1. Transparent and reasonable: If the restaurant chooses to charge for paper towels in the process of providing services and goods, then this part of the cost needs to be clearly informed to consumers and the price should be reasonable. If the restaurant does not fully inform consumers of the charging standard, or deliberately sets a high price, it may constitute a violation of the price law.
2. The law stipulates that according to the Price Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the prices of goods and services should be reasonable, open and transparent, and shall not harm the interests of consumers. If a merchant fails to fully inform consumers of the charging standard or deliberately sets a high price when selling paper towels, it may constitute a violation of the price law. At the same time, the "Price Law" also clearly stipulates that operators should clearly mark prices when selling, buying goods and providing services.
3. Contractual relationship: When customers go to the hotel for consumption, they form a service contractual relationship with the hotel. The main contractual obligation of the hotel is to provide catering products and services, and it is the customer's right to enjoy services, including the use of sterilized tableware and paper towels. Therefore, providing paper towels is part of the hotel's contractual obligations. Unless otherwise specified, the catering fee must include the tableware fee.
