Menus at restaurants


No, I would never expect any restaurant to always have a Braille menu on hand for a blind person. However, with more apps becoming available for persons in general to read with their i devices, my life has just become that bit more interesting and exciting.

Asking any restaurant to provide Braille menus to their blind patrons could be considered to be a bit much given two reasons: The production of Braille menus may be a bit costly and the number of blind customers requiring them may not justify producing them. However, there are alternatives out there to be considered. The online way is one way and if a blind person has a device with a scanning app then this can surely be used when they visit a restaurant. Things are definitely looking up for us.

Gone are the days of the unreadable restaurant menu and now say hello to being able to read it ourselves.
