The signature moment
Ordering for an office or party: three steps with lead times ("48 hours", "the day before", "collect at 8") as the large figures, a short price note, one button
The figures are the times to remember: 48 hours, the day before, collect at 8. Each step hangs from a heavy rule with a small label above its lead time at display size, then what happens and a line of detail. The steps are three columns on a laptop and a tablet and stack on a phone; a plate at the foot gives the starting price on its own line and one button.

The Crumb look
Part of the Crumb Pattern Set, one café's whole site in one design language: oat ground #f4ecdf, espresso ink #2b1d16, muted cocoa #5c4a3f, milk cards #fbf7f0 on oat hairlines #dccfbf, terracotta #b3462d labels and peach #e8a27c on the espresso slab. Headings are Georgia at 400, body, labels and buttons Helvetica; buttons are espresso pills or underlined links, cards and photographs rounded at 14px. Every text pair is measured on the ground it is painted on. Take the base for your theme's colours, or the look's Use my theme chip.
Notes
- Core blocks only: group, heading, paragraph, buttons, button. No plugin, nothing to keep updated.
- The root group sets headings and links to
currentColor, so every heading, paragraph and link inherits the group's text colour in any theme; only role-bearing text (labels, rules, plates) carries its own chain.
Questions
Catering order steps: common questions
Does Catering order steps need a plugin?
No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (button, buttons, column, columns, group, heading and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install.
Will Catering order steps match my theme?
Choose by variation. Lead times takes your theme’s palette; Crumb brings its own colours.
How many variations does Catering order steps have?
2: Lead times and Crumb. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy.
Is Catering order steps free?
It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 56 Core Patterns are free to copy without one.
Which WordPress version does it need?
Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type.
The markup
Core block markup and nothing else. Copy it, then paste it straight into the block editor: WordPress reads the delimiters and rebuilds the blocks.
