Is it illegal for restaurants to charge service fees for their own drinks?

Legal analysis: It is illegal for restaurants to collect service charges for drinks brought by themselves. You can tell consumers in advance that there is a service charge. If it is reasonable and acceptable, customers can choose this service. If it is unreasonable, consumers have the right to choose to use the drinks in the hotel or choose other hotels. Because the catering industry is a fully competitive non-monopoly industry, restaurants rely on high-quality dishes, excellent services and preferential prices to obtain good social and commercial reputation. Consumers can choose where they think the price and service are consistent and acceptable, which is completely free to choose.

Legal basis: Article 26 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Consumers' Rights and Interests (1) Where a business operator uses standard clauses in business activities, it shall draw consumers' attention to the quantity and quality, price or expenses, time limit and method of performance, safety precautions, risk warning, after-sales service, civil liability and other matters of great interest to consumers in a conspicuous way, and explain them according to the requirements of consumers;

(2) An operator shall not make unfair and unreasonable provisions to consumers, such as excluding or restricting consumers' rights, reducing or exempting operators' responsibilities, and aggravating consumers' responsibilities, by means of format clauses, notices, statements, shop notices, etc., and shall not use format clauses and technical means to force transactions;

(3) format clauses, notices, statements, shop notices, etc. that contain the contents listed in the preceding paragraph are invalid.
