Luntsi – Lunch Menu

Luntsi is made for lunch restaurants. Write the week’s lunch once and your site shows the right day every day, without anyone remembering to update it.

Made in Finland for the lounas, lounaslista and ruokalista (Swedish: lunchmeny, dagens lunch ) of Finnish lunch restaurants, and it works for any daily lunch menu, such as the Spanish menú del día: one fixed price, what it includes, and a supplement on a single dish.

• Today’s lunch and the whole week. Show today’s (or tomorrow’s) lunch on the front page and the whole week on the lunch page.

• Old menus hide themselves. A saved week appears on its own week and disappears when it is over. On weekends the week view switches to next week as soon as it is published.

• Never shows yesterday’s lunch from a cache. The views pick the right day in the visitor’s browser, so page caches and CDNs cannot serve an old day.

• Fast to write. One dish per line, diet markings in parentheses: Pea soup (L, G). A dish can have its own price or, on a fixed-price menu, a supplement at the end of the line: Salmon soup (L, G) 12,50 €, Entrecôte +3 €. “Copy previous week” fills the week from last week’s menu.

• Public holidays built in (Finland and Spain). Good Friday, Midsummer, Christmas and the rest are marked closed automatically for the country you choose. Any single holiday can be opened, and any other day closed.

• Meat origin. Show the origin country of meat, which restaurants in Finland are required to display in writing.

• Diet markings. L, VL, M, G, K and VE out of the box (SG, SL, V and VG on a site in a language of Spain), editable.

• A role for the kitchen. The “Lunch editor” role can edit the lunch menu and nothing else.

• Works everywhere. Native Divi 5 modules (with live preview in the Visual Builder), Elementor widgets with style controls, blocks for the block editor, and the [luntsi] shortcode for any other theme or page builder.

• Image for Facebook and Instagram. One click turns the week’s menu into a ready image (A4 for Facebook, 4:5 for Instagram) with your logo and colour. On a phone the image goes straight to the share sheet. Made in the browser: no external service.

• Search engines understand it. The week is published as schema.org Menu data.

• Accessible. The views and the editor are tested against WCAG 2.2 AA with axe-core.

• Private. No external services, no tracking, no cookies. The font for the image ships with the plugin.

• In English, with Finnish and Swedish coming through translate.wordpress.org.
