Frequently Asked Questions

In the United States, 15–20% is standard for sit-down restaurants. 20% is considered the norm for good service. For exceptional service, 25% or more is a generous gesture. For takeout, 10–15% is common. Tipping norms vary significantly in other countries.

Either is acceptable. Traditionally, tips are calculated on the pre-tax amount since tax goes to the government, not the server. However, tipping on the total is simpler and more generous. The difference is usually small — do whichever feels right to you.

For food delivery, 15–20% or $5 minimum is common. For coffee shops, $1–2 per drink or 15–20% is typical. Buffets usually warrant 10–15%. Bartenders typically get $1–2 per drink or 15–20% of the tab.
