All About Accessibility: Dining Out

 

Restaurants, hotels, resorts, event centers, and other venues offer a variety of dining options for the public. Ensuring accessibility empowers diners with disabilities to enjoy meals alongside family, friends, or colleagues. With one of the busiest dining holidays approaching, now is a perfect time to review best practices for accessible dining.

 

A positive dining experience often starts before guests even make it inside. Many individuals visit the restaurant's website beforehand to find information about menu options, hours of operation, and parking facilities. Providing accessible parking, entrances, routes, and seating can enhance the dining experience upon arrival. 

 

Once inside, having staff who understand accessibility and inclusion is key to an accessible dining experience. Our Accessible Ohio team has gathered tips, resources, and information to help you and your staff create these positive experiences throughout the year.
