Making Your Orderspoon Site ADA Compliant
What is ADA Compliance?
The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) ensures that your restaurant (as a public venue) meets accessibility requirements. Inside your restaurant this has typically meant that people with disabilities are able to appropriately access your venue.
In the last few years, the ADA has been interpreted more broadly by the courts to include web-based (i.e. online ordering) systems so that people with disabilities (i.e. blind users) have appropriate accommodations when ordering from your website (similar to how they would order from inside your store). Practically, this means that your site or app supports screen readers, keyboard navigation and other accessibility requirements outlined in the W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0).
