The research framework outlines a process to develop a prototype electronic menu application for casual dining restaurants. It involves reviewing literature on e-menu systems, usability, and mobile development. Requirements will be gathered through direct observation and interviews then analyzed using UML techniques. A prototype will be developed using rapid application development and evaluated based on user satisfaction and perception. Recommendations will be made regarding the software development methodology.
