1,368 restaurants got hit with ADA web lawsuits in 2025 — 34.65% of all filings. Pasadena's commercial corridors — Old Pasadena, the South Lake retail strip, the Playhouse District — concentrate the kind of independent restaurants, boutiques, and practices that 2025's accessibility-litigation wave is targeting. Polished storefronts, dated websites, low audit awareness. We rebuild restaurant sites in Pasadena to WCAG 2.1 AA in 1–2 weeks.
Screen readers can't read them. The single most-cited failure in 2025 demand letters against restaurants — and a Google SEO drag, since search engines can't index the items.
Cart, checkout, customization, and modifier groups without programmatic labels. The same flow that gets your customers also gets you sued.
Older OpenTable / Resy iframes (and almost every custom reservation form) fail focus management. Keyboard users get stuck. Trivial to fix; trivial to litigate.
"Welcome to Mama's" in cream over a brick-wall photo — contrast 1.8:1, every time. Standard pattern, standard WCAG fail, easy demand letter.
The three pieces of info every customer actually needs — buried in modals, rendered as images, or formatted so they can't be tapped to call.
Live mobile scores in seconds — same engine Google uses to rank you. No email required.
That's 1,368 cases. Average settlement runs $25,000–$50,000; attorneys' fees on top. 77%of defendants are small businesses earning under $25M. Remediation costs a small fraction of either number — and the demand letter doesn't care how good your service is.

Run our automated audit above, or let us hand-write one. We return a written report with every WCAG criterion you fail, every Core Web Vital miss, and what each one would cost to fix.
Tied to a defined deliverable list. Not hourly. We tell you the price before any work begins; if it changes, you sign off first.
You see what we're building each day, not in a Friday update. We ship on the date in the quote.
No. We embed them so they pass keyboard and screen-reader tests. If your existing widget is fundamentally broken (some older OpenTable iframes still are), we'll flag it and offer alternatives — but we don't force a migration.
We work with whatever you're on. Most modern platforms have accessible embed options; we wire them in correctly. If you're on something fundamentally broken, we'll show you what to switch to and the cost difference.
Often partially. Mixed setups are common: chain controls the menu and brand, franchisee owns the location page or booking flow. We audit what you actually own and remediate that. The lawsuit can still name the franchisee, so it's still your problem to fix.
Yes. PDF menus are the single most-cited failure in restaurant ADA lawsuits. We rebuild as semantic HTML — accessible, indexable for SEO, editable without a designer.
Free. 1–2 weeks if you move forward. No overlay widgets. No 6-month timelines.
