% Tip?

What the proper tip percentage at Resturants?

Locals reportedly tip the Mexican custom of 10% and visitors seem to stick to the tried and true 15%.

I totally agree with smitty.and also about the wages being so low we allways gave extra expecially when they have to share.

I tip 15% minimum, usually 20% if service is really good.

15-20%.

Amen!

no doubt about that one Jennybean... well said...

That all makes sense. Thanks for the insight. Chuck... 8)

OK

AS A RESTARAUNT OWNER ILL GIVE YOU THE STRAIT GOODS

ALTHOUGH I PAY MY WAITERS A LOT MORE THEN THE USUAL 50 PESOS A SHIFT, THIS IS THE NORM

IN MOST ESTABLISHMENTS THE WAITER HAVE TO POOL THERE TIPS
SHARING ALMOST 40 PERCENT OF THE GROSS OF TIPS

THE REST THEYLL TAKE HOME

\" HOW SHOULD I TIP \"

I THINK IF THEYVE MADE YOUR FOOD TO YOUR STANDARDS AND THE SERVICE WAS ATTENTATIVE THEN BY ALL MEANS LEAVE A LITTLE EXTRA

PLEASE DONT BE AFRAID TO ASK YOUR SERVERS ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU JUSTMIGHT GET THE ANSWERS TO SOME PRETTY INTERESTING QUESTIONS!

FURTHERMORE REMBER THAT THEY ALSO HAVE FAMILIES TO SUPPORT AND THAT BEING HERE IN PUERTO VALLARTA IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT IN THE FOODSERVICE BUSINESS


IT IS THERE PROFESSION THATS WHY YOULL FIND THE SMAE STAFF IN THE SAME PLACES YEAR AFTER YEAR

I HAVE 5 STAFF MEMBERS THAT HAVE BEEN WITH ME SINCE DAY ONE



JUST MY CENTAVOS WORTH
