you should return this cause not instantiate object new. function inside getrestauranttiming should binded this.

var restaurant = (function($) {        function getrestauranttiming(id) {      alert('hi');    }      this.getrestauranttiming = getrestauranttiming;      return this;      })(jquery);    restaurant.getrestauranttiming(1);
