## 🛠️ Technical Foundation 

Redboa is built using modern WordPress standards to ensure it stays fast and secure: 

* **Elementor Builder:** Every page is drag-and-drop. You can change your "Chef's Specials" or "Steak of the Month" without touching a line of code. 
* **Redux Framework:** Uses the powerful Redux options panel, giving you deep control over global colors, 600+ Google Fonts, and header styles. 
* **Bootstrap 4/5:** Built on the latest CSS framework for a "Mobile-First" grid system. 
* **SEO Optimized:** The code is lightweight and structured to help your restaurant rank for local keywords like "best steakhouse near me."

## 🚀 The Redboa Setup Blueprint 

To get your restaurant online quickly, follow this implementation path: 

1. **Installation:** Upload the `redboa.zip` via your WordPress dashboard. 
2. **Required Plugins:** Upon activation, Redboa will ask you to install **Elementor**, **Contact Form 7**, and the **Redux Framework**. 
3. **The Demo Import:** Use the "One-Click Import" feature to bring in the steakhouse styling. **Tip:** This will replace your current homepage, so do this on a fresh installation. 
4. **The Menu Setup:** Use the "Food Menu" section to input your dishes. Group them by categories like "Signature Cuts," "Sides," and "Cellar Selection." 
5. **Location & Hours:** Don't forget to update the footer with your Google Maps location and operating hours, as these are the most-searched details for restaurants.

## 💡 Strategy for 2026 

* **Visual "Sizzle":** Use Elementor’s video background feature for the hero section. A 5-second loop of a steak on a grill (the "sizzle") is the most effective way to trigger an immediate appetite in your visitors. 
* **Instagram Feed:** Use a free plugin to pull your Instagram feed into the Redboa footer. Real-time photos of happy diners and fresh plates build more trust than professional stock photos alone. 
* **Online Ordering:** If you offer takeaway, Redboa is **WooCommerce ready.** You can easily add a "Order for Pickup" feature to your menu items. 
* **Gift Cards:** Use the shop functionality to sell digital gift cards. This is a massive revenue stream for steakhouses, especially during holiday seasons.

## ⚙️ Requirements 

* **WordPress:** 6.0 or higher. 
* **PHP:** 7.4 or 8.x (Recommended for faster page loads). 
* **Memory Limit:** Ensure your hosting has at least **256M** to handle the Elementor editor smoothly.
