In 2024 alone, more than 4,600 ADA website accessibility lawsuits were filed in the U.S., and nearly 40% targeted small businesses, including restaurants. Most of these lawsuits could have been avoided with a few simple website updates. For restaurant owners, ADA compliance is not just about following the law. It is about protecting your business and ensuring that every guest can access your website with ease. At BYK Digital, we help restaurants stay ahead of compliance issues before they turn into costly problems.
1. Why Restaurants Are at Risk
Your restaurant’s website is often the first interaction a guest has with your brand. If that website is not accessible, you may be unintentionally excluding customers with disabilities and opening yourself up to legal action. Common red flags include:
- Missing alt text on images
- Menus uploaded as non-accessible PDFs
- Poor color contrast or small fonts
- Navigation that is not screen-reader friendly
These simple oversights are among the top reasons restaurants face ADA lawsuits. BYK Digital specializes in identifying these vulnerabilities and bringing your website up to ADA standards quickly and affordably.
2. The Real Cost of Non-Compliance
ADA lawsuits can cost restaurants thousands of dollars in settlements, legal fees, and web redevelopment costs. The bigger loss comes from reputation damage. Customers remember businesses that fail to be inclusive. By partnering with BYK Digital, you can safeguard your restaurant against these risks. We handle all the technical updates, accessibility audits, and compliance monitoring so you can focus on running your business with peace of mind.
