Quickmunch WordPress documentation

Welcome! Quickmunch is a complete multi-restaurant food ordering, delivery and management platform for WordPress. This guide takes you from the ZIP you downloaded to a running, configured site — and then documents every screen the product has.

What you get

The product

Online ordering — delivery, pickup and dine-in from one storefront
Three business models — marketplace, your own restaurants, or franchise

What it works with

WooCommerce payments — cash on delivery built in; Stripe, PayPal, Square, Mollie, Razorpay, Paystack, Flutterwave, Mercado Pago and Payfast as optional gateways
Page builders — WPBakery bundled, and every section also available as a Gutenberg block and an Elementor widget
Maps & location — distance search and delivery maps
AI assistant — your own provider key
SMS — Twilio, for order and table notices
Translation-ready — every string in a .pot file, with right-to-left styles included
One-click demo import — two demos, one built in WPBakery and one in Elementor

The integrations are optional and off until you add your own key. Nothing in Quickmunch calls out to a provider you have not configured.

If you are setting up for the first time

1 · Check the serverThe WordPress, PHP and upload limits Quickmunch needs. 2 · InstallUpload the theme, install its plugins and import the demo. 3 · Check the business modelEvery install starts as a marketplace. Change it here. 4 · Your first hourThe handful of settings worth doing before anyone else logs in.

Want to look around before you configure anything? Import the demo in the last step of Installing Quickmunch. It brings the restaurants, menus and pages, so every screen has something in it while you learn.

Then, tell the guide how you sell

Quickmunch runs three different businesses from the same code, and they do not share screens. Use the business model tabs at the top of this page to pick yours. Pages that cannot exist in that model disappear from the contents, so you are never reading about a screen your installation does not have.

Model	How money moves	What you will not see
Marketplace	Independent restaurants. You take the online payment and pay each restaurant, keeping a commission.	Royalty invoices
My own restaurants	One owner, many venues. Every payment is your own revenue, consolidated.	Plans, subscriptions, sponsored ads, payouts, royalty invoices
Franchise	Each restaurant takes its own payments with its own gateway. You charge a royalty on their sales.	Payouts

Every install starts as a marketplace. To check or change it, see Choosing a business model.

Some pages also carry a “Needs …” badge. It names the feature a screen depends on. If a page describes something you cannot find, check that feature is switched on — see Turning features on and off.

What each part of the download is for, file by file, is in What's in the package.

Find your way by who you are

Platform operatorYou run the site: settings, restaurants, money, content and reports. Restaurant ownerYou run one venue or several: menu, orders, tables, devices and billing. Restaurant staffYou work a shift: the till, the kitchen screen, the floor and the cash drawer. CustomerWhat the people ordering from you see, so you can answer them. DriverAccepting a delivery, following it through and marking it done.

How each page is laid out

Every page follows the same order, so you can skim to the part you need:

Section	What it answers
What it is	One sentence, so you know whether to keep reading.
Where it lives	The exact path through the menus.
Set it up	Numbered steps, in the order you do them.
Fields	Every field on the screen and what it changes — only where that needs saying.
How it behaves	What the application does on its own, including the parts that surprise people.
When it doesn’t work	The failures we see most, and what to check first.

Screen names are exact. Where this guide names a button, a field or a menu row, it is written exactly as it appears in the application. If the wording on your screen differs, you are either on a different version or looking at a different screen.
