These fees are yet another reason why eating out has gotten more expensive.

So how much exactly are these extra fast-food service fees costing you? It's hard to say for certain, since it would depend on the restaurant. The good news is that while 13% of fast food restaurants have instituted service fees, according to the report, that means a much larger 87% have theoretically avoided them.
