No, it isn't $1/check, it's a percentage of the total most places. We paid a mandatory 3.5% surcharge at one upper end place recently. Personally, I find tacking it on separately both deceitful and annoying; it is a part of the cost of doing business for a restaurant in SF under the new law, and should be included in the price listed on the menu.
