Accessibility Statement

At Gourmet Galaxy, we are committed to providing a dining experience that is inclusive and accessible to everyone. We believe that all our guests, regardless of their abilities, should be able to enjoy our exquisite cuisine and stellar ambiance. This accessibility statement outlines our ongoing efforts to ensure that both our physical restaurant and our website are accessible to individuals with disabilities.

Our commitment extends to all aspects of our business, from the design of our physical space to the content and functionality of our website. We strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, an internationally recognized standard for web accessibility, as well as complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards for physical accessibility. We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing journey, and we are continually working to improve our services and facilities to meet the needs of all our guests.

This statement provides detailed information about the accessibility features available at Gourmet Galaxy, both online and in our physical location. We encourage you to review this information and to contact us if you have any questions or suggestions about how we can further improve accessibility.

Our accessibility efforts are guided by the principles of universal design, which aims to create environments and products that are usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. We believe that by incorporating these principles into our planning and design processes, we can create a more welcoming and inclusive experience for everyone.

Accessibility Features

Website Accessibility

Our website, www.gourmetgalaxy.com, is designed with accessibility in mind. We have implemented the following features to ensure that our website is usable by people with disabilities:

• Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML tags to structure our content, making it easier for assistive technologies such as screen readers to understand and navigate.
• Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website have descriptive alternative text, providing context for users who cannot see the images. For example, the image of our "Chef's Special" includes the alt text: "Chef's Special: Pan-Seared Scallops with Saffron Risotto."
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website can be navigated using a keyboard alone, without requiring a mouse or other pointing device.
• Color Contrast: We have carefully selected color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background, making it easier for users with low vision to read.
