]]> I’ve recently begun development on a new plugin for WordPress that will be useful to restaurant owners.  I’m going to call it Daily Specials. I found a website today that allows you to list your menu and output it to almost any development environment.  In fact, they already have an official WordPress plugin. The only thing it doesn’t do is add the ability to have a daily special.  What if I want to feature my tri tip grilled steak on Tuesday evenings from 4PM-8PM for only $10?  How do I show this on my page?  Do I just write an article about it?  What if I feature this every Tuesday? What if I have a new special everyday that runs for weeks at a time?

The Answer:

A custom plugin called Daily Specials.  I’ll be working on the details this weekend, and I’ll probably release it by the beginning of October.  Check back to get your copy.

Update:

I have just recently finished a stable version of this plugin and am now making it available to the public. Hopefully, it will soon be hosted on wordpress.org plugins repository. But until then, here’s version 1.0

This plugin does more than just a widget. It also allows for shortcode insertion of the Daily Specials into a post or page. It’s still early in production, so I don’t have much documentation. If you need to know how to use it, just ask. I’ll add documentation in the coming weeks.

Update

I have finally finished it! Download link is here.
