As of July 1, the Honest Pricing Law (SB 478) makes it illegal for most businesses to disguise the true price of their goods or services in hidden fees. Simply put: the price you see, is the price you pay.

"California lawmakers fast-track restaurant exemption to hidden fees law" by Dan Walters (@DanCALmatters@twitter.com) in CalMatters https://calmatters.org/commentary/2024/06/california-restaurants-hidden-fees-law/
I've been following the developments around #SB478 since restaurants started complaining about the AG's guidance FAQ from May, and I truly do not understand why they believe they deserve this special treatment. (Okay, I know why they're *advocating* for this treatment, but the arguments themselves don't make a lot of sense.) Yes, we know restaurants have thin margins and high labor costs, but the way to respond to increased costs is to raise prices (gasp!), just like virtually every other business does.
