Memphis:
Visually impaired customers experience frustration with small, italicized print and with low-light environments typical in many restaurants. And, we all know that frustrated customers are not return customers. Aging customers are asking for more light and larger print menus. ADA regulations for public accommodations include Braille/Large Print as effective methods of ensuring no individual with a visual impairment is denied services. Census figures reflect 60,000 persons in the Memphis Metro area report they have significant vision loss.
For a donation of $50.00 Clovernook will reprint your menu in Braille/Large Print. All you need to provide is the menu text and you’ll receive two quality bound copies of your menu.
