Of course it is, but there is currently no way to pass that on without having to change ADVERTISED prices. There is a big difference in perception for some people when it comes to a $2 beer and a $2.25 beer. All fine and dandy when you have a level playing field but now with the new craptastic system restaurants get a clear edge because everyone EXPECTS taxes on the bill there.

Imagine bartending and a guy orders a $2 Bud. He stuffs a dollar in the tip jar and hands you $2.. you gonna say "hey it's $2.16 with tax, gonna need 16 cents man." What a complete cluster****.
Your only choice is to take it in the ass and lose a couple grand a month OR raise prices overtly OR this solution which is to add the 8.25% sales tax to CC tabs because then it's seemless.
The ONLY drawback would be customer reactions to seeing the sales tax on the tab. I figure 80% of us are so trained to see sales tax that most wouldn't even notice.
