The tutorial is nicely done. But the example is very bad. Some HTML and maybe 10 lines PHP are much suitable for an Pizza Order Formular.
I think the sun dataware house store is a better app for this.
What do you think could be a better example?

Text editors are the most common example of Java Web Start applications. But really any desktop application like tax or accounting software can also be deployed as a Java Web Start application. I chose the Menu Application because it was a fairly simple example. You are right, there are other simpler ways of implementing that example.
