Is it true that a restaurant owner can make diners pay off their tab by washing dishes? Unlike many other industries, payment for food service generally works on the “honor system,” meaning patrons are generally not expected to pay until the end of the meal.

Sitting Inventory Sitting bar inventory can often be overlooked as profitable products that are waiting to be sold.
