Description
Cheyytec Restaurant Menu Board is the fastest way to add a food menu with prices to any WordPress site. Create menu items with a name, description, price and photo, group them into categories like Appetizers, Main Courses or Drinks, and show the whole menu anywhere with a single shortcode.
Most restaurant menu plugins are built around online ordering and delivery. This one is not: if all you need is a clean digital menu that lists your dishes and prices, there is no cart, no checkout, no page builder and no setup wizard to get through.
Made for
- Restaurants — a full menu grouped into starters, mains, desserts and drinks.
- Cafes and coffee shops — a short drinks and pastry list with prices.
- Bars and pubs — cocktail, beer and wine lists.
- Food trucks and takeaways — a compact text-only menu that loads fast on phones.
- Bakeries, pizzerias and small kitchens — a simple price list your customers can read on any device.
Key features
- Menu items with title, description, price and image.
- Categories to organise your menu into sections (starters, mains, desserts, drinks…).
- Featured items — highlight the chef’s specials with a badge.
- Simple shortcode — drop
[cheyytec_menu]on any page or post. - Show one section — use
[cheyytec_menu category="drinks"]to display a single category. - Responsive design that inherits your theme’s colours and fonts.
- Lightweight — the stylesheet loads only on pages that use the menu.
- Works with the block editor, classic editor, and most page builders.

Installation
- Upload the
cheyytec-restaurant-menu-boardfolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory, or install the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.
- Go to Restaurant Menu in the admin sidebar to add your first items and categories.
- Place the
[cheyytec_menu]shortcode on any page or post.
FAQ
-
Yes. The categories are just names you choose, so a coffee shop can use Espresso, Cold Brew and Pastries exactly the same way a restaurant uses Starters and Mains. It works equally well for bars, bakeries, food trucks and takeaways.
-
Does it add online ordering or a shopping cart?
-
No, and that is deliberate. This plugin displays a menu with prices — nothing else. If you need delivery, cart or checkout, a full ordering plugin will suit you better.
-
After activating the plugin you will see a new Restaurant Menu item in your admin sidebar. Click Add New to create each dish, set its price and choose a category.
-
Add the shortcode
[cheyytec_menu]to any page or post. It outputs the full menu grouped by category. -
Yes. Use the category slug, for example
[cheyytec_menu category="drinks"]. -
Does it work with the block editor?
-
Yes. Add a Shortcode block and paste
[cheyytec_menu]inside it. -
Will it match my theme?
-
The menu uses your theme’s fonts and colours by default and is fully responsive, so it looks at home on any site.
