When there is a dinner with friends or a family reunion, many people will also choose to eat in a restaurant. Compared with cooking at home, the restaurant not only has a good environment, but also has a rich range of dishes, and the most important thing is that you don't have to clean up after cooking, which also saves a lot of time costs. But many friends don't know that in fact, there are some things that can be taken away after eating, and it is really a loss if you don't take them away. Let's take a look at five things you can take with you.
1. Tableware.
Many people don't know that in fact, the tableware in the restaurant can also be taken home. Because many restaurants use disposable tableware, and we pay the use fee to the hotel before using these tableware. And after we are done, these dishes will be cleaned up by the restaurant staff. If you feel that the quality of disposable tableware is better, you can also choose to take them away.
2. Leftovers.
What if we order a lot of food and don't want to waste it? Many people's first instinct is to take it home and eat it, which is actually a good idea. Even if you don't take it home, the restaurant may dump the leftovers in the trash, so it's better to go home and eat them yourself than to waste them!
3. Gifts or vouchers.
In order to attract customers and return customers, some hotels will also give out gifts or vouchers to customers when they settle the bill. In fact, these things can be taken away directly, and most of the vouchers can be directly deducted from the meal cost at the next meal, which is relatively cost-effective. However, these vouchers basically have a time limit, and in order to facilitate their use, you also need to ask the waiter about the precautions and expiration time, so as to avoid embarrassing situations.
4. Special side dishes or seasoning packets.
Sometimes when we go to a restaurant to eat, we will also see those special dishes or seasoning packets placed in the restaurant. If it feels more to your taste, you can also talk to the waiter and pack these things. In fact, many restaurants will not charge any additional fees for packing these things, but some will charge extra. So you should ask the waiter if you need to charge before packing.
5. Invoice.
For those who do business, many will ask for an invoice when eating out. As we all know, food and beverage invoices are included in our expenses, so that the purpose of tax deduction can be achieved. Since many invoices are now e-invoices, we only need to leave the company's name, tax number, and email number at the front desk. After the front desk is opened, the invoice will be automatically sent to our mailbox.
Compared with paper invoices, this kind of electronic invoice will also be more convenient, in addition, some paper invoices are also prone to the problem of loss, once lost, you need to return to the hotel, ask the hotel owner to help you reopen. Because the boss also needs to pay taxes for invoicing, if the relationship with the hotel owner is better, or the invoice amount is relatively small, the boss is willing to reopen, but if the invoice amount is relatively large, this needs to make up the tax to the boss.
