Starting July 1, 2026, businesses that charge any operations charges must disclose those charges on the food menu, written banquet, catering, or event contract, and website or mobile application where food and beverage orders are placed. The disclosure must clearly state both the amount or percentage of the operations charge and its purpose and appear in a font at least as large as menu item descriptions or the general provisions of the contract. If the business does not use menus, provide table service, or issue written event contracts, such as a food truck, the disclosure must appear in an obvious and clearly readable manner on a menu board or on a sign by the register.
