Why do restaurants have menus?

Why do restaurants have menus? 06/06/2004 09:39 AM

Just back from seeing the movie "Super-size Me" and it occurred to me that, in an age of limitedless wealth, cheap food, and universal private automobiles, nutrition is best not left to amateurs (i.e., us).  Consider the process of going to a restaurant.  You, a completely ignorant and probably somewhat fat person, walk in and they hand you a long menu of potential dishes.  For each dish the menu lists a tiny fraction of the ingredients but does not fully disclose sauces or overall calories.  Even if the content of each item were fully disclosed it wouldn't do most of us much good because most of us don't know how many calories are appropriate.  Finally there is the problem that everyone gets the same quantity of food.  If you're a 5'-tall woman and order "Chicken surprise" you get the same quantity of food as a 6'-tall man who orders the same dish.

Here's an idea for a restaurant...  You walk in and give them the following information:  (1) height, (2) weight, and (3) whether or not you have exercised today.  They come back to you with a few choices, e.g., "fish, chicken, steak, or vegetarian?"  You choose one of those and finally an appropriately-sized quantity of food shows up on your table.  This is, I think, how the $1000/day fat farms operate.  But in an age of computerization it doesn't seem as though it would cost a standard restaurant anything more to operate this way.

Thoughts?

[P.S.I went through a 3-month period in which I ate almost every meal at McDonalds.  This was in 1993 while driving to Alaska and back (see Travels with Samantha).  I was a graduate student and the 59-cent hamburgers, 99-cent chicken fajitas, and drive-thrus were hard to resist.  I was about 30 years old and a tiny bit pudgy when I started the trip.  I probably lost at least 5 lbs. during that period.  I didn't order fries or regular (sugar) Coke and I was riding my bike every few days.]

Tab to select menus in Mac browsers

Tab to select menus in Mac browsers 06/05/2005 11:57 PM
I have repeatedly finding myself turning to the otherwise unused Windows box on my desktop for filling in online forms. The primary reason has been the Tab behaviour in Web forms: on Windows, you can tab between text fields, menus, radio buttons, et al; on Safari/Firefox on Mac, you skip the menus entirely and have to reach for the mouse and click. And this contextual switch is costly.

Now apparently this is "fixed" by enabling System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Full keyboard access: "In windows and dialogs, press Tab to move the keyboard focus between: "Text boxes and lists only." Mea culpa.

I thought I'd clicked that long ago to no effect and a double-check finds that I was right. Despite the label "...and lists," it's only when you select "All controls" that tabbing to menus actually works in web forms. Mea culpa. Label culpa.

Le gal Services + Social Networking.... Posted Feb 27, 2004, 12:17 PM ET by Judith Meskill

Demir Barlas writes that Miller & Chevalier, a Washington, D.C. law firm, has installed Interface Software’s Social Networking system to connect their ~120 lawyers and professionals. Not likely bedfellows but the utilization of Interface’s solution has, according to Sturgis Sobin, chairman of the international department of Miller & Chevalier, created new business: “In the past year, we’ve had a couple of instances where the software identified an existing relationship we’d never have been aware of otherwise,” says Sobin. “One of those engagements generated more than a million dollars in new business.” A most practical application of Social Networking Services [The Social Software Weblog]

Marc's bit....

Yet another example of social networking as a feature, not a stand alone market.  Maybe eventually hopefully like soon enough some day folks will stop trying to ask "how do you make money from social networking" and instead will say "what can I use social networking for?"

In other words - as danah likes to say - What's the Context?

Nick Rigby presents a way to handle this common navigation element with a cleanly structured XHTML list, straightforward CSS, and only a few concessions to browser quirks.
