Many restaurants consider that an ounce of five ounces or eight ounces to be standard. (In some restaurants, you even choose between the two.)In a smaller glass, a seam of five or eight ounces would make the glass more powerful, while a much larger glass bowl naturally makes the glass appear more empty. This can deliver the perception of a modest paid inside the glass, which can encourage the consumer to invite the server to keep it coming.
