Is there any legal basis for a restaurant to ban outside food and alcohol?

I don't think that's right, don't bring your own alcohol and snacks", the purpose of which is to force consumers to consume only alcohol and snacks in stores that are n times more expensive than those outside when they need them. In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act. Articles 9 and 11 of the Act, such shop announcements infringe on consumers' right to make their own choices and the right to fair trade, and are therefore invalid.

Among them, Article 9 stipulates that consumers have the right to independently choose the operators who provide goods or services, to choose the varieties of goods or services, to decide whether to buy or not to buy any kind of goods, and to accept or not to accept any kind of services. Article 11 stipulates that consumers have the right to refuse the forced transaction behavior of business operators when purchasing or receiving services. In addition, according to Article 12 of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law, a business operator shall not tie in the sale of goods against the will of the purchaser or attach other unreasonable conditions. <>

Consumers have the right to choose their own goods or services. Consumers have the right to independently choose the business operators that provide goods or services, to choose the types of goods or services, to decide whether to buy or not to buy any kind of goods, and to accept or not to accept any kind of services. Consumers have the right to compare, identify and select goods or services when they choose goods or services independently.

Although it is not mandatory for customers to buy certain products, if the restaurant prohibits outside dining, it means that if the customer who is sitting in the restaurant or the customer who is about to enter the restaurant has a need for these foods, they must buy the products in the restaurant and not the products of other stores. In other words, consumers cannot "decide to buy or not to buy any kind of goods" here, so can it be considered that the restaurant has violated the consumer's right to make their own choice? Some people may question, why do you sit in someone else's restaurant if you don't buy things from restaurants?

If I have already bought the products of the restaurant, I should have the right to sit in the restaurant, and in this case, if other outside food is not allowed in, it also restricts the consumer's freedom to buy the goods from other stores. If the customer buys the food of the restaurant but does not finish eating, then the hotel has no right to drive the customer out, because the consumer has the right to choose whether to accept the service (has the right to choose whether to stay in the restaurant to finish eating) I don't know when the "no bring your own alcohol" store announcement began to prevail in the catering and entertainment industry, few people will challenge these store announcements, unconsciously, this kind of announcement seems to have established a rationality in the minds of most people, just like Lu Xun said, "There is no road in this world, When there are more people walking, it becomes a road. But is existence really justified?

Today, our attorney is challenging that rule. <>

You don't buy anything when it's open, and you pay the rent, water and electricity? Take a pillow to your house to sleep and do you receive? What kind of consumer are you if you don't consume? The operator also has the right not to receive!

I took a pillow to sleep in your house, didn't I give you money first, otherwise how could you let you go to your house to sleep.

Legal basis: Article 9 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Consumer Rights and Interests of the People's Republic of China Consumers enjoy the right to choose goods or services independently. Consumers have the right to choose the variety of goods or services to be provided in their own way, and to decide whether to buy or not to buy any kind of goods, or to accept or not to accept any kind of services.
