About the solution

Good Food Talks is available on the form of a website and has also an iOS app.

“Good Food Talks is already trusted across more than 2500 venues by some of the UK’s leading restaurant chains, as well as a growing number of smaller independents.
We can help you make your menu completely accessible for people with visual impairments and other reading difficulties for a low monthly fee. With our shared passion for creative problem solving, we put our heads together to invent a universally accessible restaurant menu – the kind of thing someone could read as casually and effortlessly as an ordinary menu. After 4 months of research and testing, we figured out that the ideal medium for this was the device everyone already had in their pockets”, says on the official website.

The user can select the restaurant by name, location and can make the menu talk and it can also enlarge the print, highlight buttons, and even invert all the colours.
