A block theme for restaurants, taverns and seafood houses: the menu at the centre, with prices, dishes, opening hours and a table always ready for a booking.

== Description ==

Faro Mesa puts the menu where it belongs: in the middle. Four popular dishes in a grid, the full menu in two columns with dotted leaders and prices, a dish of the week, reviews, a dark band for group meals, events and a booking block with the phone and WhatsApp always in sight.

* Six colour schemes (Ember, Olive, Wine, Marine, Stone and Night), all switchable from the Site Editor.
* Oswald and Mulish, bundled with the theme: no request to Google.
* No JavaScript, no CDN, no third-party requests.
* Patterns for every section, all editable.
* Diet tags on every dish (V, VG, GF, DF) with a legend, and a print stylesheet that turns the menu into a clean A4 page.
* A page header that takes the featured image of the page as its background, so every page of the menu can carry its own photo.
* Works on its own: no plugin required.

== Installation ==

1. In your admin panel, go to Appearance > Themes and click Add New.
2. Upload the faro-mesa.zip file and activate.
3. Edit the front page with the Site Editor and change the texts and photos.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does it need any plugin? =
No. The theme works with WordPress alone. The menu is written with the included patterns.

= Can I change the colours? =
Yes: Site Editor > Styles > Browse styles. Six palettes included, and you can also pick your own colours.

= Can I translate it? =
Yes. Every string in the patterns uses the faro-mesa text domain. The demo texts are in English; the photos and the texts are yours to change.

== Privacy ==

Faro Mesa does not collect, store or send any personal data. It makes no requests to external servers: the fonts, the images and the styles are served from your own site. There is no tracking, no analytics and no cookie of its own.
