Frequently Asked Questions
Is it mandatory to leave a tip in the United States?
Legally no, but socially it is mandatory. Waiters depend on tips to reach minimum wage. It is normal to leave between 18% and 25%.
In which countries is it offensive to leave a tip?
Mainly in Japan and South Korea. Good service is considered part of the duty and does not require extra compensation.
Should I tip if the service was bad?
In countries where it is optional (Europe, Australia), the most correct thing is to leave nothing.
Is the tip calculated before or after taxes?
In North America it is usually calculated on the subtotal (before taxes). In Europe and Latin America, it is always calculated on the total of the bill.
