Dear In-N-Out,
We visited the In-N-Out at Jordan Landing in Salt Lake City, UT, recently to complete an assignment that included learning about the American with Disabilities Act(ADA) regarding accessibility for individuals with disabilities. We sincerely appreciate In -N- Out’s approval to come and the time spent with us. We were able to gain a deeper understanding of the importance of accessibility and accessibility education for members of our community through this visit.
We are quite pleased with In-N-Out and how effectively the company complies with ADA regulations. We were impressed by the following:
● Properly sized and marked accessible parking, with enough handicapped parking spots and ramps to the sidewalk.
● The register at hip height, easily reachable for someone in a wheelchair
● Grab bars and a large handicap-accessible toilet
● Sink that accommodates a wheelchair
● Several wheelchair-accessible tables
● Good lighting and space
● Employees trained to help individuals with various disabilities
● Exit signs at floor level
● Clean flooring with minimal tripping hazards
We found a few areas where accessibility could be improved:
● Electric ADA door openers for the bathrooms and entry doors, especially since the entry doors are so heavy and employees are not always able to assist
● Addition of a second ramp exit space for handicap parking
Once again, we would like to express our gratitude for allowing us access for this assignment, especially during these interesting times. The staff members were accommodating and provided a positive and pleasant experience. Due to the high level of ADA compliance, we would recommend this establishment. Thank you!
Sincerly,
