Restaurant's 90-Minute Time Limit and 'Customer Rush' Controversy

=== Restaurant's 90-Minute Time Limit and 'Customer Rush' Controversy === Many popular restaurants, cafes, and hot pot places in Taiwan commonly implement a '90-minute' or '120-minute' dining time limit, a policy that frequently sparks disputes between establishments and customers. Numerous consumers complain that meals often take 20 to 30 minutes to be fully served, severely compressing their actual dining time. Furthermore, they feel like they've 'paid to be harassed' and lack basic dignity and relaxation when the restaurant immediately urges them to pay and even clears their plates as soon as the time is up. However, restaurant operators and supporters express frustration, stating that prime locations in Taiwan have high rents and labor costs. If time isn't limited, many customers would occupy a table all day with just a drink or a meal, making it impossible for the restaurant to maintain table turnover and cover operating expenses. They also argue that the time limit is clearly posted, and customers should be aware of it before visiting. Is this a 'reasonable consideration of operating costs' or 'extreme commercialization lacking service warmth'? There's always a lack of consensus between the two sides.

Running a business might indeed be tough, but if it leaves no room to even catch your breath, it'll surely make one feel exhausted. Perhaps this is why we all need a sanctuary where we can truly let our guard down. Is this matter troubling you, or are you simply reflecting on this current situation?

It's a real dilemma, but I think the waiting time for the food should be excluded since we haven't even started eating yet.
