Biggest opportunity: Swap “bar” and “booking” for “restaurant booking” and “restaurant reservation”. “bar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “restaurant booking” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “booking” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “restaurant reservation” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.5%
of downloads still active
At least 50 of 10.2K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 940 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Booking & Events plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Opening / closing weekdays only available in premium version. Useless without that,

The rating relates primarily to the behavior of the seller. I don’t use the plugin because it is not what I need. According to the law, you can cancel an online purchase within 2 weeks without any problems. The seller refused this. I will not take any legal action because of the small amount of money, but at least the review is necessary. If someone doesn’t follow business principles, then you shouldn’t do business with him. I hope this saves others problems.
