adjl 02/22/21 1:59:50 PM #60:	Mead posted... appetizers and desserts are usually pretty high too At least with desserts, there's actually some room to justify pricing them so high. They often require different skill sets and ingredients from the rest of the menu, are at an increased risk of spoilage due to being ordered less frequently, and slow down turnover pretty considerably when tables order them (hence servers always push tea/coffee with dessert, which are incredibly high-margin items). A lot of places just don't offer dessert at all because of how bothersome it is, so I can understand those that do pricing it high to offset that hassle. That said, knowing that doesn't stop me from looking at dessert menus and saying "I could make that entire cake for less than what they're charging for a slice." --- This is my signature.

It can be really frustrating because even restaurants that have a tip sharing system often exclude cooks and servers share their tips with bussers, the host/hostess, and maybe dishwashers.

Eat Man 02/22/21 2:53:35 PM #67:	The owners should be able to use the data available to determine what surcharge would cover the gap most accurately over a pay period. We'd need to see the data to day for sure if that's all they're doing or are trying to profit off this. Either way it's up to the free market to determine if your food is worth any up charge at all. On one hand I totally understand how crazy difficult it can be to keep a business running. On the other hand I've anecdotally gotten tired of small businesses, especially restaurants, acting like they're owed something by nature of existence. Most restaurants serve average to below aversge food and then charge obscene prices for it. They SHOULDNT survive tbh and its not because of politics.
