RESTAURANT GUIDE

Tipping Guide

It is customary to tip for service at almost all sit-down restaurants. Those who provide the service often rely on tips for the majority of their income so it's expected and appreciated!

- For a sit down meal, generally tip 15-20 percent of the bill.
- At a buffet style restaurant or when there is a tip jar by the cash register, tip 10 percent of your bill.
- It's also polite to tip food delivery drivers and bartenders (15 percent is acceptable).
- Here is a guide with more info if you have further questions!
