The fee is listed under HEALTH which the restaurant is trying to recoup because big San Francisco government is mandating what they offer in Health Care over and above what other cities and county's require. This extra expense is being passed on to the consumer or at least they are trying to pass it on. My guess it calling it a Health fee is more of a protest. They could just raise the cost of the food to cover the expense but then the patrons would just think they were raising the prices.

It's just another example of what happens when the government tries to help us and save us money requiring businesses to do extra anything. They pass it on to the consumer or pack up shop and leave which costs jobs.

They just don't get the fact that business owners are not always fat cats stowing away piles of money. Eventually ALL of these services the government puts in place for our so called benefit cost US the taxpayers money. There is no secret money tree where these services are magically paid for...Oh yeah. It's called the treasury department.
