Smart Tipping Strategies
Calculate on Pre-Tax Amount
Tip on the pre-tax bill amount. On a $100 meal with $8 tax, tip $20 (20% of $100), not $21.60 (20% of $108).
Cash vs Card Tipping
Cash tips ensure servers receive full amount immediately. Card tips may be processed differently and taxed.
Group Dining Etiquette
Split bill evenly or by consumption. Use 20% minimum for groups of 6+ as service is more complex.
Special Occasion Tipping
Increase to 25-30% for holidays, special requests, or when servers go above and beyond normal service.
