“We looked at various ways we could encourage people to engage more at the dinner table, and we’ve found giving families the chance to part with their devices for a mere couple of hours is a great way to bring them closer and embrace family time,” Frankie and Benny’s spokesperson was quoted in a report.

The restaurant says that “No Phone Zone” campaign’s goal is to promote celebrating time with friends and family.

“Our staff will be actively encouraging customers and families to take part in the initiative but of course, we can’t force them to hand over their phones. If the initiative is a success we’ll certainly be looking at ways to activate it on a more permanent basis,”
