為了鼓勵顧客合理點餐、減少浪費，澳大利亞一家名為wafu的日本餐館推出了一項新店規：顧客用餐完畢后如果有食物剩余，將被罰款，并拒絕該顧客再次光顧。如果顧客能夠將所點食物全部吃完，將能享受全單七折的優惠。這項店規明確表示，餐館提供的食物中，除了檸檬片、壽司姜和芥末醬以外，其它的食物都應該被吃完，包括擺在盤子邊上的蔬菜和沙拉。餐館主人表示，這樣要求顧客是為了努力創造一個可持續發展的未來。

An Australian restaurateur fed up with the waste left by diners has ordered her customers to eat everything on their plates for their sake of the earth or pay a penalty and not return.

Chef Yukako Ichikawa has introduced a 30 percent discount for diners who eat all the food they have ordered at Wafu, her 30-seat restaurant in the Sydney suburb of Surry Hills, that describes itself as "guilty free Japanese cuisine."

"To contribute towards creating a sustainable future we request a little more of our guests than most other restaurants," she says in a list of her restaurant's policies that is pinned on the door to the eatery.

This list includes finishing all dishes ordered which are organic and free of gluten, dairy, sugar and eggs and the chef and her staff tell people who don't clear their plates to choose another restaurant next time.

"Finishing your meal requires that everything is eaten except lemon slices, gari (sushi ginger) and wasabi," says the menu.

"Please also note that vegetables and salad on the side are NOT decorations; they are part of the meal too."

Wafu's strict policy has been welcomed by some but criticised as overbearing by some reviewers. Ichikawa is undeterred.

"Wafu is not just a restaurant; it is an extension of Yukako's personal ethos towards nourishment and sustenance," says a statement on the restaurant's website.

"We are not only committed to serving meals that nurture and respect the body but are actively dedicated to the notion of waste prevention, and take seriously our responsibility towards the environment and sustainability for the future."
