Implementation choice: We selected HashMap to store MenuItem objects for its quick
lookup performance through key-based access, ensuring efficient retrieval for the Table
class during order processing, whereas a List alternative, while simpler for storage, requires
a linear search that slows access time.
I couldn't find any relevant code that actually uses Menu class to find MenuItem by its name (String). Do you think the above explanation is relevant?
