The Service Charge disclosure is rigid and non inclusive of various situations. This disclosure should be able to be changed by the client. For example, a service charge is not necessarily a gratuity in that it is a service charge and should not be confused with a different term. If it's called a Service Charge, then it should be just that. This confuses the merchant and client. My client operates an entertainment restaurant that charges a service charge since they have live bands playing. They also charge a service charge to help other staffing expenses such as guaranteed wage minimum guarantees etc.. The fixed and rigid disclosure on service charges confuses the verbiage with gratuity which isn't correct.
