so, I started off with a more traditional menu--probably because it is what seemed more natural. I created tabs for different pages instead of having the menu scroll. each tab would be named with a category head for each of the spreads of dishes. I also wanted a way for special options to stand out. here I had them have a different background from the rest of the menu in order to create contrast. Finally, the most interesting part of this menu was that you could drag and drop dishes onto a meal timeline to indicate when you want different dishes served.
this next picture tries to highlight different ways to browse a menu. it differentiates with different tabs. the tab shown is the search. it allows you to create lists of ingredients you are interested in and lists of allergens/ingredients you are not interested in. also, there is a considerations list along the side that allows one to drag and drop different dishes onto this list so that one can decide which they want at a later point in time.
finally, here is my last menu. the left panel has the same considerations list that was present in the previous example with the addition of a random selection button. this button allows for one dish in the considerations list to be randomly added to the "receipt" list the center is a list which resembles a more traditional menu. the upper right panel has a place where one may limit the visible menu by different criterium (ingredient desired, allergens, course, et al). finally the lower right panel is the "receipt" list of elements that are to be ordered--with an order button.
