RE-INVENT THE MUNDANE
Unloved, unnoticed things in our everyday lives hold potential for significantinnovation
RE-INVENT THE MUNDANE
Restaurant menu:Mundane and unchanged
"
Inspired by the Nest thermostat, 2 years ago I started to think about re-inventing menus.Menu is an everyday tool that hasn't changed in 100 years, and is rather ineffective! 9 out of 10 people need help with their menu: asking waiters "what's popular?", looking to other tables or looking up pictures on Yelp to see what dishes look like, ...Over the past 2 years, this evolved into a bigger question....
"
What should I eat next?
This is mankind's oldest question
