Aroma Indian Bistro Accessibility Policy

Intent

​

This policy applies to the provision of accessibility standards for information and communications, employment, and services for persons with disabilities at Aroma Indian Bistro and its affiliated business Island Cuisine. We are committed to ensuring our services, websites, and communications are accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities.

​

Our commitment to accessibility is in accordance with applicable legislation:

​

  • Ontario: In accordance with O. Reg. 191/11 Integrated Accessibility Standards (IASR) under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA).

  • Other Provinces: We will update this policy as other provinces introduce accessibility standards applicable to the private sector.

 

General Requirements

The following general requirements apply to the five standards: information and communications, employment, transportation, design of public spaces, and customer service.

 

Establishment of Accessibility Policies and Plans

Aroma Indian Bistro will develop, implement, and maintain policies governing how we will achieve accessibility in our services, website, and facilities. We are committed to meeting the accessibility needs of persons with disabilities in a timely manner and will make these policies publicly available in accessible formats upon request.

​

We will establish, implement, and document a multi-year accessibility plan outlining our strategy to prevent and remove barriers and meet our accessibility requirements under the IASR. This plan will be made available on our website in accessible formats upon request and will be reviewed and updated every five years.

 

Procuring or Acquiring Goods and Services, or Facilities

When procuring or acquiring goods, services, or facilities, Aroma Indian Bistro will incorporate accessibility criteria and features unless it is not practicable to do so.

 

Training Requirements

We will provide training on the IASR accessibility requirements, including the Ontario Human Rights Code, as it pertains to individuals with disabilities. This training will be provided to all employees, individuals who participate in the development of policies, and those who provide goods, services, or facilities on behalf of Aroma Indian Bistro. New employees will receive training within 90 days of hire, and additional training will be provided when accessibility policies change.

 

Feedback Process

Aroma Indian Bistro will ensure that all feedback processes are accessible to customers, clients, and employees upon request. We will make the availability of accessible feedback formats publicly known.

 

Accessible Formats and Communication Supports

Upon request, Aroma Indian Bistro will provide or arrange for the provision of accessible formats and communication supports for persons with disabilities. This will be done in a timely manner, at no additional cost, and in consultation with the person making the request to ensure suitability.

​

We will publicly announce the availability of accessible formats and communication supports.

 

Emergency Procedures, Plans, or Public Safety Information

All publicly available emergency procedures, plans, or safety information, such as evacuation procedures and floor plans, will be provided in accessible formats or with appropriate communication supports upon request.

 

Unconvertible Information or Communications

If a request for an accessible format or communication support is deemed unconvertible, Aroma Indian Bistro will provide an explanation and a summary of the information. Information or communications are considered unconvertible when it is not technically practicable to convert them or the technology required for the conversion is not readily available.

 

Website Accessibility

In addition to the general requirements, Aroma Indian Bistro will ensure that our website and web content conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), including specific compliance deadlines as outlined in the IASR and any provincial legislation.

 

Definitions:

  • Accessible formats: Large print, recorded audio, electronic formats, braille, and other formats usable by persons with disabilities.

  • Communication supports: Captioning, sign language, plain language, and other supports that facilitate effective communication.

  • Conversion-ready: Electronic or digital formats that can be converted into accessible formats.

  • Kiosk: Interactive electronic terminals for public use that allow users to access one or more services or products.

 

Customer Service Standards

Scope

This policy applies to the provision of goods and services at all Aroma Indian Bistro locations. It also applies to employees, volunteers, and any third parties providing goods, services, or facilities on behalf of Aroma Indian Bistro.

 

Use of Assistive Devices, Service Animals, and Support Persons

Assistive Devices: Customers with disabilities are permitted to use personal assistive devices while accessing our goods, services, or facilities.

​

Service Animals: Persons with disabilities who are accompanied by a service animal will be allowed to enter our premises and keep the animal with them unless otherwise excluded by law. In cases where a service animal is excluded by law, we will ensure that other measures are available to enable the person with a disability to access our goods, services, or facilities.

 

Support Persons: If a person with a disability is accompanied by a support person, both will be allowed to enter our premises together and the person with the disability will have access to the support person at all times.

 

Aroma Indian Bistro may require a person with a disability to be accompanied by a support person when on the premises, but only after consulting with the person and determining that a support person is necessary to protect the health or safety of the person or others.

 

Training on Customer Service Standards

In addition to the training specified in the general requirements, Aroma Indian Bistro will provide training to all employees, volunteers, and third parties on how to:

​

  • Interact and communicate with persons with various types of disabilities.

  • Interact with persons who use assistive devices or require the assistance of service animals or support persons.

  • Use equipment or devices available on our premises to assist persons with disabilities.

  • Handle situations where a person with a disability has difficulty accessing our goods, services, or facilities.

 

Training will be provided within 90 days of hire, and records of the training will be maintained.
