Frequently asked questions
How much should I tip at a US restaurant?
Common practice: 15–18% for lunch, 18–20% for dinner table service, around 10% for counter service or takeout. Many checks print suggested amounts at exactly these tiers.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Conventionally on the pre-tax subtotal — sales tax goes to the state, not the server. Tipping on the post-tax total is also common and only differs by a few percent.
What does the round-up toggle do?
It rounds each person's share up to the next whole unit, so the per-person tip rises slightly — handy when splitting a bill and nobody wants small change.
