FW Food Menu – Documentation
Welcome to FW Food Menu
FW Food Menu is a Joomla extension that lets you publish a fully-featured restaurant menu (with prices, allergens, ordering) on your Joomla site. This Getting Started guide walks you through everything from downloading the package to creating your first meal, usually in under 30 minutes from a fresh install.
What's Included
Your FW Food Menu subscription gives you the core component plus a curated set of add-ons that extend it. The main installation package contains:
- FW Food Menu component: the engine, admin UI, and frontend views
- Admin module: quick-access link from the Joomla main menu
- Default design plugin: ready-to-use frontend styling so meals display correctly out of the box
Everything else (extra layouts, advanced features, integrations) lives in the Add-ons panel inside the component admin. You install what you need, when you need it. Add-ons cover layout columns/grids, tab/cascading category navigation, allergens and ingredients, badges, prices and modifiers, online ordering and delivery, SEO Booster, and Stripe/PayPal payments.
Where to Go From Here
This guide is sequential. Follow the sections in order:
- Download Your Files: find your package in the Client Section
- Install on Joomla: upload and activate the extension
- Activate Your License: verify the site so updates and add-ons unlock
- Create Your First Meal: a guided walkthrough
- Common Tasks: jump straight to specific topics once you're set up
If you get stuck, every section links to deeper reference pages, and you can always reach out via the support area in your Client Section.
