Gabi is 21 year old university student on a short overseas visit. She wants to experience as much of China’s food culture as possible on a limited budget. She googled apps to help her find good value restaurants and within walking distance of my location.
Roger is a 45 year old high school teacher on vacation in China with his family. Roger wants to find nice restaurants with great service and food. Speaking limited Chinese means its hard to avoid dishes that the family will not enjoy (e.g. too spicy, food allergies). A translated menu avoids a lot of the difficulties associated with ordering Chinese dishes.
