Restaurant surcharges aren't leaving menus in California.Why it matters: Dining out has become more expensive for customers and restaurant owners, fueling debates about legislation aimed at eliminating vague fees tacked onto diners' bills.Driving the news: Gov. Gavin Newsom signed emergency legislation Saturday allowing restaurants and bars to charge additional fees that are "clearly and conspicuously" explained on menus and other displays.It essentially exempts eateries from the law banning "junk fees" at businesses — including ticket vendors, delivery apps and hotels — that went into effect Monday.Threat level: Restaurant owners have argued banning such surcharges would result in employee pay cuts and higher menu prices for diners.But many diners oppose such service charges. A recent San Francisco Chronicle survey found more than 81% of 1,000 respondents believe restaurant surcharges should be illegal.The bottom line: Diners can still expect to see service charges on their checks, but they shouldn't be a surprise.
