Restaurant Websites & Digital Menus
Accessibility evaluations of restaurant websites, location finders, navigation, interactive menus, promotions, contact forms, and important customer information.
Restaurant website accessibility and beyond
Restaurant & Hospitality Technology Accessibility
Accessible digital experiences, from menu to checkout.
Today’s restaurant experience extends far beyond the dining room. Customers discover locations, explore menus, place orders, make reservations, redeem rewards, and complete payments through an interconnected network of websites, mobile applications, and third-party platforms.
CompliCorp helps restaurant brands, franchise operators, hospitality technology providers, and digital agencies identify and resolve accessibility barriers across these critical customer experiences.
Our services combine independent manual WCAG accessibility evaluations, assistive technology testing, remediation guidance, and ongoing consulting to help organizations deliver more inclusive digital experiences.
Connected customer experiences
Accessibility Across the Restaurant Technology Ecosystem
A restaurant’s digital experience often involves multiple vendors and technologies. While a website may be managed internally or by a digital agency, online ordering, reservations, loyalty programs, gift cards, and payment processing often rely on external technology platforms.
Accessibility barriers at any point can interrupt the customer journey. CompliCorp helps organizations evaluate these interconnected experiences, identify accessibility issues, clarify technical responsibilities, and coordinate practical improvements.
Online Ordering & Checkout
Testing of menu selection, customization, shopping carts, discount codes, delivery and pickup options, payment workflows, and order confirmation.
Mobile Apps & Loyalty Programs
Evaluation of customer-facing applications, account registration, loyalty enrollment, rewards redemption, and other interactive experiences.
Reservations & Guest Engagement
Accessibility testing for reservation systems, waitlists, guest forms, customer communications, and other digital interactions.
Catering, Gift Cards & Merchandise
Accessibility evaluations of catering requests, online gift card purchasing, branded merchandise storefronts, and related transactional workflows.
Kiosks & Third-Party Technology Integrations
Evaluation of appropriately scoped self-service kiosk interfaces and integrated technology workflows. We identify barriers involving external systems and provide practical findings for the responsible development teams.
For self-service devices, we agree on the interface, device access, and applicable requirements before testing. See our hardware and kiosk accessibility evaluations.

Testing, guidance, and verification
Our Accessibility Services
Restaurant website accessibility audits and broader product evaluations are scoped to the customer tasks, platforms, and standards that matter to your organization. We can evaluate WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA, or another agreed version and level. Browsers, devices, assistive technologies, and third-party access are confirmed before testing.
Manual evaluation examines how people complete tasks. Automated checks can supplement that work; they do not replace keyboard and assistive technology testing.
Manual Accessibility Audits
Comprehensive evaluations of agreed websites, applications, and customer workflows against applicable WCAG criteria, including keyboard and assistive technology testing.

ADA Accessibility and Restaurant Websites
Restaurants and other businesses open to the public have accessibility obligations under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The U.S. Department of Justice’s guidance on web accessibility and the ADA explains its position that those requirements extend to the goods and services businesses offer on the web.
As restaurants increasingly rely on websites, online ordering, and other digital platforms, accessibility is an important component of providing equal access to their services.
CompliCorp helps organizations evaluate digital experiences against established technical standards, identify barriers affecting people with disabilities, and create practical remediation plans. Our work focuses on measurable accessibility improvements through manual evaluation, assistive technology testing, and technical guidance.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) provide testable criteria for technical evaluation. WCAG conformance does not automatically establish ADA compliance or eliminate legal risk.
Restaurant accessibility questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Scoping, third-party platforms, agency collaboration, and procurement documentation.
Does the ADA apply to restaurant websites and online ordering?
The U.S. Department of Justice has explained that ADA accessibility requirements apply to the web offerings of businesses open to the public, including restaurants. WCAG evaluations provide a recognized technical framework for identifying and addressing accessibility barriers. An evaluation does not guarantee legal compliance.
Who is responsible for accessibility problems in third-party ordering platforms?
Responsibility depends on the arrangements between the organizations; there is no single answer for every integration. Digital restaurant experiences frequently involve external providers. CompliCorp can evaluate agreed third-party workflows, document accessibility barriers, and provide technical findings to support remediation. Contractual obligations and technical control may affect which team implements the corrections.
Can CompliCorp work directly with our digital agency or technology provider?
Yes. We collaborate with digital agencies, development teams, and technology providers to integrate accessibility expertise into existing workflows and support practical remediation. We agree on access, communication, and each team's responsibilities when scoping the work.
Can multiple restaurant locations be evaluated efficiently?
Yes. Restaurant groups sharing website templates, ordering workflows, or common digital components may benefit from representative testing. Location-specific functionality and unique integrations can be identified during scoping, so the evaluation covers meaningful differences across the selected properties.
Do restaurant technology providers need VPATs?
A VPAT-based Accessibility Conformance Report may be requested by enterprise or public-sector customers as part of procurement. The VPAT is the template; the completed report is an ACR. CompliCorp can help restaurant technology providers evaluate their products and prepare documentation matched to the buyer's requirements.
