Niall Duffy says it can have an impact on restaurants that customers may not expect
A Belfast chef has revealed the impact customers bringing their own birthday cake to restaurants can have on a restaurant.
Speaking to Belfast Live, the chef said he will now be charging customers £2 a head when they bring in their own birthday cakes in order to cover the costs faced by his restaurant when they do so.Niall said: "We have decided to introduce what we are calling a 'cakage charge' as a way of ensuring that we are able to cover costs when a group of customers bring in their own cake for a birthday celebration, similar to what restaurants with a bring your own bottle policy do.
"I know that this may not be popular for some but it is about looking after our business and ensuring that we are able to cover our costs and I believe that this is a very fair way in doing so.
