In reply to Justin Tadlock.

Thanks for replying, Justin. I sent a message through the contact form on your site ages ago, so I guess it just went down some rabbit hole for spam. I probably should have followed it up more. Wish I'd found that GitHub repository earlier. Must not have looked properly.

1) I guess with the display and layout issues, I was referring more to the backend interface a user would interact with. I'm sceptical that the default taxonomy interface is intuitive and easy for an end-user wishing to construct a menu. But this is a broader issue. I'll spend some more time digging into your setup to see how easy it is to manage the menu.

2) I certainly appreciate the need to have a robust free solution. And I don't think restaurants are a large enough niche for there to be much profit in the nickle-and-dime approach to addons. For me, it's just a question of market access. If I invest time into a plugin, I want to be sure that that plugin is discoverable for its target audience. Otherwise it's useless for me. (We don't all have profitable theme clubs. ;) ).

Unless there's anything you want to reply to here, I'll move any future questions/comments to the GitHub tracker.
