Enhancing Restaurant Dining Experience: Design and Evaluation of a Mobile App for Personalized Menu Item Selection in Restaurants
Abstract
Picking the right food item from a restaurant menu can be challenging for people, specially for those who are unfamiliar with local cuisine and those with specific dietary requirements. Existing menus often lack essential information, making it difficult for diners to make quick and confident decisions. In this paper, we propose a mobile app that offers a user-friendly interface to allows users rank menu items based on their preferences and concerns. Using personalized ranking algorithms, the app analyzes the ingredients and nutritional content of menu items, providing users with valuable information to make informed choices. Preliminary tests suggest that the app is easy to use and effective in providing relevant information to users. Overall, the proposed system has the potential to improve the dining experience of individuals with various dietary needs and preferences.
