I agree with Mr. George, in present Scenario Accessible menu cards will not be great business model as number of blind patrons eating at hotels is less. The staff at the hotel shall be sensitized, I remember, earlier in small hotels/Dhabas there were no menu cards and the hotel staff use to announce the names of dishes. Still at small towns this can be seen. I feel no problem to ask the staff to read out the menu card for me.
