But the Domino's site didn't have "labels on forms," it was a whole goofy animated game where you'd drag ingredients on a pizza to order. There's no way to make that accessible without building a whole separate web app. You can argue that goofy animated games are a dumb way to run a pizza website, and I can agree with you, but we all know the web is full of that kind of thing which is now waiting to be a lawsuit magnet.

I assume it's making REST calls behind the scenes. It's probably not too difficult to make a text based version of this system.

  Indeed, they (sort of) already did; their mobile app includes a gimmicky "chatbot" feature. Admittedly, I don't think the chatbot can actually do everything the website can. But it's a start!

Well, I don't know if that helps them from legal perspective, but I'm sure many disabled (and non) wouldn't mind if there was an alternative super simple text based version (but equal) on the web that they can lead their disabled customers on every platform needed.

> But the Domino's site didn't have "labels on forms," it was a whole goofy animated game where you'd drag ingredients on a pizza to order. I've ordered a couple dozen of times on Domino's, mostly custom(ized) pizzas, and never seen a drag and drop on their website; possibly because I use their French website. Instead it's pressing buttons to add or remove ingredients. So it's possible and they already have the code to do it.
