Background
Stop restaurants and hospitality companies from adding service charge to our bill this is unfair, we believe this is a hidden charge which is adding 10%-20% to our bill it is not right to do, it is another tax added on the consumer shoulder.
it is not right they display a price and at the end they add service charge.
many consumers stop going to restaurants because of service charge and this will affect business a long terms
