Bring Your Own Tea

Bring Your Own Tea (BYOT) is a dining practice commonly found in the United States where customers are permitted to bring their own alcoholic beverage to the restaurant and consume it with their meal.

How it works:

Some restaurants display signs indicating they allow BYOT.

Customers bring their preferred alcoholic beverage from a store or liquor store.

They typically pay a corkage fee, which is a charge imposed by the restaurant for permitting the BYOT. The fee varies widely depending on the restaurant and the type of beverage.

The restaurant usually provides glasses and ice for guests.

Reasons for BYOT:

Cost savings
Customers can often find better deals on alcoholic beverages at stores than at restaurants.
