Make Your Restaurant Truly Accessible. Starting Today.

For millions of diners with disabilities, every meal starts with a gamble. A step at the entrance. A restroom they can't use. A staff that doesn't know how to help.

This is not an isolated problem!
66+ MillionAmericans with some type of disability deal with this every day (1)

What's Inside

A checklist built from real diners' experiences

The DineAbiliti Accessibility Checklist is a structured, easy-to-follow tool covering every touchpoint in a restaurant visit, from the parking lot to the restroom, through the lens of diners with disabilities.

We built it using firsthand insights gathered from thousands of accessibility reviews on our platform, inspired by ADA guidelines and direct feedback from the disability community. It's not a legal document. It's a practical starting point for restaurants that want to do better.

Why It Matters

The bar for "accessible" is low. The opportunity isn't.

Reach More Guests

Over 60 million Americans live with a disability. Accessible restaurants don't just serve them. They win their loyalty, and the loyalty of everyone who dines with them.

Go Beyond Compliance

ADA compliance is a floor, not a ceiling. Our checklist helps you understand what truly matters to diners: the practical, human details that turn a compliant restaurant into a welcoming one.

Turn Access Into Growth

Guests value restaurants that are welcoming and easy to navigate. The checklist helps you make practical improvements that can attract more diners, strengthen your top line, and support future accessibility badge recognition.
