CacheDuration controls refresh frequency. For active dinner service, set short durations (a few minutes); for school lunches planned weeks ahead, longer durations are fine. Add a wp sleek-rank flush call when menus get edited mid-day so the URL reflects the change immediately.

Yes. Each course in the courses array carries a dietary array (vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free, halal, kosher). The list mapping renders class-bound badges per badge in the dietary array, so adding a new diet tag is a data change rather than a template change.

Yes. SleekRank injects mapped values through your active theme, page builder, or block library. Bricks, Elementor, Gutenberg, and custom themes all work without needing a dedicated menu-template renderer on top of WordPress.

Yes. Every /menu/{slug}/ URL lands in SleekRank's sitemap and the base WordPress page is auto-noindexed. Submit the sitemap once in Search Console; new menu days get crawled within hours of cache flush and rank for menu-today queries near the venue.

The base template stays consistent, but per-row variation lives in the data. A service-type field can selector-map distinct headers, and courses arrays differ in length per service. For radically different formats (a la carte versus prix fixe), run separate page groups against different base pages.

By default, past menus stay indexable as a historical archive (useful for return diners checking what they ate). Flip an archived flag on old rows to render a quieter "archived menu" banner, or delete rows outright and the URL returns 404 on the next cache cycle.

Each /menu/{slug}/ URL is keyed by date and venue, which produces enough natural differentiation. Themed days and per-day specials add further uniqueness. Keep templated chrome minimal and let the courses array carry most visible content; recurring weekly themes still produce distinct pages through the menu_date field.

Yes, through the REST API data source with custom auth headers. Configure the endpoint, point mappings at the response field names, and SleekRank renders menus from the upstream kitchen tool. Cache duration controls polling cadence so the POS does not get hit on every page view.
