Your hours, address, or phone number saved as an image

Hours, address, and phone number baked into an image are invisible to screen readers and impossible to copy, search, or tap to call.

The choice you’re proud of

Your hours, address, or phone number saved as an image

What it actually is

A JPEG or PNG with the words baked into the picture instead of typed as text — and no alt text behind it for a screen reader to read.

Who it shuts out

Same as a picture of a menu: a screen reader reads an image as nothing, so a blind guest can't get your hours, can't get your address, and can't tap a phone number to call. Nobody can copy it or search it. The details people need most to actually reach you are the ones locked inside the image.
