usually if bring helper to chinese restaurant, we just use a small plate and put some dishes for her, so not much additional cost, maybe just need to order drinks for her. but if go to those individual type, like jap will have to order a bento set for her. so need to pay about extra $15. think per month eating out cost abt $100
I know of someone who will ask her helper to eat at foodcourt and they wait for her at the restaurant.
other cost which I think is "invisible" is the replacement of stuff at home. with a helper, somehow the life of vacumn cleaner, rice cooker, washing machine, broom, mop are much shorter.
