Description

Wizehawk Weekly Menu Manager helps small food businesses publish a changing menu without rebuilding the same products every week.

Create menu items once, organize them into categories, build each weekly menu from the items you want to offer, and display the current menu anywhere on your site with the [wizehawk_weekly_menu] shortcode.

If WooCommerce is active, Wizehawk Weekly Menu Manager can connect menu items to WooCommerce products so customers can add items to cart and use your normal WooCommerce checkout. The plugin can also be used for contact or in-person ordering.

Free features

Reusable menu items and categories.
Weekly menus with start and end dates.
Order deadlines and automatic rollover to the next available menu.
Drag-and-drop menu item ordering.
WooCommerce product creation and two-way product synchronization.
Add-to-cart ordering through WooCommerce.
Call, text, email, social-message, and in-person ordering options.
Optional calling days and calling hours.
Basic pickup date and time scheduling.
Display controls for menu titles, dates, descriptions, categories, images, quantities, and layout.
Automatic creation of a menu page with the [wizehawk_weekly_menu] shortcode.

Optional Pro version

A separately distributed Pro add-on is available outside WordPress.org. It requires the free Wizehawk Weekly Menu Manager plugin to remain installed and active. The Pro add-on adds an active and completed Pickup Schedule dashboard, Ready / Picked Up workflow, clean pickup-order cancellation, Production Summary, printable production sheets, custom pickup-slot lengths, minimum-notice controls, booking-window controls, and per-slot capacity limits. Pro code is not included in the WordPress.org plugin.

The WordPress.org Free package does not include the Pro operational code.

Installation

Upload Wizehawk Weekly Menu Manager through Plugins > Add Plugin, or install it from the WordPress.org Plugin Directory once available.
Activate the plugin.
Open Weekly Menus > Dashboard.
Create your categories and menu items.
Create a weekly menu and choose the items to include.
Use the automatic menu page option or place [wizehawk_weekly_menu] on any page.

WooCommerce is optional. Without WooCommerce, you can still display weekly menus and use contact or in-person ordering methods.

FAQ

Does this require WooCommerce?: No. Wizehawk Weekly Menu Manager can display menus and support contact or in-person ordering without WooCommerce. WooCommerce is only needed for cart and checkout ordering.
Can I reuse the same food items every week?: Yes. Create a menu item once, then include it in any future weekly menu.
What happens when an order deadline passes?: If another eligible weekly menu is available, the plugin can automatically show the next menu instead of continuing to accept orders from the closed menu.
Can customers choose a pickup date and time?: Yes. Basic pickup date and time scheduling is included in the Free version when WooCommerce is active. Advanced slot length, minimum notice, booking-window, and per-slot capacity controls are provided only by the separately installed Pro add-on.
Does the Free version contain locked Pro code?: No. The WordPress.org Free package is generated without the Pro operational code. Upgrade links may be shown in the WordPress admin for users who want information about the separately distributed Pro version.
