Restaurant fines diners for leftovers

A restaurant in Saudi Arabia is charging customers if they fail to finish their meals. The severity of the fine depends on how much food is left over.

Marmar Restaurant in Dammam started the initiative to counter food wastage and discourage extravagant orders, reports Gulf News.

Restaurant owner Fahad Al Anezi told local media: "There are many clients who make large orders to impress the people around them and boost their social prestige."

He also claimed that the idea has been well-received.
