Rusty Payton, a lawyer for a plaintiff who sued Grubhub stated that the goal for all of the clients was to benefit from the websites and apps like other consumers. Payton went on to state that services like Grubhub are especially important to people with disabilities because it provides individuals the option to access food from restaurants without encountering potentially more serious obstacles by going to a restaurant.
Other Companies Still Facing Allegations of Violating the ADA
While McDonald’s, Grubhub, K-Mart, and Empire Today plan to improve their websites and apps to be more accessible, there are other federal lawsuits pending against McDonald’s Ace Hardware, Brinker International (the parent company of Chili’s), Quizno’s, Arby’s, and six other retail and restaurants. The companies are accused of violating the ADA.
