Easy Steps to Use Divi Restro Menu plugin


Before we move on the steps to design restaurant menus make sure you’ve successfully installed and activated the plugin. Once sure, we’re ready to dive into our food menu creation process. However, if you’re finding it hard to install this plugin, then you can visit the plugin’s documentation page.

Easy Step 1: Creating Preview Restaurant Menu A

To display items on a restaurant menu, first, we need to create food items and categories with proper information. And to do so, go to Restro Menu custom post type in your WordPress dashboard created by the plugin.
