Accessibility Statement

Last Updated: June 8, 2026

At The Apple Pan, we are committed to providing an inclusive and accessible digital experience for all visitors, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that every guest should be able to access information about our restaurant, browse our website, and engage with our online services in a manner that is accessible, equitable, and user-friendly.

To support this commitment, we have designed and evaluated our website with reference to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, which are internationally recognized standards for web accessibility. Our goal is to make our digital content accessible to the widest possible audience and to continuously improve the usability of our website for all users.

Accessibility Evaluation and Testing

We employ a comprehensive accessibility review process that combines automated testing, manual evaluation, and ongoing monitoring to identify and address accessibility barriers.

Automated Accessibility Testing

Our website is regularly evaluated using automated accessibility testing tools, including the WAVE (Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool), to identify common accessibility issues and opportunities for improvement. These reviews help us detect concerns related to alternative text, heading structure, form labels, color contrast, keyboard accessibility, and other technical accessibility requirements.

Manual Accessibility Testing

Because automated tools cannot identify every accessibility issue, our accessibility review process also includes detailed manual testing conducted by trained accessibility specialists. This testing includes:

  • Screen reader testing using NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver.

  • Keyboard-only navigation testing to ensure users can access functionality without a mouse.

  • Review of page structure, focus order, and interactive elements.

  • Evaluation of color contrast and visual presentation requirements.

  • Assessment of content readability and user experience considerations.

Manual testing allows us to identify and remediate issues that may not be detected through automated scanning alone.

Accessibility Documentation

As part of our accessibility compliance efforts, we have completed a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT®), which documents our evaluation of accessibility features and conformance considerations related to recognized accessibility standards, including:

  • Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA

  • Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act

  • Applicable accessibility requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

Our accessibility documentation forms part of our broader commitment to transparency and continuous improvement.

Ongoing Accessibility Commitment

Accessibility is not a one-time project but an ongoing process. We continually monitor, review, and improve our website to address evolving accessibility standards, technological changes, and user feedback.

Our ongoing accessibility efforts may include:

  • Periodic accessibility audits and evaluations.

  • Remediation of identified accessibility barriers.

  • Review of newly published content and website features.

  • Monitoring updates to accessibility laws, regulations, and industry best practices.

  • Incorporation of accessibility considerations into website maintenance and development processes.

While we strive to ensure that all content and functionality remain accessible, some areas of the website may be in the process of improvement as accessibility standards and technologies continue to evolve.

Feedback and Assistance

We welcome feedback regarding the accessibility of our website. If you encounter any accessibility barriers, experience difficulty accessing content, require information in an alternative format, or need assistance placing an online order, we encourage you to contact us. We take accessibility-related inquiries seriously and will make reasonable efforts to respond promptly and provide appropriate assistance.
