San Francisco Dining In Charge

In an effort to improve transparency and our success as a small business in the Bay Area we have made some changes to our overall business model. One of these changes is our 10% Dining In Charge.

This charge is representative of the true cost of dining inside of a restaurant. It helps us pay a living wage to our employees as well as use the best products that are grown locally. It also helps us run a profitable and sustainable business that we hope can be there to feed our community for many years to come.

Thank you for dining with us and supporting the ideals and integrity that we all share.

Is this like the Chimes East “dine in charge” after 8pm?


Per Superior menu

quote:

A late night service charge of 18% will be added to all tickets after 9pm.


Also a auto gratuity charge on to go orders and parties of 6 or more

Negative.. Nothing to let you know of the fee. I checked as I was walking out. Saw a friend and his wife eating there. Same thing on their bills.


Was it the same exact amount or was it the same 18%?

Umm, that’s what the prices on your menu are for. Seems like lazy owners/managers not wanting to charge the correct amount for their menu items. Hell, I’ll cut your grass for $10 in the summer but I’m charging a summer heat fee of 500%. But my price is only $10!

I would assume it's for today.

I've never seen that charge before.

The hamburgers are stupid expensive. Ordering a la carte is the only way to not get bent over in there

I noticed I was charged $19 for a large strawberry margarita in a styrofoam cup


$19 for a large marg is why I won’t go there any time except Happy Hour. I would definitely have asked about the dine in charge.

The dine in charge wasn’t your fault either. also, all you had to do was ask for the manager to handle the issue and let her go about her job.

If I'm paying $18 for a burger, I expect an orgasm with it.

I called in a to-go pick up order from superior and after I placed the order in the phone the employee said there is a 15%
to-go fee.

Not going to lie, it affected my tip. Just gave $1. Not a fan of being nickeled and dimed.

If nothing else at least they were up front with the fee.

So they penalize you 15% for ordering to-go, but also charge you 18% to dine in.

Also, I bought a gallon of margs from legends for $40.

I couldn't even find a parking spot for Max Fitness. For some reason, BR folks love that place.

It's definitely sticker shock but I will defend that price. Go into any cocktail bar anywhere and get a drink that size and it will be well over $20. No one has a problem going into any cocktail bar in BR or Nola and spending $12 on a cocktail that wouldn't fill up half of that large margarita cup.

Saying that, the place is super expensive and they need to reel in the unnecessary nickel and dime shite

Yea $19 for a large marg is no issue assuming they still live up to the superior name

Paid $18 for on ok regular one at House of Blues last night. Gladly would have paid an extra dollar for a Superior marg

I reckon the free unlimited chips and salsa is baked into their pricing

Would people pay less for drink and food if it meant you had to pay for chips n salsa? Chips and salsa are probably 6 figure line items with the business Superiors do. Customer is paying for it one way or another
