Why roll out WP InPlate

An ordering system for restaurants without building it from scratch.

Technology you know

You add the menu, the cart, the order form and the delivery check with Gutenberg blocks or shortcodes on a WordPress website.

Works with WordPress themes

You can use the client’s theme if it’s WordPress-compatible. You don’t need to build a new website just to add ordering.

The owner updates the offer themselves

The owner can change prices, daily specials, availability and ordering hours from a tablet in the manager panel. That way, not every change needs a request to the developer.

The wizard helps with setup

The wizard takes you through choosing fulfillment methods, pages, hours, delivery zones, dish types and staff accounts.

A license for one website

The license is tied to one website. You can price the setup, configuration and staff training as your own service.

Data stays on the client’s server

Customer and order data are stored in the WordPress database on the venue’s server, not on an intermediary platform.

Your service

Setting up WP InPlate as a service for your clients.

WP InPlate provides the order-handling features. You configure them for a specific venue’s needs.

  1. Analyzing the venue

    Decide on the fulfillment methods, the delivery range, and whether the venue needs table ordering or a menu on TV screens.

  2. Installation and the wizard

    Install WooCommerce and WP InPlate, set up a payment gateway and go through the wizard.

  3. Menu and add-ons

    Prepare dish categories, products, add-on lists and seasonal offers. Also set up product suggestions for the cart.

  4. Team training

    Show staff how to run the KDS on a tablet, handle deliveries on a phone and change the offer in the manager panel.

Requirements

WP InPlate technical requirements.

WordPress 6.4+, WooCommerce 8.0+ (tested up to 10.7), PHP 8.1+, a working REST API and HTTPS. Delivery zones use OpenStreetMap maps.

Full requirements in the documentation

  1. Page caching

    Turn off full-page caching for the menu and order form pages. Otherwise, customers may see outdated cart or dish availability data.

  2. HTTPS

    HTTPS is needed to add the KDS and the courier panel as PWA apps.

  3. Sound in the KDS

    Because of browser rules, the new order sound may need a first tap on the screen. Include this in staff training.
