Abstract
This study analyzes 85 papers about restaurant menu design experiments using the theories-characteristics-contexts-methods (TCCM) framework and provides a systematic review according to the four aspects of the framework. A conceptual framework is developed in the study based on the six dimensions of menu design and four-layer models of the consumer-behavior measures related to menu design. This study also synthesizes the theories of various menu design studies to support the models and conceptual framework, highlights the development of menu design studies, and analyzes the experimental designs, variables and general trends. Implications and future research opportunities are discussed.
