Question 1

How much should you tip at a restaurant?

Accepted Answer

The standard restaurant tip in the US is 15–20% for sit-down service. 15% is acceptable for average service, 20% is standard for good service, and 25%+ is appropriate for excellent service.

Question 2

Should you tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?

Accepted Answer

Etiquette experts say tipping on the pre-tax total is technically correct, but tipping on the post-tax amount is widely practiced and appreciated. The difference is small on most bills.

Question 3

How much do you tip for delivery?

Accepted Answer

Tip 15–20% of the order total for delivery, with a minimum of $3–$5 for small orders. For difficult conditions (bad weather, long distance) or large orders, tip more generously.

Question 4

Is it rude not to tip in the US?
