Reservation widgets
Third-party iframes often fail keyboard and label tests.
Online order checkout
Quantity steppers and modifier modals miss ARIA.
Hours/location maps
Color-only “open now” indicators fail 1.4.1.

Frequently asked
Does the ADA apply to a restaurant's website?
US case law has repeatedly found public-accommodation websites in scope. Online ordering pages are a common plaintiff target.
Will it work if my menu is hosted on a third party?
We can scan the page where the menu is embedded. If the third-party iframe fails, we flag it — fixes need to ship with the vendor.
