A spending limit application has been implemented in some restaurants in Istanbul. According to the application, even if only tea is consumed, a spending limit fee, which is mostly set at 1,500 TL, must be paid. A noteworthy warning regarding the issue came from İbrahim Güllü, the Deputy Chairman of TÜKONFED.

In famous holiday destinations, the "spending limit" that we are used to seeing has also started to appear in restaurants. While discussions about cover charges and service fees in restaurants continue to heat up, the "spending limit" in Turkey's most popular holiday regions has become a hot topic of conversation.

Mandatory spending limit application in restaurants! A warning has come from an authorized source

STARTED TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN SOME RESTAURANTS

Authorities have indicated a "penalty" route for businesses that demand fees that do not exist, but this has not solved the problem. This limit application, which is generally 1500 lira, has also started to be implemented in some restaurants in Istanbul. While lawyers emphasize that the obligation to pay the requested amount even for a single tea is irregular, citizens have called it "discrimination."

FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE MINISTRY OF TRADE

Speaking to a television channel about the issue, Deputy Chairman of the Consumer Confederation (TÜKONFED) Lawyer İbrahim Güllü stated, "Consumers should file a complaint with the advertising board under the Ministry of Trade to request necessary actions. At the same time, they can also file a complaint with the Turkish Human Rights and Equality Institution on the grounds that this practice is discriminatory."
