0 / 10

01

Does the menu open without forcing a PDF download?
Fail

Pass criterion

Opens as an HTML page in the browser

Common failure

Forces a 4 to 8 MB PDF download before anything is readable

Workflow test on 5 independent restaurant QR codes scanned 2026-05 — 4 of 5 routed to a PDF.
02

Is body text 16px or larger after the phone's default zoom?
Fail

Pass criterion

All items and prices render at 16px+ without pinching

Common failure

Rendered text is 8 to 10px because the PDF is sized for 8.5x11 paper

WCAG 2.2 SC 1.4.4 recommends 200% resize without loss; PDF menus break this.
03

LCP under 2.5s on a throttled 4G connection?
Fail

Pass criterion

First contentful menu paint under 2.5s on slow-4G profile

Common failure

LCP is the PDF itself — 6 to 9s on slow-4G

Lighthouse 'Slow 4G' simulation against the source PDF, not an HTML page.
04

Can a guest read prices without pinch-zooming?
Fail

Pass criterion

Prices live in a left-or-right column at body size

Common failure

Prices are in a 7pt right column requiring 3x pinch zoom
05

Allergen tags machine-readable (icons + alt text)?
Fail

Pass criterion

Icons have alt text like 'Contains peanuts'

Common failure

Allergens are image-only with no alt; screen readers see nothing
06

Can a single menu item be linked individually?
Fail

Pass criterion

Items have anchor links like /menu#flatbread

Common failure

It is a flat PDF — no URL fragments, no deep links
07

Can an owner update a single price in under 5 minutes?
Fail

Pass criterion

Inline edit, autosaves, QR stays the same

Common failure

Owner re-exports the PDF in Word, re-uploads, sometimes prints a new QR
08

Does the menu degrade gracefully on spotty Wi-Fi?
Fail

Pass criterion

HTML page caches; text shows before images

Common failure

PDF either fully loads or shows a blank PDF.js panel
09

Is the restaurant phone number tap-to-call visible?
Fail

Pass criterion

tel: link in header or footer, 44x44 px tap target

Common failure

Phone number is baked into the PDF image, not tappable
10

Is there a print stylesheet for the kitchen?
Fail

Pass criterion

/menu?print=1 prints clean A4 with prices on the right

Common failure

Owner maintains a separate Word doc for kitchen printouts
