Configuration

Settings are located at: WooCommerce > Settings > YeeMenu.

The interface has four main sections:

• General: Settings for search, top-selling, and layout defaults.
• Stores & Service Types: Configure delivery, takeaway, dine-in, and branch locations.
• Restaurant Timings: Setup daily opening hours and pre-order slots.
• Display: Manage the main brand color and global category/product visibility.

Menu Layouts

YeeMenu offers three distinct structures to match your theme. Go to Settings > YeeMenu > General to change the Layout:

• Sidebar Right (Default): The classic POS/App look. Products on the left, sticky cart on the right.
• Sidebar Left: Flipped orientation. Category navigation moves above the cart on the left.
• Full Width (Top): Disables the sticky sidebar cart entirely. Ideal if your theme already features a prominent sticky cart widget.

Service Types & Locations

Enable different ways for customers to receive their orders.

• Delivery: Standard WooCommerce shipping functionality applies.
• Takeaway & Dine-In: If enabled, you can add multiple Store Branches. The user will be required to select their preferred branch before adding items to the cart.
• Guest Count: Included automatically when Dine-In is selected.

Timings & Pre-order

Control exactly when your kitchen accepts orders.

• Multiple Daily Slots

  Set intervals like 09:00-14:00 and 17:00-22:00 for the same day.

• Mark as Closed

  Instantly shut down accepting orders for a specific day of the week.

• Pre-Ordering

  Allow customers to schedule orders up to 7 days in advance if you are currently closed.

AJAX Search & Filters

The built-in Search bar works instantly without page reloads. It intelligently respects your backend Display settings:

• Global Include/Exclude: Categories and Products added to the Exclude list in Settings will never appear in the search results.
• Whitelist Mode: If you specify Include categories, the search engine will only scan within those selected bounds.

Shortcodes

The primary way to display the menu is via the [yeemenu] shortcode.

FAQ

Q: Does this replace my theme's cart?
A: YeeMenu uses standard WooCommerce blocks. The sidebar cart acts as an Order Summary. Upon clicking "Checkout", the user is directed to the standard WooCommerce checkout page.

Q: How do I change the red color?
A: Go to WooCommerce > Settings > YeeMenu > Display. Change the Theme Color hex code. This scales automatically for hover/active states.
