What is Tipping?
A tip or gratuity is an extra sum of money paid to service workers for their service. In countries like the United States, tipping is widely expected and often factors into service workers' compensation towards meeting minimum wage requirements.
Common Tipping Scenarios:
- • Restaurants and dining
- • Food delivery services
- • Taxi and rideshare services
- • Hair salons and spas
- • Hotel services
Standard Tipping Guidelines
While tipping customs vary by country and service type, here are some common guidelines for the United States:
Typical Tipping Percentages:
- • Restaurants: 15-20% of pre-tax bill
- • Food Delivery: 15-20% of total order
- • Taxi/Rideshare: 15-20% of fare

Global Tipping Culture
Tipping customs vary significantly around the world. In some countries, tipping is expected, while in others it may be seen as unnecessary or even offensive.
Group Dining
When dining in groups, it's important to coordinate tipping to ensure service staff are fairly compensated. Some restaurants automatically add gratuity for large groups.
Digital Tipping
Modern payment systems often include built-in tipping options. These typically offer preset percentages but also allow for custom tip amounts.
