Sample repriced menu
This is what the $79 repricing delivers, shown for a made-up restaurant, The Imaginary Spoon (fictional sample). Every name and price on this page is fictional. Your order uses your own menu, fees and rounding.
1. The fees we were told about
| Fee | Rate | Who keeps it | What we did |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kitchen appreciation fee | 3% | kept by the house | Build into prices |
| Wellness surcharge | 2% | kept by the house | Build into prices |
| Automatic gratuity, parties of 6+ | 18% | paid in full to service staff | Keep separate; disclose the percentage |
The two house-kept fees add up to 5%, so each price is multiplied by 1.05 and rounded up to the next $0.25 (the rounding this sample restaurant chose). The 18% automatic gratuity goes entirely to staff, so under 815 ILCS 505/2MMMM(h) it stays separate, with its percentage disclosed.
