Tipping Guide
Tipping customs vary by country and service type. Here's a quick guide to help you tip appropriately.
Standard Tip Percentages
- 10%: Basic/expected service (India, some countries)
- 15%: Standard good service (US baseline)
- 18-20%: Great service (US/Canada standard)
- 25%+: Exceptional service or large groups
Example Calculations
| Bill | Tip % | People | Tip Amt | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₹5,000 | 15% | 5 | ₹750 | ₹1,150/person |
| ₹8,000 | 18% | 8 | ₹1,440 | ₹1,180/person |
When NOT to Tip
Some restaurants include a service charge (often 5-10%) on the bill. Check before tipping extra. Fast food, self-service, and counter service typically don't require tips. In some countries (Japan), tipping may be considered rude.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do we split the tip fairly?
The easiest way is to divide total bill + tip equally. If some ordered more, they can contribute extra. For exact split, add individual orders and divide tip proportionally to consumption.
Who pays for shared items like appetizers?
Split shared items equally among participants. For example, if a ₹500 appetizer is shared by 4 people, each adds ₹125 to their individual bill before calculating the final split.
