Tip Etiquette Guide
Tipping is a common practice in many service industries, especially in the United States and Canada. The standard tip for restaurant service is 15-20% of the pre-tax bill. For exceptional service, consider tipping 20-25%. For bars, it is customary to tip $1-2 per drink or 15-20% of the total tab. Food delivery drivers also expect 15-20%, particularly since they use their own vehicles and fuel.
When dining in a group, splitting the bill evenly can simplify payment. Calculate the total including tip, then divide by the number of people. This ensures everyone contributes fairly without needing to itemize each person's order. For large groups of 6 or more, many restaurants automatically add a gratuity of 18-20%, so check your bill before adding an additional tip.
Tipping Around the World
Tipping customs vary widely by country. In Japan and South Korea, tipping is not customary and can even be considered rude. In many European countries, a service charge is included in the bill, making additional tipping optional. In Australia, tipping is appreciated but not expected. When traveling internationally, always research local tipping etiquette to avoid cultural faux pas.
