Problem Statement
Motivation:
Ordering food at a restaurant is an arcane process, often leading to huge-lag times, inefficient decision making, and food-choice confusion. Customers of various age groups and demographics are confused over food choices, not sure what an item contains or looks like, and want to know more about what past customers have said about a particular dish. Waiters are frustrated that customers are not sure what to order and aren’t specific enough with their tastes. Finally, managers are left with a poorly-managed situation where both frustrated waiters, and indecisive customers clash, and business potentially declines.
Potential:
We want to create a mobile-enabled web application that makes it easy for customers to understand what exactly they are ordering, what a restaurant has to offer and what cuisine choices a restaurant is most suited toward. We want to remove the source of frustration for customers, waiters and managers alike. We want to construct the next-generation interactive menu to disrupt the archaic restaurant relic.
