A Food-Truck Menu Board Lists Five Kinds of Item, and Fewer Than Half Are Available All Day

A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities sorts the 583 items listed on the menu boards of 46 food trucks into five kinds by how much of the service day each is in stock, from 39,178 hourly probes, and finds that fewer than half are available all day and that a board's layout does not reveal the kind. The Horizon Register adopts the vocabulary as the University's function-ordering standard, placing orders from the Standing column only.
