In Malaysia there is about 2.8 million or 10 percent of its population is People with Disabilities (PWD) including visual impaired people estimated by United Nations. Lack of awareness among Malaysians and insufficient handicapped facilities are among the two main reasons identified by government in addressing this issue. In an effort to help closing the gap and be part of the concern communities, we come out with SEE 'MANGER', a Braille Menu in hotel restaurants to assist visual impaired peoples with their dining experiences. This product will be equipped with all the items available at the restaurant consisting of appetizer group, main course, desserts and beverages. Additionally, the price of individual item and food pictures will also be shown in Braille. The prototype will refer Sri Molek Restaurant, Hotel UiTM Terengganu's menu.

Uniquely, it give customers sense of independence and shows how caring the restaurateur in meeting the customer's needs.
