Quebec restaurant owners can now charge a fee to people who make a reservation but don’t show up.

Under new rules in effect on Thursday, restaurants can charge up to $10 for each no-show.

An association representing Quebec restaurant owners has estimated that no-shows cost the average eatery about $49,000 per year.
