The rule that food is not allowed to be taken away:
The state does not stipulate that restaurants are not allowed to take out food, and restaurants are not allowed to take out food. This is the overlord clause.
Some restaurants require customers not to bring their own drinks and food, which is the overlord clause. Consumers have the right to decide whether to buy drinks from catering enterprises. Operators use statements, store notices and other forms to prohibit consumers from bringing their own drinks, and can only buy drinks several times higher than the market price in the store, which infringes on consumers' right to choose independently and fair trade, and obviously does not comply with the Consumer Protection Law.
To sum up, it is illegal for restaurants to prohibit takeout. Because the terms of refusing take-out and minimum consumption are suspected of "overlord clause". Refusing to take out food violates consumers' right to choose independently and violates the provisions of the Consumer Protection Law.
