Sometimes now this is because of supply problems that make a single, consistent menu embarrassing to the business: nobody wants to have to say, "I'm sorry; we're out of salmon and eggplant, and we haven't had coconut milk for a week. Can I offer the three of you something else?" An electronic menu can be changed immediately and at practically no cost.

This sounds like over estimating a lot of restaurants ability to handle electronic menus.
I don't think I've seen that functionality in many restaurants at all.
There is always a cost in updating the menu.
A case in point:

An electronic menu can also have prices that change every hour based on how busy the place is or even have prices based on demographic information gleaned from the user's phone.
What restaurants do this?

+1 for you, sir
None that I'm aware of, but it WILL happen.
I see your point but I've been told so many times "sorry sir we're out of salmon and eggplant" and nobody seemed to care except me regretting the salmon and eggplant. So, not sure it's a real world argument.
