Exercise 1 (Bin Bao)

I had a lunch in Soul Garden this Monday. It is not surprising that having lunch in a non-fastfood restaurant is quite different from having a dinner, especially when the restaurant provides a Lunch Special menu. People tend to order from that special menu, because the food is usually cheaper and faster. When designing a menu system for our assignment, I will not consider this special case, unless have extra time to extend it.
Based on the experiences my friends and I have, I plan to target my system to a Chinese restaurant. In terms of biases, I have the following items in my mind:
1. Most of my friends are just graduate students, who are probably sensitive to the price.
2. As a guy, I think most guys are more interested in ordering meat.
3. People like to ask their friends for suggestions when ordering.
4. People like to order the recommended food from the menu.
5. People like to order food with pictures.
