Restaurant - Tips

Verbs: to be, pay, include, say, keep, bring, write, want, give, add, forget, sign, show 

The standard tip is 10-15% for lunch and 15-20% for dinner. If you are paying cash and you are including the tip, you say “Keep the change.” But normally, the server should bring your change.

If you pay with a credit card, there is a separate line where you can write in the tip.

Write in the amount of the tip you want to give, add that to the amount of your meal, and then write the “total”. Don’t forget to sign your name at the bottom where it says “signature.” The restaurant will give the tip to your server.

Generally, if you have a party of 6 or more, the gratuity will show automatically on your total amount.  You can pay extra tips if  you wish.
