BEIJING: A restaurant in Zhengzhou, capital of China’s Henan province, is offering a special deal to women who achieve the highest scores in terms of beauty for a free meal.
The offer, called ‘Pay by Beauty’, was launched by a restaurant specialising in ‘huoguo’ – traditional dishes – where a group of plastic surgeons selects the lucky ladies for a free lunch, the Xinhua news agency said.
To win, the contestants have to scan their faces on a machine located inside the restaurant and the image is automatically sent to a team of specialists who will score the faces according to professional patterns.
The scores can be seen by all applicants on the second floor of the restaurant where every five women who get a higher score every 30 minutes will get a free meal.
It is not the first time that a Chinese restaurant has made such offers to attract more customers.
Another restaurant in Chongqing municipality also offers customers discounts or free meals depending on their weight.
In the case of males, the greater their weight, the greater the discount, although customers who exceed 140kg will automatically receive a feast on the house.
Women, who weigh less than 34.5kg, also get the same prize.

This is unfair!Imagine the kind of feeling of rejection those who are not considered beautiful will have?It will devastate their psyche and confidence.
Wow. They are not holding back, are they? But why men are being rated higher on being fat?
Brilliant idea. Business promotion at its best. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Appreciating beauty does not mean discrimination against others. Soon the restaurant will have standing room only.
I cant believe it, is it research or discrimination?
Thats dangerously discriminating.
