Usually a 10 - 20% surcharge on Sundays supposedly to support the increased weekend wages. Some places have them for Saturdays too.

Yes Sundays and public holidays incur a extra payment for hospitality staff (15% I think). So lots of spots pass this on as a surcharge on those days. Some build it in. Its common to see a small sign on the door or at the till notifying you that you will incur this.

Yeah hospitality workers get something like time and a half on Saturdays and double time on Sundays in most industries I think.
