Accessible and Affordable Restaurant Menus
Did you know that over 22 million adults have vision loss in the United States? [Source]
That's almost the population of Florida!
The Problem
Most menus exclude customers with vision loss or other disabilities.
Online menus are often only images or PDFs that screen readers cannot interpret.
Daily specials are often posted on chalkboards, etc. with no accessible alternative.
Blind patrons and seniors with low vision consistently cite the menu as "one of the biggest hurdles" when dining out. [Source]
tl;dr
Many restaurant menus are not accessible, frustrating patrons who require screen readers, keyboard navigation, or high contrast.
Why exclude such a large customer base?!
What People Want
When dining out, people want a pleasant experience without stress or a loss of independence.
Unfortunately, visually impaired patrons must often ask a companion or waiter to read the entire menu to them. This is time-consuming and diminishes their independence and privacy.
Fun Facts
Patrons that can take their time with the menu tend to order more. [Source]
In addition, blind patrons are likely to be loyal to restaurants where they can easily read the menu.
Our Solution
We take your existing menu and turn it into a fully accessible, easy-to-use, affordable, and ADA-compliant digital menu that anyone can access from any device.
A Menu for All Patrons
We also add features to your menu like a glossary of terms that may not be familiar to patrons, and the ability to easily search through the entire menu so patrons can quickly find what they're looking for.
Remember
Happy patrons order more and are loyal patrons!
Avoid Lawsuits;
Get Tax Breaks;
Save Money
Accessible menus are quickly going from a luxury to a legal requirement.
Adopting a menu that is in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) helps avoid costly lawsuits and settlements.
ADA Title III lawsuits related to accessibility are on the rise in the restaurant industry. [Source]
Restaurants in the United States are considered "public accommodations" under ADA Title III, and therefore must provide equal access to customers with disabilities.
Get a Tax Break
Small businesses (under 30 employees or under $1M revenue) can claim an IRS Disabled Access Credit for half the cost of accessibility expenditures, up to $5,000 per year. [Source]
