About FoodNotix
From the official readme · v1.6.4Description
FoodNotix transforms WordPress into an operational control center for your kitchen or counter.
It is designed specifically for butcher shops, delis, bakeries, pizzerias, and takeaway businesses that need to simultaneously manage:
1. Free-Form Manual Orders: Unbound from rigid product databases. Type custom fillings, variations, or special requests directly into orders just like a physical paper pad (e.g. “stuffed roast with spinach & ricotta”).
2. Automatic Customer Email Confirmation: Instantly emails a summary to the customer upon publishing so they can verify their order details.
3. WooCommerce Sync & KDS (PRO Extension): Optional automated import from WooCommerce web orders and touch-friendly Kitchen Display System (KDS).
Main Features:
- 100% Free-Text Order Entry: No need to pre-build a product catalog or database. Type any custom request effortlessly.
-
Automatic Client Notifications: Sends a confirmation email to the client on booking creation, with optional manual resend on edit.
-
Hybrid Management: Unifies phone and web orders into a single list.
- Smart WooCommerce Sync: Automatically imports orders from your site, also supporting the “Sequential Order Numbers Pro” plugin to maintain real numbering.
- KDS (Kitchen Display System): Specific interface for the kitchen, viewable on Tablet/TV via the
[foodnotix_lab]shortcode. - Courier Priority 🚚: Automatically recognizes shipping orders and places them at the top of the list in the Laboratory, highlighting them in green to ensure maximum priority.
- “Taking Charge” System ✋: Allows staff to signal colleagues that they are working on an order (orange “In Progress” status), avoiding duplication in large teams.
- Visual Agenda: Integrated calendar with Monthly, Weekly, and Daily views.
- PDF Printing: Generates clean order sheets and production lists for the staff.
Installation
- Upload the
foodnotixfolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory of your site, or upload the .zip file directly from the WordPress Plugins panel. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
