Key Features

1. The upload area is completely separate from the other admin settings, staff can be given permission to upload menus without any risk.
2. Support for Gutenberg Blocks
3. SEO and User friendly: Links are stable -> you can change the menu name, but the link to the menu stays the same.
4. Unlimited menus supported with premium add-on: beautiful-wp.com. The basic version supports lunch menu and a main menu.
5. Links to menus can be placed everywhere in wordpress: you get shortcodes for the links.
6. Linktext can easily be changed in the shortcode.
7. Multilanguage support.
8. Add a descriptive text for the menu uploader with instructions.
9. Optional redirect to Menu Upload Page, after login.

The menus can be uploaded under Media > Easy Menu Upload.

With this plugin you can leave the restaurant menu upload to your employee. The file type is fixed and if the employee does have the user role Restaurant Menu Uploader he can only upload the food menus, nothing else.

Shortcodes

You can refer to the menus everywhere in wordpress with the following shortcodes:
To get ready to use html link
For Lunch: [nsc_eprm_menu_link restaurant_menu_type=”lunch” linktext=”Lunch menu”]
For general menu: [nsc_eprm_menu_link restaurant_menu_type=”general” linktext=”General Menu”]
You can change the text of “linktext” as you like.
Both will return a html link ready for usage, with the text of the defined “linktext” value.
to get file url
[nsc_eprm_menu_file_url restaurant_menu_type=”lunch” cachebuster=true]

If you use the premium add-on and have more link types you get the shortcode for the required food menu in the upload section.

New user role

This Plugin also adds a new role: Restaurant Menu Uploader. User with this role can only upload the restaurant menu and see the dashboard, so perfect for any employee.
