Rising food prices and operating expenses are affecting restaurants, prompting some to find new ways to manage costs. One approach being used is adding a surcharge to certain transactions. A 3.5% card surcharge has been introduced by a restaurant in response to increasing expenses.

This move is intended to offset costs without raising menu prices across the board. Further details about this development are available from the source, which reports on the challenges faced by restaurants due to rising costs and their efforts to adapt to these changes.
