Pulling the latest…
Coffee at any event should be welcoming, wedding, corporate offsite, private celebration. Alongside Events is designed so every guest, regardless of age, tech comfort, or ability, can enjoy the cart without ever needing to scan a QR code.
QR ordering is one path, not the path. Our signage templates never say “skip the line” or “faster with QR” in-person ordering at the cart is first-class. Research shows more than half of adults 65+ don’t scan QR codes; we design with that in mind.
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, the standard U.S. courts and the Department of Justice look to for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We audit with automated tooling (axe) alongside manual keyboard and screen-reader testing, and treat any conformance gap as a bug to fix.
In practice: a visible keyboard focus ring on every control, a “skip to content” link past the navigation, text and controls that meet AA contrast, our color picker rejects combinations that fail contrast, tap targets are at least 48×48 pixels, text scales to 200% without breaking layout, and the whole app stays zoomable. Screen-reader support is tested on VoiceOver (iOS) and TalkBack (Android).
If you’ve set prefers-reduced-motion in your operating system, animations across our site and in-event pages are disabled automatically.
We’re adding menu translation in seven languages, Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Russian, and Ukrainian, for multi-generational and multicultural weddings.
