Most usually via contaminated water and food. Hep A is expelled from a host's body via faecal matter and then contracted by another via oral ingestion. This is one of many reasons for washing your hands after using the toilet, because anything you touch thereafter may be infected. This is especially relevant in food preparation but also for any amount of social contact or physical use of a common object.

Being in confined spaces with hosts (such as on a packed train) may also lead to the same situations where you are accidentally touching other people.

In places like England, where I live, Hep A isn't very common at all due to hygiene standards and water treatment, etc. But in third world countries that don't have the same facilities, it can be a large problem as there is little way of stopping a pandemic.

Hep A, however, does not always present symptoms. Which is kind of positive and negative. On the one hand, many hosts will not suffer. On the other, they can pass along the infection without having the knowledge required to prevent transmission.

Can you get hepatitis C from a restaurant?

It is extremely unlikely that you will get hepatitis C from a restaurant. Hepatitis C is spread from blood to blood. A cook would need to spill his own blood on an item. You would need to eat that item and it would need to enter your body through an open sore in your mouth. If the virus gets as far as your stomach, it is dead. Hepatitis A spreads far easier in a restaurant. If you see a cook use a bathroom and he does not wash his hands, walk out of that restaurant.
