You have an idea for a restaurant tip calculator app that you want to develop to use on your mobile phone when you go out to eat. You can enter the amount of the check before taxes, the tax rate, and the tip percentage. It should display the amount before taxes, the dollar amount of the taxes, the dollar amount of the tip (calculated on amount before taxes), and the total amount including taxes and tip.…

The atmosphere at Applebee's was very pleasant and our waiter was friendly and accommodating. We counted seven courtesies (please, thank you, your welcome, may I help you, etc.) that he said to us. Unfortunately, we did overhear another waiter making unprofessional complains about their customer. Our waiter also told us that he had been in the service industry for nine years and had been working at Applebee’s for two years. He had the most…
• Uniform gratuity also ensures equal service for customers who (rightly or wrongly) may be seen as potential bad tippers. It would also mean that servers could be less competitive over “prime” tables.…

Food-service workers perform an important job that is always in demand. Waiters at restaurants have a responsibility to serve the customers' needs during the time they are in the restaurant. A waiter's salary is typically made up of a small hourly rate of pay and customer gratuity, so it is financially advantageous for a waiter to know how to properly serve customers.…
According to Ehrenreich, people who work jobs that are subsidized almost entirely by tips should be either paid more to begin with or offered more services such as housing and food like European countries do. For example, the typical 10% tip is considered borderline excessive at table service restaurants because waiters and waitresses are already paid substantially. Also, it is common especially in Mediterranean countries for the 10-15% service charge to already be included in the prices displayed on the menu. As it becomes harder for someone to sustain a comfortable lifestyle off of tipping in America, this may be something the government will look into adopting.…

Everyday people are faced with a dilemma: Dining at a restaurant, getting a haircut at the barber shop, receiving a food delivery; ex. Pizza, Chinese Food. We are put in the position to leave a tip. Tipping has become a standard in most service establishments, and many people ask. Should I leave tip or should I not tip at all? Tipping etiquette as grown substantially in recent years and in U.S., restaurants alone account for about 27 billion (AZAR) each year. There are many people on both sides of this debate about Tipping. Some people argue that they should not assume the burden and be taxed additionally, while others argue that not leaving a tip for serviced rendered is unethical and wrong. Even though tipping does not have legal obligation people do grant it. So what is a tip/gratuity? Where did this custom come from? What are the issues that surround the concept of tipping/gratuity? Why do people tip? Tipping for service getting out of hand and is it ethical, is tipping expected today?…
No matter how different people may be there is one thing everyone in this room, and everyone and the world has in common. Food. We all eat it, we all love it and I don’t know about you guys but mealtime is easily one of my favorite parts of the day. But how often do we think about the people who serve us our food? Servers in Texas are only paid $2.13 an hour before tips and according to the Wall Street Journal and even with tips many servers end up making below minimum wage. I’m credible on this topic because I’ve worked in several restaurants and I’ve seen how many people almost completely rely on tips as their source of income. Tipping is relevant to you guys because everyone here has eaten in a restaurant and because most likely some of you guys have also had the pleasure of working in a restaurant. There are two solutions I propose to this problem, one everyone could make an effort to give their servers a good tip of around 20% if they receive good service, and also Texas could increase the amount that waiters and waitresses get paid per hour.…
