however, if the employee damages the expensive tableware during the correct operation, the employee will compensate for the loss by 61% of the purchase price. These tableware must contain natural breakage. There is no natural damage, such as porcelain. This is relatively fair to employees and enterprises. However, the general catering industry, where stainless steel is unbreakable, takes three thousandths of the turnover of the month as the tableware loss fee, and the enterprise bears the responsibility and is unbreakable. The loss of tableware is also the cost after counting the damaged and lost tableware according to the purchase price.

The method of safeguarding the rights of the catering industry to collect tableware fees: It is the obligation of the merchants to provide clean and sterilized tableware, and this obligation should not be passed on to consumers. It is not allowed for the merchants to ask for tableware fees.

if the restaurant charges tableware fees compulsorily while eating, please keep the voucher and call "12315" immediately, or go to the nearest industrial and commercial office to make a complaint and report. If the situation is true, the industrial and commercial department will punish it according to law. Minimum consumption, private room fee, service fee, etc., are common special charges outside the price in the catering industry and have become the practice of the industry; These charges are often not told to consumers in advance, which makes consumers deceived.

According to the Consumer Law, the "minimum consumption, private room charge and service charge" unilaterally stipulated by restaurants are equivalent to special charges, and specific items and standards must be disclosed in the store, otherwise, it is becoming more and more common that consumers' fair trade rights are violated and restaurants charge extra tableware disinfection fees. According to the relevant laws and regulations, it is the legal obligation of catering operators to ensure the safety of consumers' meals.

Among them, dining safety should include food, environment, tableware and the health of service personnel. Some catering operators outsource "tableware cleaning and disinfection" business, and then pass the related costs on to consumers, and some even make more profits from it. According to the disclosure of relevant departments, the free tea given by some restaurants is actually "low-grade tea", which not only contains excessive pesticide residues and heavy metals, but also contains a lot of dust, so consumers should carefully identify it before drinking. It is understood that an important source of "low-grade tea" is the crushed powder screened during the renovation of old tea in tea farms, which is actually "leftovers". Some people specially buy these tea scraps, sell them to tea wholesale markets or tea shops, and finally flow into the catering sector.
