Installation
You can Install Restaurant theme by using following 2 ways:
- Install with quickstart. (Recommended)
- Install this theme normally after you already have Joomla installed and ready to go.
1.Installation of Quick start Package:
What is QuickStart
Quickstart package is a full website package that includes: templates, extensions, database, images ... and once you install the quickstart successfully, you will have a complete website that is exactly same as our Demo.
Extract the quickstart zip package in your website root. This is either public_html or www in the hosted servers.
If you have installed XAMPP or MAMP or WAMP, you will have to extract this into the httpdocs folder
After the extraction, point your browser to url of the public root or the folder where you extracted. Example: Let us say, you have created a folder called Restaurant under the public_html folder (called your web root) . Then you extracted the zip inisde the restaurant folder.
In that case, your site url would be: http://www.yourdomain.com/restaurant Or if you installed in the localhost, then your url will be: http://localhost/restaurant
This will bring up an Installation wizard.
The QuickStart package cannot be installed through the Joomla Extension Manager.
2. Stand alone template installation:
If you already have an existing Joomla site and want to apply restaurant template, you have to install the following packages listed below:
- Restaurant Template
- And few other extensions you will find under required_extensions.zip Folder.

Layout - Module Positions
The following screenshot highlights the main layout module positions that we used in the Restaurant template. By using Layout Builder in Helix Ultimate, you're able to move positions or even change their sizes in the grid based on Bootstrap 4. Our in-built layout builder from template settings provides you the opportunity to add new positions, columns, and rows wherever you need and to move the elements as much as you want. More information & tips inside Helix Ultimate Manual.
Presets Settings
The Presets tab gives you the ability to quickly and easily configure color settings related to the appearance of the Restaurant template. This includes being able to switch between pre-configured presets and custom color sets. by default Restaurant comes with 8 color Presets which allows you to choose one color style. The Preset Selector gives users the ability to quickly switch between Presets, used for whole template style, with a pre-designed color palette and style settings.
SP Pagebuilder
By using Sp Page builder you can easily create any type of sections in your website. we have used SP Pagebuilder in our Restaurant template. best thing in sp page builder is we can edit content in front end as well. this will help you to finish the customization work faster
