For overall results and content, grades stand at 5 for A, 30 for B, 121 for C, 74 for D, and 234 for F, making 35 scored A or B together, which is 8% of the scanned sites, while a menu or price list appears as an HTML page on 68, on the page itself on 8, on another site on 6, as a PDF on 2, and 224 have no menu or price list.

 Method

## How this page is made

Every business of the index's kind with a website of its own is scanned the same way, about once a month, and every scan is kept. This page takes the latest scan of each site before October 2026 ended, so a site fixed in the following month shows up in the following month's page, not here. A past month does not change. The assistant tables use the latest answer per business and question before the month ended.
