New Proposed Rule Would Ban Service Fees, Surcharges Nationwide

New Proposed Rule Would Ban Service Fees, Surcharges Nationwide 

Federal regulators have proposed a national ban on common service fees and surcharges restaurants and hotels use.  

The Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) proposed rule could force operators of all sizes to rewrite compensation models, increase prices, and overhaul established business practices. The FTC admits it would cost restaurants at least $3.5 billion to comply with their plan.  

The National Restaurant Association and the American Hotel & Lodging Association are working in Washington to resist this regulatory overreach, but the FTC needs to hear from operators like you.
