Such rules are very commonly signposted <https://my-test-11.slatic.net/p/ba84ad2af62a135946bbae2783e22c29.png> in establishments all over southeast asia and likely also in other parts of the world. Besides restaurants and cafes there are also cinemas, resorts and tourism accommodations that have similar policies which may be signposted or not.

Other than the obvious yes/no we should also have a value to indicate that a place generally allows outside food but charges a fee for bringing particular items.

Off the top of my head I'd propose something like:
outside_food=yes/corkage/no + outside_food:signed=yes/no

Best,
Timmy

Hi,

in my opinion such tagging would only make sense if these rules were signposted at the restaurant.

In the restaurants that I frequent, what you describe would basically mean a prior phone call - hey, we're booking a table for dinner for 6, but one person has to bring their own food, is that ok - and they would then say yes or no and it would totally depend on how busy they are, whether you are a frequent customer, whom you're speaking to and whether they like your voice. Extrapolating from such an instance to some form of general claim that things are always like this at this restaurant would certainly be wrong.

And I've never seen a restaurant where they signposted that their policy was that you can bring your own food. Except of course old-style Biergartens in Bavaria.

Bye
Frederik
