Why would restaurant owners want to risk antagonizing their customers by charging a fee that's completely unrelated to the operations of the restaurant? While the fee itself may not be onerous, it's the principle of being asked to pay more that may rub customers the wrong way. People go to restaurants to enjoy quality food and to have a good time, not to be solicited for donations, regardless of the reason.

CPT Jack Durish - They probably are doing it as a PR stunt, but I think it will backfire on them. Even if it's not about something controversial like man-made climate change, I think most people consider it unseemly for a business to solicit for donations, especially if customers have to ask for the "donation" to be removed from their bill.

I don't see California residents signing on for a voluntary tax after all of the taxes they already pay.
I predict the amount collected this way will be embarrassingly low. I look forward to seeing the results... or lack thereof.

Sorry to disappoint you but California voters overwhelmingly voted down a proposal to reverse the increase gas taxes and registration fees imposed upon us and, in the same ballot initiative, authorized more (remember, "Thank you sir, may I have another"?)

CPT Jack Durish - I'm not disappointed. California residents can vote for whatever they want. Meanwhile more and more vote with their feet and move to Nevada or Texas.
