In this restaurant, guests’ smartphones are placed in a safe before dinner: “I often hear, Mom, can you put that phone away?”

Since this week, guests at a restaurant in Aalten have been depositing their smartphones in a safe before dinner. There is no longer any option for scrolling while eating. It is used extensively. “It is of course voluntary. We see that there is more real connection at the table,” says owner Wesley Hüning.
