The service fee in Turkish restaurants is charged illegally

Mukahit Sarachli, vice-president of the TUKONFED Legal Commission, said that restaurants and other catering establishments do not have the right to charge the so-called service fee, which restaurant workers have increasingly included in the bill lately. "If you see the "service fee" item in the invoice, you have every right not to pay it, and also file a complaint by calling Alo 175 or on the website of the Unfair Competition Council of the Ministry of Commerce," Sarachly explained.
