Build a clean, responsive food menu for your restaurant, cafe or bar. Add items with prices and categories, then display them with a shortcode.

== Description ==

**Cheyytec Restaurant Menu Board** is the fastest way to add a beautiful food menu to any WordPress site. Create menu items with a name, description, price and photo, group them into categories like *Appetizers*, *Main Courses* or *Drinks*, and show the whole menu anywhere with a single shortcode.

No page builder required, no complicated setup — just a clean, mobile-friendly menu that matches your theme.

= Key features =

* **Menu items** with title, description, price and image.
* **Categories** to organise your menu into sections (starters, mains, desserts, drinks…).
* **Featured items** — highlight the chef's specials with a badge.
* **Simple shortcode** — drop `[cheyytec_menu]` on any page or post.
* **Show one section** — use `[cheyytec_menu category="drinks"]` to display a single category.
* **Responsive design** that inherits your theme's colours and fonts.
* **Lightweight** — the stylesheet loads only on pages that use the menu.
* Works with the block editor, classic editor, and most page builders.

= How to use =

1. Go to **Restaurant Menu → Add New** and create your menu items.
2. Set a price in the *Menu Item Details* box and assign one or more categories.
3. Create a page and add the shortcode `[cheyytec_menu]`.
4. Publish — your menu is live.

= Shortcode options =

* `[cheyytec_menu]` — show the full menu, grouped by category.
* `[cheyytec_menu category="desserts"]` — show only one category (use the category slug).
* `[cheyytec_menu show_images="false"]` — hide item photos for a compact text menu.
