Questions we get asked
- Do restaurant websites have to be ADA compliant?
- Yes. Federal courts have consistently ruled that restaurant websites are 'places of public accommodation' under the ADA. ADA lawsuits against restaurant websites increased 745% in H1 2025. If you serve any EU customers or operate internationally, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) — now enforced across all 27 EU member states — adds additional legal exposure.
- What happens if my restaurant's website isn't ADA compliant?
- You can receive a demand letter requiring remediation within 20–30 days. If you don't comply, the plaintiff can file a federal lawsuit. Settlement costs typically range from $5,000 to $75,000, plus attorney fees on both sides.
- What makes a restaurant website ADA non-compliant?
- The most common issues are: menu images without alt text (screen readers can't read your menu), inaccessible online ordering forms, missing keyboard navigation for reservation widgets, and insufficient color contrast. These are the violations cited in most demand letters.
- Does an accessibility widget or overlay protect my restaurant from lawsuits?
- No. 22% of ADA lawsuits in 2025 targeted businesses that already had a widget installed. Widgets add a surface-level layer but don't fix the underlying code. Courts have rejected them as a defense — only real code-level remediation works.
