Mumbai Hotel Asks Diners to Sign Disclaimer Before Taking Leftover Food Home

Mumbai Hotel Asks Diners to Sign Disclaimer Before Taking Leftover Food HomePreviousNext

A viral social media post claims Mumbai's ITC Maratha hotel requires diners to sign a disclaimer before taking leftover food home. The document states that only freshly prepared à la carte dishes, not buffet items, qualify for takeaway, which is limited to individual diners. It advises consuming the food within two hours or discarding it, noting the hotel is not liable for spoilage or health issues once the food leaves its premises. The policy has sparked online debate about food safety and liability.
