I saw a great solution to the over-eating problem in one sushi spot in Italy. Not exactly a buffer, but you could pay upfront and order as much as you want per person. The caveat is that you can only order four servings at once and you pay the full a'la carte price for everything you hadn't fully eaten.
- whorleater 7y agoThis is the case with all you can eat sushi places in the US as well
- paulpauper 7y agothen why not make multiple small trips?
- smokey_the_bear 7y agoThey also serve a much higher ratio of rice to fish than a typical sushi restaurant
- owl57 7y agoyou pay the full a'la carte price for everything you hadn't fully eaten I've heard of a game in university: two players take their meals in the cafeteria, the one with the more expensive lunch wins, the other one pays for both. Rules: you must eat everything and you take only one portion of anything (this is not a caviar-eating contest).
- joegahona 7y agoInteresting exercise, but why not just throw the uneaten food under the table, or covertly take it to the restroom and toss it in the toilet?
- lotsofpulp 7y agoThe purpose is to incentivize people to think twice about what they are ordering and how much they can eat, not to prevent people who are already intent on abusing the system. For that, you simply have to observe and ban people.
