Menu Design

Mobile-Friendly Chinese Menu Design

Most online menu views happen on phones. A Chinese restaurant menu that fails on mobile fails in practice.

Guide

Rule Reason
Single-column layout Prevents pinch-zooming.
Sticky section links Helps long menus stay navigable.
Readable dish names Chinese, pinyin, and English must not collapse into clutter.
Fast photos Large image files slow ordering.
Tap-friendly phone and order links Turns menu views into orders.

On long menu pages, WCAG expects a way to bypass repeated blocks such as navigation, which is why skip links and clear main-content landmarks matter. ADA guidance treats accessible digital communication as part of serving the public effectively, not just as a design preference. WCAG expects link purpose to be clear from the link text or surrounding context, so labels like "Lunch menu PDF" are stronger than "click here." WCAG 2.2 sets a 4.5:1 contrast minimum for normal text and 3:1 for large text.
