AXOLYON Menu & Reservations

AXOLYON Menu & Reservations is a digital menu plugin for restaurants with support for EU food allergen compliance. Built around EU Regulation 1169/2011 on mandatory allergen information, it also ships optional modules for Japanese (Food Labeling Act), US (FALCPA), Canadian (CFIA), Brazilian (ANVISA), Australian (FSANZ), South Korean (MFDS) and Argentinian allergen labelling.

Publish a mobile-first digital menu with a Gutenberg block, a shortcode or an Elementor widget. Generate a QR code for your tables. Accept reservations online.

org markup so search engines understand your menu. All of that with zero coding.

Allergen compliance across regions

• 14 EU mandatory allergens — full coverage of Regulation 1169/2011 with official SVG icons, accessible tooltips and a contains / traces ternary model. Free.

• 12 exclusive Japanese allergens — soba, crab, shrimp, peach, salmon, squid, salmon roe (ikura), beef, pork, chicken, cashew and matsutake mushroom. Required under the Japanese Food Labeling Act. Pro.

• 5 international allergens mapped to 6 country-specific regulations — triticale (Canada CFIA), latex (Brazil ANVISA), kiwi (Brazil ANVISA + Argentina ANMAT), tomato (South Korea MFDS), propolis / royal jelly (Australia & New Zealand FSANZ). USA FALCPA is already a subset of the EU 14. Pro.

Smart dietary labels

• Vegan and Gluten-free — deduced automatically from the allergens declared on each dish (no dairy, eggs, fish, crustaceans or molluscs → vegan; no gluten → gluten-free), with a manual override for edge cases. Free.

• Halal and Kosher — manual certification per dish, with optional certification body (JAKIM, HMC, IFANCA, HIQ) and certificate number. Pro.

The automatic deduction of Vegan and Gluten-free works from the declared allergens: the restaurant owner only has to mark what’s on the plate and the dietary labels update themselves.

Online reservations

• Reservation form via shortcode [axolyon_mc_reservas] or Gutenberg block. Free.

• Email notification to the restaurant owner on every submission. Free.

• Simple admin list of reservations, filterable by date and status. Free.

• Token-based reservation confirmation (the customer confirms by clicking a secure link). Pro.

• Advanced admin panel: FullCalendar view, confirm/cancel from the list, CSV export with anti-injection protection, per-timeslot guest limits. Pro.

International languages

The plugin ships with 8 language files: English (US), French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), Japanese and Korean. Spanish is the source language and is always available.

In the Free version, the interface is shown in Spanish regardless of the WordPress locale. Pro unlocks automatic translation to the site language, so a WordPress site in French will see the plugin in French, a Japanese site in Japanese, and so on.

Developer-friendly

• Full REST API with 6 endpoints (plato upsert, plato availability, reservation lookup by external id, reservation status update, reservation link, loyalty credit). Pro.

• Native integration with Bar Manager (real-time sync of menu, prices and reservations). Pro.
