Yatoon Restaurant Menu & Online Ordering

Yatoon Restaurant Menu & Online Ordering turns a WordPress restaurant website into a polished online ordering system without marketplace commissions.

Restaurants can publish a photo menu, accept pickup orders, manage kitchen tickets, send email confirmations, offer coupons, collect tips, support scheduled orders, and let customers create accounts for faster reorders. WooCommerce is not required.

This free edition is designed for independent restaurants that want a clean direct-ordering workflow and a simple dashboard their team can actually use during service.

Advanced payment gateways, SMS, delivery/dine-in, reports, QR tables, CSV export, loyalty, follow-up campaigns, and cloud print integrations are reserved for the paid edition. Customer accounts and checkout sign-in controls are included in the free edition.

WordPress 7.0 AI-ready ordering

Yatoon 3.0 works with the WordPress 7.0 AI Client when an AI provider is connected in WordPress Settings > Connectors. Customers can describe cravings, budget, group size, spice preference, or dietary notes, and AI suggests clickable dishes from the restaurant’s real menu.

• AI Food Assistant – customers describe what they want and AI recommends matching dishes
• Clickable recommendations – suggested dishes open the normal item modal so modifiers, quantity, stock, and checkout rules stay intact
• No plugin-owned AI billing – AI provider/API keys are managed by WordPress Connectors; usage costs depend on the site owner’s chosen AI provider
• Provider fallback – Yatoon prefers OpenAI/GPT first, then Google/Gemini, then Anthropic/Claude
• Compatibility-first – WordPress 6.9 and older keep the regular ordering flow; AI generation requires WordPress 7.0 AI Client support
