In Toronto, restaurant servers typically rely on tips (gratuities) to make a living wage. For larger groups of people dining together, tipping may be compulsory and you may see a tip added automatically to your bill. For smaller groups or individuals, it’s conventional to tip 10-25% of the amount of your bill. So, if your bill came to $10, it would be conventional to offer $11.00-12.50. Some people vary the tip according to the quality of the service, while others consider it an obligatory part of dining out. Staff in chain coffee shops (e.g. Starbucks) may not be able to accept tips. If tipping is conventional, you will often see an option to add a tip when paying with a debit or credit card.
