Feed Your Reef sells live, dry, and frozen fish food to marine hobbyists. They used our WooCommerce Lead Time plugin to give lead times on hatched to order fish food and general dry good dispatch times.

How our plugin solved their problem

Feed Your Reef needed an easy way to give lead times on certain fish food products. This way, they could let customers know when the product would be ready for dispatch before they place their order.

When a customer lands on the single product page, they can see the lead time for the product along with other product details and purchasing options. If a product is available, it shows the number of units available in stock and Lead Time: Ready for dispatch. However, if the product is available on back-order, then it says Available on back-order | Lead Time: Ready for dispatch in 2 days.

Customers can then use the quantity selector to enter the number of units they’d like to purchase and place their order.

According to Jason Smith, the WooCommerce Lead Time plugin has easy-to-follow documentation and good configuration options. They followed our lead time tutorial to set it up on their own online store.

Old Farmhouse Takeaway is an online takeaway and delivery service. They sells traditional home-cooked food and beverages as well as restaurant gift vouchers. They used our WooCommerce Restaurant Ordering plugin to list food items and restaurant gift vouchers in a menu-like layout on their website.

How our plugin solved their problem

Old Farmhouse Takeaway needed a simple way to sell traditional home-cooked food and beverages with add-ons through their website. They were looking for a solution that would let customers place their orders as quickly as possible.

“At the end of the day, it’s all about reducing clicks, swipes, and taps when the service is designed to be quick and friendly.”

When a patron lands on the menu page, they can click the (+) icon next to the food items, beverages, or gift vouchers they’d like to purchase. If the item is a simple product, it’s automatically added to the customer’s cart. However, if the item has add-ons or variations, a lightbox appears prompting customers to choose their options such as burger toppings.

For example, when a customer adds the 'Battered Halloumi Burger' to their cart, they’re given the option to select add-ons. Customers can select as many options as they’d like. Since each add-on costs extra, the price of the food item is updated in real-time. Customers can also set the quantity selector from the lightbox.

The menu is split up into multiple categories including Roast Dinners, Sides, Burgers, Sunday Mains, Puddings, Beverages, Kids Meals, and Gift Vouchers.

The WooCommerce Restaurant Ordering plugin creates a menu-style layout of food items. Each food item displays the food’s title, price, and (+) icon that functions as the add to cart button. Restaurant gift vouchers are added in a similar way.

Once customers are done adding items to their menu, they can view their cart and place their order.
