online services.
Negative influences
 There is not any description of the images provided that can manipulate the users
to buy the product without knowing exact ingredients and materials used for the
developed product.
 The users might feel very useless when they notice that the recipe of the food has
not been introduced in the webpage
 The users have to visit the menu or home page if they want to go back which
increases complexity of the users.
Reasons behind recommendation for this app
The users have been currently needing a platform from where they can utilize the services
through just one click and wants to avail all the services through sitting at home. The application
will allow the users to be directly connected with the restaurant without any mediator and chose
whatever they want to and book the foods and tables in any restaurant online. Mobile devices are
available to almost every user being targeted and this will allow the organization to cover a large
sector of the customers.
