In the Song Dynasty, the development of restaurants was really good, and the total income of restaurants in the Song Dynasty reached one-fifth of the finance in the Song Dynasty, from which we can believe how high the income of restaurants in the Song Dynasty was. Moreover, the policy of the Song Dynasty to the people was much looser than that of the Tang Dynasty. People can come out at night, and the night market is developing better and better. Moreover, how prosperous the restaurants in the Song Dynasty were, we can also see some clues from novels such as Water Margin. The rulers of Song Dynasty paid more attention to people's personal freedom. In the Tang dynasty, people were not allowed to come out at night, but in the Song dynasty, it was different. The night market in Song Dynasty was very lively. Especially in the capital of song dynasty, the catering industry there is really developed. Some restaurants are very big, which can accommodate about 2,000 people at ordinary times, and the restaurants there are very late, even all night. In that case, there are still very many people there. Restaurants can stay open all night. You can imagine how good their business is.

Moreover, in the Song Dynasty, hotels were not exclusive to the rich. As long as you like, as long as you have some money, there are different grades of restaurants for you to consume. Rich people can go to those big hotels, while ordinary people can save some money to go to small restaurants to eat some side dishes, drink some wine and have fun. So you can go to restaurants with different consumption levels, and there are many levels of restaurants, which can ensure that people from all walks of life have a place to spend.

There were many restaurants in the Song Dynasty, and the business was very good. Because these restaurants have better decoration and superior environment, they can attract more guests, and the food and drinks in the restaurants are delicious, so there are more people going to eat and drink. There are all kinds of services in restaurants. As long as you have money, you can enjoy better service in it. Therefore, there are many kinds of restaurants in the Song Dynasty, and the degree of luxury is from low to high. What kind of luxury you can enjoy at what economic level depends on the money in your pocket.
