Chef to diners: Clean your plate or be banned!
Australian eatery owner also levies extra charges on wasteful patrons

Chef Yukako Ichikawa has introduced a 30 percent discount for diners who eat all the food they have ordered at Wafu, her 30-seat restaurant in the Sydney suburb of Surry Hills, that describes itself as "guilty free Japanese cuisine."

While this makes sense in terms of costs, I foresee her losing more than she gains with this one. If anything, they should automatically box leftovers for customers.
