Many's the time I've been out and used my phone browser
to look up a restaurant menu only to find that it was designed
to work and/or look best on a large screen browser with Flash support!
While I would not claim that such deficiencies prevent me from eating
at the restaurants, I can definitely claim that restaurants with
easily navigable menus are more likely to get my business.
