We want everyone in Throggs Neck to be able to read our menu and order food. We are working toward WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We have not been independently audited, so we are not going to claim we have passed it. Here is what we actually did.

The menu is text

Our full menu is real text on the page. It is not a PDF and it is not a photo of the menu board, so a screen reader can read it out and you can enlarge it without it turning to mush.

We measured the colours instead of guessing

Every text colour on this site was measured against the colour behind it. Our sign red is bright, but it does not have enough contrast for small text on cream, so prices and descriptions are printed in black or brown instead. Our gold is used as a fill, never as text on a pale background. Body text is never pure white on black, because that glares on a phone at night.

Nothing moves unless you want it to

Nothing plays until you ask for it. There is no video on the page when it loads; the clips start only after you open one, and if your device is set to reduce motion they do not start even then. No carousel. Reduce motion also stops the scrolling banner, and messages appear without animation.

It works with a keyboard

Every button, field and control on this site can be reached with the Tab key, and shows a visible outline when it has focus. Links too, in Chrome, Firefox and Edge. We tested this the same way we tested the colours: a real Tab traversal of every page, reading the focus ring off each element as the keyboard reaches it.

Safari is different, and it is not our doing. Apple ships macOS with keyboard navigation turned off, so in Safari the Tab key moves between form fields and skips links until you turn it on. That is one switch: System Settings › Keyboard › Keyboard navigation (on older versions, Safari › Settings › Advanced › “Press Tab to highlight each item on a webpage”). With it on, Safari reaches everything the other browsers do. We would rather tell you that than claim something you would find out was untrue the first time you pressed Tab.

No text hidden inside pictures

Prices, item names and our hours are all real text.

Where we know we fall short

Online ordering is open, and the whole of it - the menu, the item sheet, the cart and the checkout - is reachable with the Tab key, which we tested rather than assumed. In Safari that holds once keyboard navigation is on; the paragraph above says where the switch is. What we have not done is sit a screen-reader user in front of it and watch, and until we have, we are not going to claim it reads well end to end. If something on this page does not work for you, that is useful to us and we would rather hear it than not.

Tell us

Call the shop and ask for Rick or Mark. Tell us what did not work and we will fix it, or read it to you over the phone, whichever gets you your food faster. (718) 795-0522
