Anyone who hands in their smartphone will now receive a free bottle of red wine at a restaurant in Verona (Northern Italy). 90 percent of guests would take advantage of the offer, says the owner of Ristorante Al Condominio.
The condition for this is that guests leave their mobile phone in a cupboard at the entrance before eating. After visiting the restaurant you can pick it up again there. “There is no reason to check your phone every five seconds. For some people it is like medicine. This gives them the opportunity to put it aside and drink a good wine,” said innkeeper Angelo Lella about his offer.
According to him, 90 percent of guests already use the option. Other restaurants in Italy have been handing out vouchers for some time to people who voluntarily give up their mobile phones.
