Do you think cooks should be tipped and how much is a good tip?

May 12th, 2008 by hahamagic

not! Why? I’m glad you asked because I mean no disrespect to cooks worldwide and please do not spit in my food. LOL.

Most cooks (if not all) make above the minimum wage and the wait staff almost always makes well below the federal minimum wage provisions of $5.85 per hour. In addition, many do not share the same benefits (medical, time off etc.) as cooks and all this should be considered. In addition, if the food is not right the wait staff usually gets blamed for that huge mistake. LOL.

Now, below we have added what we think is an appropriate tip for each food service title. We love to hear your thoughts about this heated discussion. Try to be nice. LOL.

Barista: No tip required, though many suggest throwing coins into the tip jar.
Bartender: $1/drink (or 15% of total bill). Pre-tip for better service.
Delivery person (including pizza): 10%, $2 minimum
Maitre d’: $5-$25 for special efforts
Takeout: No tip required unless something special is done
Waiter: 15% for adequate service, 20% for exceptional service. For poor service, leave 10% or less. It’s okay to leave nothing for exceptionally poor service, but only if you’re sure it’s the waiter’s fault.

If you’re in the hospitality field (e.g. bartender, bar owners, waiter, waitresses, DJ, comic, barback, bar school instructor) we’d love to hear from you!
