Why restaurants get targeted
Plaintiff law firms have figured out that restaurant websites are predictably broken in the same ways — and that most restaurant owners have no idea. They scan thousands of sites at a time looking for the same repeatable violations, then send demand letters in bulk. It's not personal. It's a volume business, and restaurants are the easiest volume.
What's typically broken on restaurants sites
- Online ordering and reservation forms that screen readers can't navigate
- Menus published as flat images or untagged PDFs — invisible to assistive technology
- Low contrast text on dark or patterned backgrounds (common in restaurant branding)
- Missing alt text on food photography and hero images
