The ADA and your restaurant at Point of Sale Checkout could be the next lawsuit…here’s why

While most businesses have ADA compliant parking spaces and restrooms, most do not have ADA compliant checkout systems. ADA fines can start at 4000 dollars, and the business can also be sued in civil court for discrimination compensation. Civil penalties can start at 55,000 dollars and be increased for subsequent violations if there are further complaints. ADA compliant point of sale mounts can be purchased to make a business ADA compliant and not at risk of fines or lawsuits.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Department of Justice is required to enforce ADA Compliance Laws and as these are compliance laws, they must be abided by.
  • As ADA accessible Point-of-Sale Checkouts are big targets for lawsuits, businesses should be proactive in addressing compliance complaints.
  • Other local agencies also enforce ADA compliance in addition to private complaints and lawsuits

“Considering the ADA fines start at $4,000 per-complaint, it is well worth the small investment to mount an “Access for All” ADA and PCI-DSS compliant mounting stands for your credit card reader at your checkout counters.”
