The cost of employing staff isn't related to the cost of what people eat - it's a function of how long the restaurant is open and how busy it is. It doesn't make sense that I pay more for the staff if I order a £40 bottle of wine versus a £20 bottle. If you're going to make customers pay separately like this,it should be a cover charge per head
