Abstract
A method for implementing a customizable interactive menu system with user interaction data analysis capability by executing computer-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium is a digital replacement for paper restaurant menus with a customizable menu layout. The menu layout mimics traditional paper menus, displaying a plurality of menu pages on a personal computing device, including a menu start page, at least one menu items page, at least one advertisement page, and a menu end page. Users may select items on a menu items page or an advertisement page, and all user interactions are recorded and later analyzed with data mining and pattern recognition algorithms to produce sorted interaction data and layout suggestions, which the restaurant owner or manager may use to customize and optimize the menu layout.
