Restaurants now ban phones to encourage conversation and focus

Restaurants now ban phones to encourage conversation and focus

More restaurants and bars are now discouraging or banning phones to help people enjoy themselves without distraction. Some places, like Antagonist in Charlotte, North Carolina, require customers to put phones in a locked pouch. Others, such as Al Condominio in Verona, Italy, offer a free bottle of wine if diners surrender their devices.
