About this plugin
ARDOIZA gives a restaurant the three things guests ask for on its website, without any account or subscription:
A simple table reservation. Set your opening hours for each day, the slot length, the number of guests per slot and how far ahead guests may book. The “ARDOIZA Reservation” block or the [ardoiza_reservation] shortcode shows a form (date, time, guests, seating preference when your venue has a terrace, name, phone, email, comment, consent box).
Slots that are full or in the past are not offered. The restaurant receives the request by email, the guest receives an acknowledgement, and you confirm or refuse each request from the dashboard; the guest is notified by email. Requests can also be confirmed automatically when the slot has room.
An online menu with allergens. Create your sections (starters, mains, desserts) and your dishes with a name, a description, a photo, a price in euros, the 14 allergens of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 (cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, peanuts, soybeans, milk, nuts, celery, mustard, sesame seeds, sulphur dioxide and sulphites, lupin, molluscs), and the vegetarian and vegan mentions. Mark a dish as unavailable in one click.
Display the menu with the “ARDOIZA Menu” block or the [ardoiza_carte] shortcode. The layout is sober, readable on a phone, accessible (headings, lists, visible focus) and every colour is a CSS custom property your theme can override.
A QR code of your menu. From the dashboard, download the QR code that opens your menu page, as PNG (for printers) or SVG (for designers). The code is generated on your own site by a small encoder included in the plugin: nothing is sent to any third-party service.
Personal data. Reservations are the only personal data handled. They are stored in your own database, never shared, and exported or erased with the WordPress privacy tools (Tools, Export Personal Data / Erase Personal Data).
A retention period deletes old reservations automatically, and a suggested paragraph is added to the privacy policy guide. Light anti-spam protection is built in (security token, hidden trap field, minimum fill time, limits per address and per guest); no CAPTCHA and no external service.
What this plugin does not do. No online payment, no takeaway ordering, no deposit, no automatic reminders, no multi-restaurant management, no mobile notification. fr/, are separate products: this free plugin works fully on its own, does not require them, does not connect to them and does not show any advertising for them beyond one sentence and one link on its settings page.
Privacy and independence. org, no font or script loaded from a third party. Emails are sent with the standard WordPress mail function.
Privacy
The plugin stores reservation requests (date, time, party size, seating preference, name, phone, email, comment, consent time) in your database. It sends them by email to the restaurant address set in the settings and an acknowledgement to the guest. It registers a personal data exporter and eraser with the WordPress privacy tools, adds suggested text to the privacy policy guide and applies a configurable retention period.
Anti-abuse counters keep only salted hashes of the visitor address, email and phone, for one hour to one day. It does not set cookies, does not use third-party services and does not send any data outside your site.
