Question 1

What accessibility feature should digital restaurant menus include for visually impaired users?

Accepted Answer

Text-to-speech compatibility with proper ARIA labels

Answer

ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) labels allow screen readers to interpret digital menu elements, enabling visually impaired users to navigate and order independently.

Question 2

What is a 'ghost kitchen' digital menu design challenge that differs from traditional restaurant menu design?

Accepted Answer

The menu lives entirely on third-party delivery platforms with limited design control

Answer

Ghost kitchens operate exclusively through delivery apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats, where the platform controls the layout, leaving designers with limited control over photography, fonts, and categorization.

Question 3

In digital menu UX, 'progressive disclosure' means:

Accepted Answer

Showing basic information first with details available on demand (tap to expand)

Answer

Progressive disclosure presents summary-level information (item name, price, brief description) by default, with full details (ingredients, allergens, nutrition) revealed on user interaction to reduce cognitive load.

Question 4

What technology allows a digital tablet menu to show real-time item availability (86'd items) without manual staff updates?

Accepted Answer

POS system API integration

Answer

Integrating the digital menu with the restaurant's POS system via API allows inventory depletion events to automatically hide or gray out sold-out items in real time.

Question 5

What is the recommended image resolution for food photography displayed on a high-DPI (Retina) tablet menu screen?

Accepted Answer

144 PPI or 2× the display resolution

Answer

Retina and high-DPI displays render at 2× or 3× pixel density, requiring images at 144 PPI or higher to appear sharp rather than pixelated.
