Ementado

Accessibility statement

Last updated: 5 November 2026

We want everyone to be able to use Ementado: whoever builds the menu and whoever reads it at the table.

With the keyboardEverything works with the keyboard, with focus in view.
Text you can readContrast of 4.5 to 1 or more, also in each place’s colours.
Everything namedImages have descriptions and icon-only buttons have names.
Phone to desktopPages work from 320 px up to large screens.

The goal: WCAG 2.1, level AA

The goal is level AA of WCAG 2.1, the international rules for an accessible web. Today, Ementado is partially conformant: the exceptions are below.

It covers the site, the dashboard, the editor and the menus customers open at the table. If your device asks for less motion, animations stop.

Before a change on screen goes live, three automated audits run:

Accessibility: axe-core goes through more than a hundred screens, on phone and desktop.
Focus: goes through the screens with the Tab key and checks that focus is always visible.
Safari: opens the pages in Safari’s engine, from 320 to 1920 px.

Each change is also checked by hand, on a phone and with the keyboard. Last time, on 5 November 2026, all three audits finished with no issues.

The Designer’s pieces and videos are images for social media. Their text also goes in the caption we prepare.
Translation into languages other than Portuguese and English is done by Google, and we don’t control it.
The Casas Ementadas map serves screen reader users poorly. The list of places has the same information.
What each place writes and shows in its menu is up to the place; Ementado gives it an accessible form.

If something doesn’t work well with a keyboard, a screen reader or large text, tell us.

Write to ementado@ementado.pt with the page and what happened. We’ll reply and let you know when it’s fixed. You can also use our other contacts.
