What’s behind the warnings of extra fees posted in the menu?
According to a recent article on IOL website, some restaurants have implemented a new measure to cut down on waste from unfinished food. Customers will now be charged a fee of up to HK$20 (that’s about US$2.50) if they leave food on their plates. The move comes as part of a plan to reduce the 700 tons of food thrown out each day by the hospitality industry.
But don’t reach for your cash just yet… The article notes that very few restaurants – if any – are actually implementing the policy in order to keep customers happy. The government is currently looking into composting as a better solution to managing waste.
