Several restaurants in a Florida chain are asking customers to help foot the bill for Obamacare.
Diners at eight Gator's Dockside casual eateries are finding a 1% Affordable Care Act surcharge on their tabs, which comes to 15 cents on a typical $15 lunch tab. Signs on the door and at tables alert diners to the fee, which is also listed separately on the bill.

Clark (edit: their director of operations) is not sure how much the company is spending on compliance, but estimates that it will cost $500,000 a year to extend insurance to its full-time hourly restaurant workers. The surcharge may bring in about $160,000 a year, she hopes.
So there, in a nutshell, is how much Obamacare is increasing costs for this particular business. A little over a 3% surcharge on your meal would over their health care costs, or somewhere around fifty cents on your $15 tab.
