What It Does

This plugin allows you to create a menu quickly for your restaurant or other business types such as salons and gyms. It comes with 5 templates out of the box and supports custom templating. The default templates are all responsive and look great on desktop, tablet, and mobile.

The menu supports groups and subgroups, as well as items that can include item name, description, image, and price. The menu editor allows you to easily drag and drop groups and items to reorganize them quickly.

Upon plugin activation, a new page is created called Menu, and the menu is automatically inserted on this page. If you want to display the menu on a different page, you can create a new page or edit an existing one and select 'Best Restaurant Menu' as the template. Alternatively, you can insert the shortcode [brm_restaurant_menu] to display the menu.
