Restaurant Food Services Plugin

Restaurant Food Services is a modular WooCommerce extension for restaurants and food brands that need meal planning, recurring subscriptions, catering request management, and delivery scheduling in one plugin. It combines storefront features with admin workflows so teams can manage orders, subscriptions, and catering approvals without stitching together multiple tools. The codebase is organized with a Loader-based architecture for maintainability, predictable hooks, and safe extensibility.

Key Features

• Meals module: add meal-plan product settings like meals per week, meal selection rules, and meal metadata.
• Frontend entry pages: shortcode-based public containers for [restaurant_order_meals], [restaurant_meal_plans], and [restaurant_catering].
• Account authentication UI: a signup-first Sign up / Sign in tab switcher for the frontend account page and registration shortcode.
• Subscriptions module: create subscription records from checkout orders, support customer pause/resume/cancel actions, and process renewal scheduling.
• Catering module: capture catering requests via shortcode form, manage requests in admin, and convert approved requests into WooCommerce orders.
• Delivery module: collect delivery date/time-slot checkout fields and manage delivery schedules from the admin dashboard.
• WooCommerce emails: includes custom customer emails for subscription created, catering request submitted, and catering approved events.
• Security and structure: nonce checks, capability guards, sanitized inputs, escaped outputs, and module-driven hook registration via Loader.

Shortcodes

The plugin provides several shortcodes to display the frontend interfaces:

Frontend Account Authentication

The account module adds a signup-first authentication experience for logged-out users:

• [restaurant_signup] renders a registration-first page with a secondary Sign in tab.
• [restaurant_account] renders the same logged-out auth switcher, then shows the Restaurant Hub when the visitor is signed in.
• The WooCommerce my-account endpoint also uses the same logged-out switcher when registration is enabled.

Behavior

• Sign up is the default tab so new customers can register immediately.
• Sign in remains available as the secondary tab for returning customers.
• If WooCommerce registration is disabled, the UI falls back to the login form only.
• The switcher respects WooCommerce settings such as woocommerce_enable_myaccount_registration, woocommerce_registration_generate_username, and woocommerce_registration_generate_password.

Optional tab links

You can deep-link to a specific tab with the auth query parameter:

• ?auth=signup opens the Sign up tab.
• ?auth=signin opens the Sign in tab.

Loader Architecture

• Module hooks are registered through Loader in each module register_hooks( Loader $loader ) method.
• Startup is handled via Bootstrap::init() and Bootstrap::on_plugins_loaded().
• Direct add_action/add_filter registrations are limited to bootstrap/loader internals.
