Full-service restaurants commonly see tips in the mid-teens to 20% range of the pre-tax bill for solid service, with more for exceptional help or large complicated tables. Check whether gratuity is already added for big parties. Cash or card both work—card tips still reach staff through each restaurant’s system.
