Menu management

Show the right menu at the right time of day

Schedule food categories to appear automatically based on the time of day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and specials display exactly when they should.

In the Professional plan v1.2.4

What it does

Most restaurants serve different food at different times of the day. Time Based Menu makes that happen automatically. Assign food categories to specific time windows and the menu updates itself as the day progresses. Breakfast categories appear in the morning, lunch at midday, dinner in the evening, without any staff intervention.

Customers always see only what is currently available, which reduces confusion and avoids orders for items your kitchen is not preparing. Create time-limited specials and promotions for peak hours. Fully integrates with your existing RestroPress setup and is compatible with other extensions.
