To accommodate wheelchair guests, restaurants must be ___ compliant.

• A. FDA
• B. ADA
• C. OSHA
• D. EPA

Answer: (B)

Accessibility for customers with disabilities is protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act. In restaurants, this means designing and operating facilities so wheelchair users can enter, move around, and access essentials like seating, restrooms, and service areas without barriers. Examples include a ramp or level entrance, wide doorways and aisles, tables and seating with space for a wheelchair, accessible restrooms, and clear paths from the parking lot to the entrance. Compliance with the ADA helps ensure equal access and prevents discrimination against guests with disabilities. The other agencies—FDA focuses on food safety, OSHA on workplace safety, and EPA on environmental protections—do not set the public-accessibility standards for customers in a restaurant.
