Useful Tips & Best Practices
- Standard dining gratuity in North America typically ranges from 15% (standard service) to 20%+ (exceptional service).
- Toggle "Round Up" if you prefer paying cash or avoiding messy coin change.
- Check whether the restaurant has already added an automatic gratuity for large parties before tipping.
