What to change first

Replace the fictional Forty Two lunch counter name, dishes, prices and service hours. Set the button destination to your ordering information; the sample does not collect payment.

Core blocks only. No script, custom CSS, font file or required plugin.

The signature moment

The short menu hangs from one oversized order number

The left-hand order number is the largest element; a small lunch offer sits beneath it. The taller menu slip hangs from the same top rule, with a dotted foot and a plain total. The order marker precedes the menu on a phone.

Theme handoff

What comes from where

From your theme

The Core payload uses the theme’s base and contrast chains, currentColor rules, its typefaces and heading ladder. Text is intended for 4.5:1 contrast, or 3:1 at large display sizes; the rendered checks measure the actual pairs. Headings and links follow the root painter. The inherited Core payload is the theme route for this composition.

Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast

What it inherits from your theme

The Core payload uses the theme’s base and contrast chains, currentColor rules, its typefaces and heading ladder. Text is intended for 4.5:1 contrast, or 3:1 at large display sizes; the rendered checks measure the actual pairs. Headings and links follow the root painter. The inherited Core payload is the theme route for this composition.

Display type

The order number uses clamp(6rem, 13vw, 13rem), because its scale is the composition. Receipt labels and prices use 15px; dish descriptions take medium. The lunch offer uses the heading ladder.

Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints

The Styled look

Cream ground #FFF3DC, aubergine-black ink #35252E and aubergine accent #67334D; Georgia dishes and headings with Courier New receipt labels and a square aubergine ordering button. Every button is deliberately filled or underlined, with its own padding. The root states a 400 body weight.

Questions

Menu counter slip: common questions

Does Menu counter slip 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 Menu counter slip match my theme?

Choose by variation. Order number and slip takes your theme’s palette; Cream and aubergine brings its own colours.

How many variations does Menu counter slip have?

2: Order number and slip and Cream and aubergine. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy.

Is Menu counter slip free?

It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 62 Core Patterns are free to copy without one.

Which WordPress version does it need?

Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0 to 7.1. 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

11KB of core-block markup, 7 blocks (button, buttons, column, columns, group, heading, paragraph), and nothing else: paste it into the block editor and it becomes editable blocks wearing your theme.
