Make prices, opening days, and the entrance clear before a visit
If a page leaves opening status unclear, guests must call or consult another source. Use frequent questions to decide what needs revision.
Publish prices, opening days, location, and booking instructions in a readable form. Start by placing necessary explanations under short headings.
Publish dish names and prices as text
A photograph of a printed menu can leave guests struggling with small lettering. Publish names, prices, and serving times as page text, with photographs supplementing the description.
W3C advises using text rather than images of text when the same presentation is possible. Update the written prices when they change. (W3C WAI: Images of Text)
Make booking and access instructions specific
Explain how to supply party size and date and how replies arrive. State whether submitting a form confirms a booking or requires a restaurant reply.
Include the building name, floor, and entrance landmark. Add an entrance photograph or short directions when the map location does not identify the door.
Ask a new reader to plan a visit
Ask someone unfamiliar with the restaurant to plan dinner on a given date. Observe how they find opening status, costs, directions, and booking details, then fix missing explanations.
Record recurring telephone questions too. Keep menus and closures current and check links to older notices.
