A sushi restaurant in Gelves, Spain, has introduced a so-called "vomit fee" aimed at customers who overconsume to the point of vomiting on the premises. Sushi Toro, an all-you-can-eat establishment, announced the new policy on social media, citing an increase in incidents where patrons reportedly ate excessively and then vomited at tables or in restrooms.

The restaurant has placed signs within its premises warning diners to “please order only what you can eat” and stating that the establishment “reserves the right” to charge a cleaning fee for those who cause such messes. The fee is intended to cover the costs associated with cleaning up after patrons who have reportedly overindulged beyond their capacity.

Management attributed the policy to a rise in cases where some customers reportedly ate until they could no longer keep their food down, leading to hygiene and discomfort issues for staff and other guests. The announcement has drawn varied reactions, with some customers understanding the need for the measure to maintain cleanliness, while others have expressed concern over its perceived harshness.

No details have been provided regarding the specific amount of the charge or the enforcement criteria beyond the posted warnings. Sushi Toro’s new policy highlights broader challenges faced by all-you-can-eat establishments in balancing customer satisfaction with operational costs and maintaining a safe and pleasant environment.
