Why restaurants have surcharges

Amid a citywide crackdown to prevent restaurateurs from misleading consumers, San Francisco officials have released a list of 93 business owners who collected more money in employee health care surcharges in 2011 than they spent on health care for their workers. The Chronicle obtained the list under a public records request after City Attorney Dennis Herrera announced Friday that he would be going after at least 50 San Francisco restaurants for allegedly charging diners extra fees to cover the cost of city-mandated health care for workers and then pocketing much of the money. Many restaurant owners have added a surcharge to diners' bills - either a flat fee or a percentage of the tab - to cover the increased cost of the benefits. Since restaurant rents often are based on a percentage of food and beverage sales, a surcharge doesn't inflate the revenue. Chance for correctionBut San Francisco Supervisor David Campos has said he fears some restaurant owners have used the surcharge as an excuse to line their wallets by tricking diners into believing they were contributing to worthwhile benefit plans for workers. The restaurant company reported collecting $539,806 in employee health care surcharges in 2011, but the city's labor office says it spent only $211,809 on its workers' medical needs.
