Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I tip?

Standard restaurant tips in the US are 15-20% for good service. 18% is a common default. Tip more for exceptional service, large parties, or complex orders. Some add automatic gratuity (18-20%) for groups of 6+.

Should I tip on tax?

Opinions vary. Technically, tips should be on the pre-tax subtotal. However, many people tip on the total including tax for convenience. The difference is usually small.

How do I split a bill with tip evenly?

Add the tip to the total bill, then divide by the number of people. For a $100 bill with 20% tip split 4 ways: ($100 + $20) / 4 = $30 per person.
