A new state law mandates that required fees must be included in advertised prices, including "service fees" and other surcharges.

Restaurants will now be required to incorporate any fee they would have imposed into its menu prices on food, drinks or other things being sold.

Diners really dislike fees at restaurants, those amounts that go by various names that are tacked onto end-of-meal bills. The phenomenon has been proliferating in the last few years. In California, though, they are about to go away.

California restaurants will not be allowed to add a surcharge to their menu items or services, which experts say will lead to soaring menu prices in San Francisco.
