Quick Summary
This discussion explores the accounting treatment for free drink refills offered by cafes. It questions whether these should be recorded separately or included within the cost of goods sold (COGS). The consensus leans towards separate recording for better cost determination. The conversation also touches upon how restaurants account for unlimited food offers and the potential to debit the cost of materials consumed.

It's better to record separately to determine such free refill provided.
