It's illegal for a restaurant service fee to exceed 15% of the meal fee. Catering operators charge service fees, which are within the range of market-regulated prices. At present, there are no laws and regulations that cannot be charged, but consumers must be informed and clearly marked before eating. If it is not informed in advance and the price is clearly marked, it is suspected to constitute a price violation that is not clearly marked. Consumers can keep relevant evidence and actively report complaints to 12315. The market supervision department will check according to the law and safeguard the legitimate price rights and interests of consumers.

Precautions

Legally speaking, the Consumer Law stipulates that consumers have the right to fair trade, and one of the contents of fair trade right is that the price is fair and reasonable. Basically, hotels charge extra according to the actual situation, but how to judge whether the price is fair and reasonable is another complicated problem, because the catering industry is a low-threshold and fully competitive industry, and the price is regulated by the market and set by the operators themselves, and the final price composition is mostly the result of market competition.
