Create an online menu, let customers customize dishes with add-ons, accept orders through a mobile-friendly checkout, receive online payments with Stripe, and manage orders directly from WordPress. The plugin provides the essential tools for online food ordering without requiring WooCommerce. #### How does it work? Watch the video guide to see Olena Food in action: #### Menu Management Create your menu with names, descriptions, photos, and prices. Organize items by categories and tags so customers can filter the menu. Choose a grid or list layout and your currency symbol. #### Store Search and Navigation Help customers find dishes with a search box and category or tag filters above the menu. Search checks item names and descriptions. Choose which navigation options to show in the Designs settings. #### Complex Add-ons Let customers customize dishes with toppings, extras, sauces, and sides. Group options, set prices and quantities, and reuse add-ons across dishes. Make selected add-ons required. Prices update as customers make their choices. #### Menu Item Sizes Offer a dish in multiple sizes, each with its own price. Every item has a Normal price plus optional sizes (e.g. Small, Large). Customers pick a size and the price updates instantly; each size is a separate cart line shown through checkout, receipt, and management. Unpriced sizes stay hidden. #### Order Creation and Management Customers create orders on your site by selecting items, configuring add-ons, adding to the cart, reviewing, and checking out. Each order is created in WordPress, where administrators can manage all submitted orders from the admin area. #### Cart and Checkout Olena Food includes its own cart and checkout. Customers review their selected products and add-ons before submitting an order, with a mobile-friendly interface suited to ordering directly from a phone. #### Duplicate Order and Abuse Protection Prevents duplicate orders and basic abuse automatically, with no setup. A secure private session per visitor means double-clicks, retries, and simultaneous submissions can’t duplicate an order, while genuine new orders still go through. Order rate is limited and shared networks aren’t blocked. #### Stripe Payment Gateway Accept online card payments with Stripe. Customers securely pay while placing an order, and Stripe works alongside other available payment methods so you can offer online payment when required. #### Email Notifications Send automatic emails on key order events, with separate messages for admins and customers: order confirmation, successful payment, and cancellation (when a customer cancels a pending order). Configure subjects and templates per recipient; cancellation emails toggle independently. #### Tips Let customers add a tip at checkout. Enable tipping and pick a percentage (5, 10, 15, 20, or 25%); they choose it or No Tip and the total updates instantly. The tip covers items and add-ons only (not tax or fees), is added to the gateway amount, saved with the order, and shown via {tips} in emails. #### Working Hours Set the days and hours when your business accepts orders. Define your regular weekly schedule and add custom rules for specific dates that need different opening hours. #### Order Timing Control how close to a working period’s end each item can be ordered. Set a global minimum preparation time (overridable per dish) plus a buffer to stop earlier. Items turn unavailable when too little time remains, and timing is re-checked on the server. Supports multiple daily periods. #### Pickup & Delivery Time Let customers choose when they want their order at checkout — ASAP or a specific 10-minute slot today. Available times are computed on the server from preparation time, delivery estimate, and working hours, then frozen onto the order and shown in receipts and emails. #### Pause / Open Orders Temporarily pause online ordering and reopen it with one click, controlled from a settings tab, a floating admin button, or the admin bar — all synced in real time. While paused, show a customizable storefront notice, keep or hide the menu, and block new orders securely on the server. #### Menu Item Availability Mark items available or unavailable without unpublishing, so you can pull a sold- out dish instantly. Unavailable items show a label, lose the Add to Cart button, are flagged in the cart, and are blocked on the server. In admin, a colored Availability column and highlighted editor show status. #### Add-on Availability Mark an add-on available or unavailable to pull a sold-out extra from every dish that uses it at once — assignments stay intact. Unavailable add-ons are hidden on the storefront, flagged if already selected, and blocked on the server. Manage status from the add-on editor and list table. #### Inventory Optionally track stock for menu items and add-ons so sold-out dishes and extras leave the storefront; off by default. Each size keeps its own stock, and add-on stock is shared across dishes. Stock is reduced once per order, enforced on the server, and never restocked automatically. #### Live Orders Keep a real-time view of incoming orders so you never miss one. The Live Orders monitor shows new, unopened orders without refreshing and plays a sound alert. Click an order to open and mark it viewed everywhere. Choose from four sounds, adjust or mute the volume, plus a live admin-bar counter. #### Store Designs Change the look of your store and the Olena admin by picking a design on the Designs page — no code needed. Choose Default (no extra styles), Basic (soft, rounded, coral) or Minimal (clean, squared, terracotta). It loads only when selected, so Default stays lightweight and remembers your choice. #### Setup Wizard Get running quickly with a guided first-run wizard instead of hunting through settings. Set the essentials — currency, store page, time zone, working hours, payments, tips, and emails — or import demo content. It saves through the plugin’s normal settings and appears only on a fresh install. #### Demo Import Get started quickly by importing demo content. The importer creates example menu items and add-ons so you can see how the plugin works and use them as a starting point for your own menu. #### Mobile-Friendly Ordering Olena Food is built with mobile ordering in mind. Customers can browse the menu, customize items, manage their cart, and complete orders from smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers. #### No WooCommerce Required Olena Food provides its own food ordering workflow and doesn’t require WooCommerce, making it ideal for small food businesses that want a focused ordering system without a full eCommerce platform. ## Screenshots [⌊Food menu⌉⌊Food menu⌉[ Food menu [⌊Menu item customization and add-ons⌉⌊Menu item customization and add-ons⌉[ Menu item customization and add-ons [⌊Shopping cart⌉⌊Shopping cart⌉[ Shopping cart [⌊Checkout⌉⌊Checkout⌉[ Checkout [⌊Order receipt⌉⌊Order receipt⌉[ Order receipt [⌊Order management⌉⌊Order management⌉[ Order management [⌊Stripe payment settings⌉⌊Stripe payment settings⌉[ Stripe payment settings [⌊Email notification settings⌉⌊Email notification settings⌉[ Email notification settings [⌊Working hours settings⌉⌊Working hours settings⌉[ Working hours settings [⌊Pause / Open Orders settings page⌉⌊Pause / Open Orders settings page⌉[ Pause / Open Orders settings page [⌊Pause / Open Orders store page⌉⌊Pause / Open Orders store page⌉[ Pause / Open Orders store page [⌊Live Orders Sound Notifications page⌉⌊Live Orders Sound Notifications page⌉[ Live Orders Sound Notifications page [⌊Menu Item Sizes⌉⌊Menu Item Sizes⌉[ Menu Item Sizes [⌊Tips Settings page⌉⌊Tips Settings page⌉[ Tips Settings page [⌊Tips on Checkout page⌉⌊Tips on Checkout page⌉[ Tips on Checkout page [⌊Search by keywords, categories and tags⌉⌊Search by keywords, categories and tags⌉[ Search by keywords, categories and tags [⌊Search by keyword⌉⌊Search by keyword⌉[ Search by keyword [⌊Order Timing Settings⌉⌊Order Timing Settings⌉[ Order Timing Settings [⌊Minimum Preparation Time on Menu Items⌉⌊Minimum Preparation Time on Menu Items⌉[ Minimum Preparation Time on Menu Items [⌊Inventory⌉⌊Inventory⌉[ Inventory [⌊Pickup & Delivery Time.

Plugin covers exactly what they need: menu setup is quick, add-ons work great for customizing orders (toppings, portion sizes, etc.), and it genuinely looks good on mobile — which is basically all the traffic food trucks get. No need to wrestle with WooCommerce or extra dependencies, just install and go.
