Stolik – Modern Restaurant Menu & QR Code

Stolik helps restaurants publish a beautiful, touchless, multilingual menu with multiple templates and per-language styling. Each language (locale) has its own menu page and shortcode, so you can offer a native experience for international guests.

Features a powerful Excel/CSV import tool with smart category mapping to easily migrate your existing menu.

A built-in QR generator links guests directly to the menu page and offers a polished admin experience with live preview, caching, and scan statistics. Optional auto-locale redirect sends guests to the best matching published language.

Key Features

• 🌍 Native RTL & Multilingual Support: Perfect for Hebrew (he_IL), Arabic (ar_*), Persian (fa_IR), and Urdu (ur_PK). Frontend layout mirrors automatically with proper text direction.
• 💱 Intelligent Currency Formatting: Auto-detects currency symbol position (prefix/suffix) based on locale standards (e.g., „$10“ vs „10EUR“ vs „NIS 10“).
• Multiple Templates: Default, Dark, Modern, Elegant, and Minimal templates with per-language overrides.
• Per-Language Styling: Tune colors, fonts, and featured item styles for each locale. Reset to template defaults any time.
• Translation Mode: Safely translate item names, descriptions, categories, and system labels without changing the menu structure.
• Smart Categorization: Automatic grouping for uncategorized items („Other Dishes“) with translation support.
• QR Code Generator: Generate QR codes with live preview, built-in caching, and file rotation.
• Scan Statistics: Track basic scan performance (total, today, last 7 days) to understand customer traffic.
• Auto-Locale Redirect: Optionally route QR scans to the visitor’s browser language automatically.
• Language Selector: Optional badges on the menu for base language and the extra locale in Free.
• Mobile Search Dock (Free): Sticky search bar on mobile (<=900px) that filters dishes by name, description, category name, and allergens with diacritic-tolerant matching.
• Privacy Focused: No external tracking pixels, no API calls to 3rd party servers. Everything runs on your WordPress.

Accessibility & Performance

• Accessible Admin: Keyboard focus retention for sortable categories, clear ARIA labels, and safe copy buttons.
• Optimized Performance: Styles are loaded only when needed, with per-locale CSS variables that allow multiple locales on one page. QR codes are cached efficiently to minimize server load.

Developer Friendly

• Clean Code: Built with modern PHP standards and clear architecture.
• Scoped CSS Variables: Templates consume CSS variables only, making customization stable and theme-friendly.
• I18n Ready: Full support for .pot files and standard WordPress localization.

Privacy Policy

Stolik can load Google Fonts from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com when a Google font is selected in the style settings. This may transmit the visitor’s IP address to Google. If you prefer not to use external font requests, choose a system font or a custom font in the plugin settings. Stolik does not send menu content or personal data to Google Fonts.
