Entry of children below 15 years banned in restaurants, owner's decision sparks new debate

The impact of the controversy was also visible on the online rating of the restaurant. According to Christine, she started being given one-star reviews on social media and online platforms. Some people also lodged complaints like food-related illness and poor service, even though dine-in service had not started at the restaurant at that time.

Christine shared screenshots of such reviews on Facebook and demanded their removal. He told that during his experience in the restaurant industry, he has seen many times that the noise of small children causes trouble to other customers. Some customers have even demanded to sit away from children or not get tables near them.

Will be able to order food from takeaway

Christine told that her restaurant has a seating capacity of about 30 people. Light lighting and a calm atmosphere have been maintained here. There is no special arrangement for children’s play or entertainment. For this reason they have decided to ban dine-in for children below 15 years of age.

However, families with children below 15 years of age can order food through takeaway from the restaurant. That means they have not been stopped from buying food, but they will not be able to sit and eat food with their children.

This matter has also reached the Manitoba Human Rights Commission. According to Christine, she was told that evidence of actual harm or mental distress could be important in investigating a discrimination complaint.

Despite opposition, Christine remains firm on her decision.

Despite continuous criticism, Christine has not shown any signs of changing her decision. She says that due to this rule some customers may stay away from her, but she wants to maintain the same kind of atmosphere in her restaurant which she has imagined.

Meanwhile, the trend of providing services and experiences only for adults is also in the news. JetBlue and Virgin Voyages also offered a special chartered flight experience from New York to Fort Lauderdale for travelers over the age of 18, the ‘New York Post’ reported.
