Some Minneapolis Restaurants Adding Fee To Fund Health Care

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Starting Friday, a number of Minneapolis restaurants will include an extra fee with your meal to fund health care.

Barbette, the Bryant Lake Bowl and the Bird are just a few of Kim Bartmann's restaurants. She's adding a 3 percent service charge to customer's checks to offset the rising cost of healthcare for her employees.

It comes to 60 cents for every $20 spent.

Health and dental benefits have been part of Bartmann's business for many years.
