Cover charge

A cover charge is an entrance fee sometimes charged at bars, nightclubs, or restaurants. It is collected upon entry or as an additional charge on the bill.

In restaurants, cover charges generally do not include the cost of food that is specifically ordered. In some establishments, they do include the cost of bread, butter, olives and other accompaniments, though the charge is payable whether or not they are eaten.
