Tip Your Server at a Restaurant Step 1.jpg

Determine the "tippable" total.
Tipping is not quite obligatory in North America. However, because the waitstaff are often paid fairly low wages, it is the customary practice. In many other countries with stiff minimum wage requirements, particularly the UK, Republic of Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, tipping is not customary: it is entirely optional, a reward for extraordinarily good service, and the customer need not feel obliged to tip. In some countries, such as Japan, tipping can actually be considered an insult both to the server ("You need this more than I do.") AND the owner of the establishment ("You don't pay your staff decently.")
If you used any coupons or discounts, calculate the tip based on how much you would've paid without it. Otherwise, you're punishing the waiter for the restaurant management's efforts to bring you in the door.[2] For example, if you have a 2-for-1 coupon, you may only have had to pay for half of your meal, but the server still did the full amount of work.
If there is a tax on your bill, you should technically calculate the tip based on the pretax amount, since the service you received has nothing to do with the tax. But since the difference between a tip on the total (including tax) or the pretax amount is not significant, it's not a recommended squabbling point.[3] If your order costs $30, and the tax is 8%, the total is $32.40. A 15% tip on your order, before tax, is $4.50. The same tip on the grand total is $4.86. That's only a difference of 36¢. Even with an order of $1,000, the equivalent difference is still only $12!
