Accessibility Statement for Tipsy Yeti Restaurant & Bar

Last updated: August 17, 2025

At Tipsy Yeti Restaurant & Bar (“Tipsy Yeti,” “we,” “our”), we’re committed to providing a website and in‑person experience that is accessible to the broadest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and, in doing so, aim to adhere to applicable accessibility standards and guidelines.

Our Accessibility Standard

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, including people who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, magnifiers, speech recognition, and switch controls.

Measures We Take

  • Use of semantic HTML for structure and landmarks (header, nav, main, footer)

  • Sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds

  • Keyboard navigable menus and controls

  • Descriptive link text and button labels

  • Alternative text for meaningful images; decorative images marked appropriately

  • Visible focus styles for interactive elements

  • Captions and/or transcripts for media where applicable

  • Avoidance of motion/animation triggered by user interaction unless essential, with the ability to pause/stop

  • Consistent headings and component patterns across pages

  • Regular automated and manual testing

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is a journey. We conduct periodic audits using automated tools and manual testing with screen readers (e.g., VoiceOver, NVDA) and keyboard‑only navigation. Issues that we discover are prioritized and remediated within our development sprints.

Known Limitations

While we aim for WCAG 2.2 AA conformance across the site, some third‑party content and integrations (e.g., embedded menus, maps, ordering/booking systems) may not fully meet these standards. We monitor these areas and work with vendors to improve accessibility.
