Add the title of the brand/restaurant

Portal – Store ID (PRID)
This is the unique store id that can be found on the Flipdish portal. To find this value log in to the portal and do the following.

Click on stores on the left side panel.

For the Ordering link, you will need to add a link to the collection for the specific brand/restaurant you are adding.
You will be able to see the embed for this WordPress website by going to the order page
For example yourdomainname.com/order
The ordering link is the collection/pickup link for the specific restaurant.
An example would be: https://www.pizzacafe.net/order?l=en-US#/restaurant/9168/collection/8333

Below you can assign a cuisine to this brand/restaurant (you can select more then one)

If a cuisine is required & not added the options you can add a new cuisine by clicking add new category typing in the name & then click the button add new category

The next thing required is to add an image for the brand/restaurant. This can be done via the “Featured Image” option (the recommended size for this image is 400 by 284 pixels)

You can click on “Set featured image” & then select files to upload your image to the site.

All of the above settings set the grid on the homepage

About Us Section

The image below shows an example of the About Us section. It is a short description for each brand/restaurant. It is specifically tailored to boost the SEO ranking of the site.

Switch to the About Us section. This can be done by clicking on the About Us tab.

This is the About Us section. It has a Short and Long description, and space for several images.

In the about us short add a short text description. Ideally no more than 150 characters. This will also be used for the meta description for the website.

In the about us long you can add a long description. We would recommend using at least 300 words as this will boost your SEO ranking.

The logo is the suggested location for the logo of the brand, but you may prefer to use a different image (the recommended size here is 440 by 312 pixels)

This is the main image on the brand/restaurant page (recommended 1200 by 800 pixels)

These images are for the small Gallery next to the about text (again the recommended size for these images is 1200 by 800 pixels

The final image required is the image the sits next to the about text so the longer the text the more of the image shows. The recommended size for this image is 668 by 1000 pixels

To publish your new brand/restaurant you need to click “publish” button

SEO Settings

The default SEO settings can be overridden by using Yoast, the plugin used for SEO descriptions on the website. Each page and restaurant have a section titled ‘Yoast’.

This will show you the preview of what the google search result will look like and allow you to edit this accordingly.
