indemnité d\'utilisation
French to English
Bus/Financial
Business/Commerce (general)
This is from the articles of incorporation for an association that manages an Interoffice Restaurant. From the context, it seems that "indemnité" must mean "fee," but I am not familiar with that use of the word.
Dans le cadre des capacités d’accueil du Restaurant Interentreprises, le représentant du propriétaire pourra autoriser l’admission des membres extérieurs à l’Ensemble immobilier X en qualité de membres extérieurs de l’Association. Le Président de l’Association étant informé de cet accord avant l’usage effectif du RIE.
Les membres extérieurs seront redevables d’une indemnité d'utilisation décidée en Assemblée Générale.

Here's a previous question about "indemnité", where it's (rightly, in my opinion) translated as "fee":
http://www.proz.com/kudoz/french_to_english/real_estate/4900...
And this gives 'break/termination fee" for 'indemnité de rupture":
http://books.google.com/books?id=4jwKtsLIvZcC&pg=PA295&lpg=P...
You could also say "charge", of course.

French term (edited):
indemnité d'utilisation
admission charge
or
non-member [admission] charge
or you could always simply use the literal translation
"compensation [to pay] for using the restaurant"
nothing wrong with it - expect sounding slightly odd...
the right choice of term would also depend on this "indemnité d'utilisation" being due on each visit to the restaurant [kind of "admission charge"], or being due annually [in form of an annual "guest membership"]

: Over-interpretation: we don't know for sure this is actually a charge for 'admission'; depends how it is levied. Note these are members of an 'association' / E.g. 10% on price of food.

I can't see how you could "use" a restaurant if they don't let you in, I never managed it so far ...

entry fee
It seems that this is a posh private restaurant for insiders where you can meet people for networking and deals, etc., and if you want to bring people from outside the company you have to pay some fee.
So ... I'm looking for something that doesn't sound like what you pay when you go to the movies or bank charges, and think this is a small improvement in that regard.
But ... I think there's an even better word that does say "usage" or "entry" or anything at all like that, but speaks more to the (supposed?) privilege of being allowed in. And even if it's not that posh or anything, probably the translator's client would be happy with something that made it sound that way.

the explanation is over-interpretation, but not the proposed answer. Of the three answers, however, only "user fee" is consistent with them paying the listed price, as compared to, say, a flat rate to enter.
