Food Menu solution, room booking solutions and launch of the Yorkshire Dales Food Network.

Create and manage food menus for your website.


As more and more of our clients are food related businesses, we have created an add on for our Octavian websites aimed specifically at chefs and restaurant owners. Our food menu solution can be switched on for any of the sites running on our servers and will allow chefs and restaurant owners to create and manage their own food menu without any specialised knowledge and from anywhere. This will be joined by our Room Booking solution for B&B's and hotels. The menu solution is free to all our clients and has the folowing features:
  • Create courses with any name, e.g. Main, Starter etc.
  • Add new dishes to each course.
  • Create pages to dsiplay each course.
  • Tag dishes with various properties, e.g. Chicken, Vegetarian, Contains Nuts etc.
  • Hide or Show dishes.
  • Re-order dishes on the page.
We will be adding this to our soon to be released, restaurant website theme, which will be specially pre-configured for restaurants, bistros, pubs and cafes where food is served.
