Overview
MenuPress gives a restaurant a website that reads as warm, characterful, and appetizing — a charcoal-and-ember palette, editorial headlines, and menus that feel like part of the room, with none of the stock-plated-food clichés. A hybrid Gutenberg theme, not a page-builder starter.
Everything a restaurant needs is modeled in native WordPress: menus, private dining & events, team, journal, and locations as first-class content types with shared taxonomies — no ACF, no Elementor, no third-party form plugin.
Reserving a table is the emphasized path with hours and location surfaced, and a governed events & hours page fails closed so a listing only shows verified when its source and reviewer are present.
Reserve a table
The emphasized path — a reservation form with real validation, plus hours and location in the header.
Governed events & hours
A listing only shows verified when its source and reviewer are present — hours are never stale by accident.
Private dining built in
Buyouts, celebrations, and catering as first-class content for the high-value enquiries.
Self-hosted fonts
Newsreader, Source Sans 3, and IBM Plex Mono served locally — zero Google-CDN calls, GDPR-friendly.
Accessible & translation-ready
WCAG 2.2 AA intent throughout, every string internationalized, escaped output and sanitized input.
