Recommendations of software development

How can a prototype of an electronic menu (e-menu) application be developed for the casual

dining restaurant industry to meet business requirements?

Potential outcomes

Data collection by direct observation and

group interviews

E-menu system, software usability & HCI (Human-computer interaction), Software

development methodologies, and e-menu on iOS or Android devices.

Users are satisfied the prototype

System (data) analysis and design

mainly based on UML Techniques

Software development methodology is rapid application development (RAD)
