Frequently Asked Questions

Should tax and tip be split evenly even if drinks weren't?

An even split is simplest, but if orders varied a lot, consider splitting tax and tip proportionally to each person's order total instead.

Is 20% a standard bar tip?

15-20% is typical for table service at a bar; some venues add an automatic gratuity for large groups, so check your receipt first.

How do I handle someone who only had water?

Consider excluding non-drinkers from the split or having them contribute a smaller flat amount toward tax and tip only.
