Many parents have been researching and reading rules for eating in restaurants with young children, but an Italian restauranteur, Antonio Ferrari, has been inspired to implement an effective rule to reining in rowdy children in public restaurants: reward diners with well-behaved children with 5% discounts.

Offering restaurant diners 5 percent discount on their purchases may not seem like much to some people, but it is an incentive that many parents would like to consider as a factor to managing rambunctious kids. For instance, some researchers have carried out several studies on the value of rewarding children with treats to encourage them to put on their best behaviors in public and when visitors are around.
