What it does
Restaurant websites need to answer a few practical questions fast: what's on the menu, what the place looks like, and what's coming up. This theme is designed around those needs. It includes a menu display for food and drink items with descriptions and images, plus sections for events, special deals and seasonal menus. The layouts are responsive, so pages adapt to desktops, tablets and smartphones, which matters when many guests check a menu on their phone.
Customization happens through an options panel where you can adjust colors, fonts, layouts and content without writing code. For extra functionality, the theme works with other plugins. It is compatible with WooCommerce for online ordering or merchandise sales, supports popular booking plugins for table reservations, and works with translation plugins if you serve guests in more than one language. Documentation is included to help you set things up.
Best for
- Cafes and bistros wanting a modern menu-focused website

Questions about Reston

Yes. Reston is compatible with WooCommerce, so you can set up online ordering or sell merchandise from your site. You would add WooCommerce yourself and configure your products, and the theme handles the presentation.
