Indian restaurant K2H Creative in Cheshire is asking diners to pay for their meals before they sit down, following a spate of people eating and leaving without paying.
A report on Cheshire Live detailed how K2H Creative Indian Kitchen in Sandbach said it has no choice but to refuse service in future to those identified as responsible and to introduce a new payment system due to what it has labelled as ‘repeated exploitation’.
A statement on the restaurant’s Facebook page said: “Regrettably, any individuals identified from previous occasions will be respectfully refused service. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, but the repeated exploitation of our hospitality cannot be tolerated.
“In an effort to prevent further misuse of our services, we will soon be implementing a new payment system. Customers will have the option to open a tab using a card swipe or to pre-pay for their meals in cash before being served.
“We understand that this measure is a departure from the typical dining experience, but the recent events have deemed it necessary.”
The majority of people who commented on the Facebook statement said they were all in favour of the new payment system.
