When choosing a hotel, you should know the corresponding service items and service scope provided by the hotel to consumers in advance, and make clear the charging standards, including whether to bring your own drinks, whether there are service fees, festival fees, parking fees, bottle opening fees, etc. When booking a New Year's Eve dinner, don't be confused by the name of the dish. Before ordering, you should know the name, ingredients and weight of the dish in detail, and ask about the meal time and the liability for breach of contract. Rational consumers should go to the hotel in person, learn more about the dining environment and service scope, and ensure that consumers order their food in place.
Second, don't trust the verbal promises of merchants.
Consumers should try to sign a written agreement with the merchants. Even if there is no formal agreement, a simple ordering contract can be used as a basis for safeguarding rights. The reservation contract shall include the number of tables, the location of private rooms and banquets, the opening and closing time of seats, and the payment of deposit. Consumers should clearly mark the food quality, meal time, liability for breach of contract, etc., so as to seek compensation through legal channels when problems arise.
Three, advance payment, to distinguish between "deposit" and "deposit", and agreed in writing.
If it is a "deposit", it has the function of advance payment. If the consumer cancels the reservation, the catering unit shall return it; If consumers or businesses breach the contract, they can ask for the return through negotiation and mediation. If it is "down payment", according to the relevant laws and regulations, "down payment" has a guarantee function, and the amount shall not exceed 20% of the total price. If it is a deposit, the cost is generally 30% of the total consumption. If the consumer defaults, the deposit will be "swallowed up" by the merchant in full; If the merchant breaches the contract, it should be returned to the consumer in double according to law. If the hotel does not inform the customer to cancel the dinner unilaterally, a deposit from double indemnity is required.
Fourth, look at the bill before you settle the bill.
Some restaurants will add some inexplicable dishes or other charging items when they check out. For example, there are three and a half copies in the jiaozi that consumers want when they check out; After the settlement, I was told that napkins and tableware were charged separately. Therefore, consumers must develop the good habit of "reading the bill before paying the bill" to ensure that their rights and interests are not harmed. Pay attention to whether the transaction is successful when spending by credit card. If the cashier tells you that the transaction is unsuccessful and swipes the card several times, it is recommended that the consumer check the consumption amount at the corresponding bank as soon as possible.
Finally, I wish the landlord a happy New Year, an auspicious Year of the Rabbit and a happy New Year's Eve!
