I can’t believe people think that all plugins that are free can’t have a paid version with more options … I use the free version for many sites for many years and it’s responsive, it’s fantastic and it’s easy to use … Sincerely, Ocala Website Designs LLC

One of the best ways for restaurants to manage their menus and brand.

Another pay plugin that does not clearly state that you need to open your wallet in order to use it’s full potential. Works ok, you can create menus… free, but no images can be inserted, no icons can be uploaded in free version. It costs $240/yr at the moment to get the “upgraded” version. I wonder why they show the thumbnails and nice images functionality in the screenshots if that is actually NOT included…
