First of all you need to install the RestroPress plugin from the following link and activate it.

Once you download and install the plugin you can see a new menu on your WordPress dashboard called RestroPress.

Then just navigate to RestroPress and there you can find the following options

• Food Items: Food items are the real food which is displayed on the frontend.
• Food Category: Category for your food item like Sandwiches, Burgers, Hot Dogs etc.
• Add-on Category: This works as add-on item for your food items.
• Order History: Here you can track all orders that you receive.
• Customers: You can see all your customers under this menu and their life time spending on your site.
• Reports: You can use this to see a chart of your earnings and export them if you want.
• Settings: From settings you can set different things of your ordering system such as payment gateways, email templates etc.
• Tools: It gives you different tools to update overall system.

First of all you should create your food categories like we did here and then add the products.

Once you add the food category just add the food items like I did below.

Once you are done with setting up your product then next you can go to Addon Category to setup prices for your add-on items

So, your product is ready now and it can be displayed on the frontend.

On this screen, you will see all the products created under food items and users can click on the PLUS(+) symbol to add an item to cart. If your food items contain any addons then it will ask to choose Add-ons.

After choosing the options the customers can add the item to cart and order the food.

Here the users can adjust if they wan to do pick up or delivery and choose the pickup or delivery time for their food. Once they choose the details they will go to the checkout page where they can make a payment using Paypal and order will be displayed on the system
