Some of the big chains like McDonald's, Applebee's, Chili's, Green Mill, etc. have standardized braille menus that are supposed to be distributed to all of their locations. Sometimes they get thrown out, or the employees don't know about them. Independent restaurants sometimes hire a local transcriber. My personal preference is just to have my dining companion read the menu out loud to me if the print is too small or the lighting is bad. If I'm dining with other visually impaired people, the waiter/waitress is usually willing to read the menu to us. At fast food restaurants, I usually order the same thing every time so it doesn't matter as much.
