The new restaurant rules 🍽

Heading out for a meal this weekend?

Make sure you keep the kids in tow!

Allowing children to roam freely at a restaurant is a BIG “No” for 90% of diners, according to a new study in YouGov!

Refusing to pay for a dish you didn’t like, debating prices with the staff, bringing outside food and drink in with you and snapping your fingers at waitstaff to get attention also won’t win you any friends.

What is OK?

Grabbing a doggie bag is fine along with sending back a dish not cooked properly and taking a photo of your food (because if you didn’t take a pic, did you even eat?).

What about asking for a table near an outlet to charge up your devices?

It’s *barely* acceptable…51% say go for it!
