Even cleverer: the way the meal was marketed. Diners pay the base price, plus the cost of whatever dishes they eat.

Cyclists on the path are never out of sight of the islands' clear waters, craggy bluffs and white-roofed cottages. Bike rentals cost about $10 per day or $50 per week; at some hotels, they are free.
