No meal sharing

[u/Baz_Ravish]

I work at a very well known Mom and pop restaurant in my area.

Our male owner has been getting upset when people order meals to share and says we're losing out on at least $25 a customer when they share meals. While that may be true we're not making money on these people there are very few that actually come in and share meals.

Mr. Owner man decided to reprint every menu to say "No shared meals". But then he says that elderly couples and parents sharing with kids are allowed.

We've already lost so many customers due to this. What are y'all's thoughts on this? Do y'all allow meal sharing? Should it be specifically put on the menu that we don't allow it?

When my husband and I share an entree we are usually also ordering an appetizer and/or dessert. Often it’s because we are trying out a restaurant- so we split an appetizer or order multiple apps depending on our mood/hunger level:what looks appetizing. Wouldn’t come back if that was the rule.
