1. There is no charge for children of any age to eat at the buffet. Different restaurants have different regulations regarding the charge for children of any age to eat at the buffet.
It is understood that most cafeterias charge children in three levels: free, half price, and full price based on their height.
Among them, the charging standards are mostly divided between 1 meter and 1.4 meters, that is, there is no charge for items below 1 meter, half price for items between 1 meter and 1.4 meters, and full price for items above 1.4 meters.
Such as Haolunge Buffet Restaurant and Jinhans Buffet Restaurant.
However, there are also some restaurants with different standards. For example, the two standard lines for charging children at the Holy Whale Food Hall buffet restaurant are 1 meter and 1.3 meters. The Golden Leopard International Food Parkway sets the minimum limit at 0.8 meters.
This means that a child over one year old may have to pay nearly 100 yuan for meals.
There are also some restaurants with more user-friendly charging standards. The Brazilian Barbeque buffet restaurant has set a standard of half price and full price. For children who are too young, it depends on the specific situation whether it is free or charges 15 yuan for a table.
A staff member of the Shuixi branch of the Brazilian barbecue buffet restaurant said that even if the child is over 1.2 meters tall, we will reduce the price as appropriate if the child is younger.
After Jindalai Korean BBQ Buffet Restaurant established half-price and full-price charging standards based on the 1.2-meter boundary, it also made it clear that children under 2 years old are free.
Of course, each restaurant has different charging standards. There are many buffets that charge the same price regardless of children or adults.
Please check with the restaurant in advance for details.
2 Citizens’ expectations: There is a unified standard for children’s buffets. In view of the different charges for children’s buffets, the reporter randomly interviewed some citizens who took their children to eat in the cafeteria.
Parents generally believe that it is understandable for restaurants to set dining standards for children, but the standards should be more humane. It is a bit too rigid to divide children by height. Some parents suggest combining age, or simply raising the height standard.
Citizen Ms. Li's son is less than 10 years old this year and is 1.47 meters tall. Every time he eats at the buffet, he pays full price.
Ms. Zhang said: "Children today are generally taller. Several children of the same age in the community are almost this tall. My son has been eating at the buffet at full price since he was 8 and a half years old. In fact, the child is still a child after all. He mainly eats ice cream and drinks.
"You can't eat much of the food. It should be based on age, or the standard should be raised to 1.5 meters." Citizen Ms. Li's daughter is 8 years old and is 1.4 meters tall. Some restaurants offer half price, and some restaurants offer full price.
She said: "Friends often choose buffets for gatherings. My daughter can't eat anything at all every time she goes there. She spends most of her time playing. Half price is not worthwhile, let alone full price." "How to charge free and half-price tickets for children in the buffet restaurant?
The restaurant has the final say, and if you don’t eat, you will just accept it. It seems that there is no point in arguing, unless there is a unified standard like riding a car.” Ms. Wang, a citizen, said that in her impression, her son has never been able to do so.
When I started kindergarten last year, I started buying half-price tickets.
Mr. Liu, a citizen, said: “Now that living standards have improved and children are taller, the half-price standard should be raised to 1.5 meters.
