NYC restaurant fee?
The restaurant business is a tough one, especially in New York City, where everything from rent to labor costs more, and owners struggle to maintain talent in the kitchen. Some city restaurateurs are pushing for the right to charge diners an administrative fee to better compensate cooks and other back-of-the-house staff. Right now those fees are prohibited by the Department of Consumer Affairs.
