Eat-in Area (イートイン - Ītoin)
A counter space inside convenience stores where customers can consume items purchased on the spot. Using this area increases the consumption tax rate to 10% (versus 8% for takeout).
With the 2019 tax reform, food for takeout is taxed at 8%, while dine-in options are taxed at 10%. Customers must inform the cashier if they intend to sit and eat inside.
Use this straightforward phrase during payment to notify the cashier that you will eat your purchased bento at the dining counter.
When you choose to eat your purchased items inside the convenience store's 'Eat-in' dining space, how does the consumption tax change?
