[PROMOTION] Food Menu — WordPress Restaurant Menu Plugin with Online Food Ordering using WooCommerce

I'm the person behind this plugin, so quick heads up that it's my own plugin.

Food Menu is a restaurant menu and online ordering plugin by RadiusTheme. The reason I think it's worth a look over the usual menu plugins is that it doesn't stop at "display a menu", it goes all the way to running the actual restaurant, and you only turn on the parts you need.

Main features:

Two modes in one plugin — a simple standalone menu (photo, description, price) or a full WooCommerce ordering system, switched with one setting
QR code table ordering — print a code per table, guests scan and order, and each order knows which table it came from
Table reservation with a visual floor plan — build a drag-and-drop map of your actual dining room so guests pick their exact table when they book
Live kitchen screen — orders show up in real time with a sound alert, and staff tick off items as they cook them. No extra app or subscription
Front-end staff dashboard — your team takes orders, edits them and prints receipts without ever needing a WordPress admin login
Front-end order management — see live orders with search and filters, edit line items, and create phone or walk-in orders right from the dashboard, with stock updating just like a normal checkout
Real inventory — counts stock down as things sell, logs waste, handles suppliers and purchase orders, and gives sales/ profit/ waste reports
Pickup, delivery and dine-in — each with its own schedule, plus limits on how many orders per time slot so the kitchen doesn't get buried at 7pm
POS receipt printing and SMS/ WhatsApp order notification
Menu layouts — grid, list, slider and a filterable one, built with a no-code shortcode generator, plus Gutenberg and Elementor support
and more...

The free version is honestly enough to launch with, it also includes table reservations, tips, discounts and an offer popup.

Here's the free version: https://wordpress.org/plugins/tlp-food-menu/

Happy to answer anything about the architecture or the WooCommerce side. And I'm after honest feedback, if you build sites for restaurants, what's the feature that usually makes or breaks the plugin for you?

[Discussion] Envato now takes 50% per sale. One month later our sales are down ~70%. Here's the real math.

10 years on ThemeForest. One rule change. Sales down ~70% in a month.

I run a WordPress theme & plugins development company. We've been on Envato's ThemeForest since 2016 (RadiusTheme) — around 61,000 sales, 90+ themes, and we'd made it to Power Elite (their top author level). I wanted to share what this past month has been like, with real numbers, because not many authors are talking about it openly.

On July 1, 2026, Envato made a big change. Exclusivity is gone (authors can sell anywhere now), and everyone pays a flat 50% fee. The old system, where long-time authors like us kept a bigger share, is gone.

Here's what that does to one $59 theme sale:

Customer pays $59
Envato takes a fixed $12 buyer fee → leaves $47
Before: we got about $41
Now: we get about $23.50

Same theme, same price for the buyer, but almost half of what we used to make.

And honestly, the per-sale cut isn't even the worst part. We raised our prices a bit to cover the new fee, and sales dropped hard. Compared to Jan, we're down more than 70%. Higher price + way more competition now that everyone's non-exclusive = fewer sales, each earning us less.

So we started selling straight from our own site instead — cheaper for the customer, more support, and we actually keep enough to keep building. It's early, but it's slowly picking up.

Curious how other authors are dealing with this. Are you going direct, staying on the marketplace, or leaving Envato? And for buyers — would you rather buy direct from the maker, or do you trust a marketplace checkout more?
