E-menus not so palatable for some customers amid price rows - Hong Kong Standard

Image
Some 30 percent of 1,500 complaints about restaurants involved disputes over price differences between what is shown on the menu and customer bills, the Consumer Council said. The watchdog said discrepancies between the printed menus and e-menus have become a common source of dispute, as contactless ordering via mobile phones rose in popularity during Covid. In one case, the e-menu stated HK$0 for the service charge, but when the diner paid the bill, she was asked to pay a 10 percent service charge. She filed a complaint to the watchdog and requested a refund. The restaurant explained to the watchdog that it has always imposed a 10 percent service charge from 6pm onwards, but this extra charge did not show up in its ordering system. The restaurant later made a refund to the complainant and said it has informed their system supplier to rectify the e-menu. The watchdog reminded the restaurant that it must display charges prominently on the menu and on any in-store signage, as well

The Simple Way To Order Starbucks' Secret Menu Mint Chip Frappuccino - Tasting Table

Image
Because peppermint is available year-round at Starbucks, you can create even more secret menu creations. For example, instead of starting with the Double Chocolaty Chip Crème Frappuccino, opt for the Vanilla Bean version and add in java chips and peppermint syrup. You won't get that vibrant green color, but you'll still get all the minty, chocolatey flavors. Or, if you really want to get fancy, try ordering this minty concoction: A grande Matcha Crème Frappuccino with one pump of classic syrup, four pumps of peppermint syrup, two pumps of mocha sauce, and a cup lined with mocha sauce. Then add three scoops of vanilla bean powder and one scoop of protein powder, and top with whipped cream. You'll get a boost of caffeine, protein, and deliciousness. When it comes to ordering custom Starbucks drinks, doing so in-person is important because the app and website don't allow for adding matcha scoops or other non-traditional add-ins.
