But when you land on their website, you face the first snag: need help finding a menu. After searching, the menu is in a sidebar menu and difficult to navigate on the small screen on your phone.

So will you pinch and zoom on different parts of the screen to try to read that menu? Or do you give up and look for a different restaurant?
