Restaurant hands out cards telling kids how to behave

“Children don’t run around the restaurant. They don’t scream, throw tantrums or touch the walls, murals, windows or other patrons!”

A restaurant in Texas is hoping to stop naughty behaviour by giving parents with kids a rule card about proper table manners.

Cuchara, a Mexican restaurant in Houston, Texas, has been handing out the illustrated cards to families as they come in.

“Children at Cuchara don’t run or wander around the restaurant. They stay seated and ask their parents to take them to the rest room. They don’t scream, throw tantrums or touch the walls, murals, windows or other patrons. They are respectful!” the card reads.

The move comes after the restaurant suffered $1500 in damage after a child scratched one of its walls featuring hand painted murals by Mexico City artist Cecilia Beaven.

The restaurant isn’t trying to discourage parents from bringing in their kids but they do want diners to be mindful of how their children behave, reports KHOU.
