Five Star Restaurant Menu and Food Ordering

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

157 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 124 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

   We use this plugin for a whiskey bar with over 1.200 whiskeys in Berlin. For this special setup we asked for a addon custom code. Tony from support team was helping very fast and came along with a perfect working solution! The plugin itself impresses with its many features and extensive customisation options. It is also very well documented.

   Nice restaurant menu plugin. Free version has many possibilities. Still if you need more customization you migth need to buy the pro version or make theme customization.

   I’m using this plugin as a menu for the catering section of a clients website. It was easy to use and understand the different features of the plugin. I was working on it and all of a sudden the entire page crashed and wouldn’t load. I reached out to the team and within 24 hours they had a solution for me and the page was back up and running. Beyond relieved, and very pleased with the support and plugin!

   I am working on a restaurant website where I am adding a menu. I needed just a menu to display because I did not need online ordering. So, I tried others and I decided on Five Star Restaurant Menu. I decided on it because it was easy to use and the cost was reasonable. It provided the most options and displayed the menu items how I liked it. I wanted the options so I bought the premium version. It was easy to add menu items and create multiple menus. I can change the order of sections. My issue was that some CSS styles were not playing nice with the theme I picked. So, I am not a developer and know just enough to be dangerous. I reached out to support and they were able to quickly give me the CSS code I needed to correct the issues. Thank you!

   I can’t say enough good things about this plugin. I’ve been using it for almost 10 years give or take a few. I’ve never had any serious issues with it and it runs on quite a few sites I manage. Countless thanks to the developers!!

   This is not what was expected. Lightbox does not work with menu section. You need to go into a lot of CSS to make the menu presentable. +1 for the support that did their best to help. But if you are interested in one restaurant menu, that is not your way to go.
