „settings could not be saved during migration”
   whenever it ran in an admin request (Retry migration, or the background runner
   on admin-ajax). It compared the saved settings with the unsanitized value, and
   the settings sanitizer always reshapes it. A migration stopped by this runs again
   after the update.
 * Fixed: Template 1 tinted every button in the order panel alike, so Checkout, 
   Place order and the options dialog’s Add looked disabled. They are solid in the
   template’s colour again.
 * Fixed: Selected times, the chosen payment method, step numbers, quantity steppers
   and card hovers used a fixed orange instead of the template’s colour.
 * Removed: Legacy jQuery dependencies (jquery.timepicker, jquery.toast, jquery.
   tipTip) and outdated template files in favor of lightweight vanilla scripts and
   Phosphor icon fonts.
