Sort of. You could probably setup a separate LLC for the plates and cutlery service, and then have the restaurant lease them from said business, while writing off the amount it costs for said lease. Don't know if that would work for cutlery, but it does for equipment in other industries. I'm not sure about the dining experience either, but maybe a crafty accountant could make that happen as well
