who hasn't heard of cakeage? lol i know a few years back the extended fam and i went to lungomares, that italian resturant at the bay and mum took a cake and we had to pay a minimal cakeage fee.
When i was looking at 21st venues some charged cakeage and some didn't.
I think it's justified, after all you're using their crockery and cutlery which they will have to clean and someone has to cut it up. Provided it's only like $1.50 per serve i dont have a problem with it. Although, I think it's a gesture of goodwill for a restaurant not to charge for cakeage. Conversely, if you insist on just borrowing a knife and using your guests existing plates at the table or whatever you generally wont be charged for this.
The corkage principle is the same. It's a bonus if they don't charge for it but you generally expect to have to pay it. Having said that, i don't nor do I know anyone who frequents BYO restaurants.
