Submission date - 28th August 2023

Advanced Decimal Diner Menu Engineering

Goal: You are the elite team of mathematicians and designers entrusted with creating
an advanced menu for the renowned "Decimal Diner." Your task is to design a menu that
not only showcases your mastery of decimals but also challenges you to incorporate
advanced concepts like currency conversion and percentage discounts.

Role: Imagine yourselves as the architects of an extraordinary dining experience. Your


mission is to craft a sophisticated menu that not only dazzles with its culinary offerings
but also engages customers with its mathematical intricacies.

Audience: Your audience is the top-tier management team of Decimal Diner, comprising
the head chef, the restaurant owner, and financial advisors. They seek a menu that is not
only mathematically sophisticated but also financially savvy.

Situation: You are tasked with creating a high-end menu that features a range of dishes
with complex pricing structures. Your menu must incorporate decimals, currency
conversions, and percentage discounts to present a truly unique dining experience.

Product: Your final product will be an elegantly designed menu that includes the
following components:

​ 1. Cover Page: Design a sophisticated cover page that captures the essence of
"Decimal Diner." Incorporate advanced mathematical symbols or representations
that intrigue and invite curiosity.

​ 2. Appetizers: List a selection of appetizers, each with a detailed description,
original price, and price converted to a different currency (e.g., USD to EUR).
Apply a percentage discount to one appetizer.

​ 3. Main Courses: Present a set of main course options, complete with
descriptions, original prices, and prices converted to a different currency. Apply a
different percentage discount to another main course.

​ 4. Beverages: Include a diverse range of beverages, along with their descriptions,
original prices, and prices converted to a different currency. Offer a unique
percentage discount to a specific beverage.

​ 5. Desserts: Showcase luxurious desserts with enticing descriptions, original
prices, and prices converted to a different currency. Apply a percentage discount
to one dessert.

​ Advanced Calculations: Create a section that showcases a comprehensive
calculation of the total cost for a hypothetical customer's order. Factor in
currency conversions, percentage discounts, tax (variable by location), and
gratuity (a percentage of the total cost).

Standards and Criteria for Success: Your advanced menu will be evaluated based on
the following criteria:

● Mathematical Complexity: Are advanced mathematical concepts like currency


conversion and percentage discounts accurately applied?
● Elegance: Does the menu exude sophistication and a sense of high-end dining?
● Financial Acumen: Are financial considerations like tax and gratuity factored into
the calculations?
● Culinary Descriptions: Are the dish descriptions detailed and evocative?
● Global Appeal: Does the menu's currency conversion cater to a diverse clientele?

Remember, this is your opportunity to showcase your prowess in handling complex


decimals, converting currencies, and crafting a menu that appeals to both the
mathematical mind and the discerning palate.

Advanced Total Cost Calculation Example: If a customer orders:

● Foie Gras Crostini ($24.50)


● A5 Wagyu Steak ($82.00)
● Vintage mocktail ($128.00)
● Tiramisu ($19.50)

Subtotal: $24.50 + $82.00 + $128.00 + $19.50 = $254.00

Discounts: 15% off A5 Wagyu Steak ($82.00 * 0.15 = $12.30) 10% off Tiramisu ($19.50 *

0.10 = $1.95) Total Discounts: $12.30 + $1.95 = $14.25

Subtotal after Discounts: $254.00 - $14.25 = $239.75

Tax (variable by location): $239.75 * 0.09 = $21.58

Gratuity (15% of total after discounts and tax): ($239.75 + $21.58) * 0.15 = $39.96
Total (Including Tax and Gratuity): $239.75 + $21.58 + $39.96 = $301.29
