Tipping

Tipping is not just a city in China. It is a way to let a service person know you appreciate their good service. A big tip is a way to thank someone for their outstanding service. Not giving a tip is a very stong way to let someone know they did not provide good service. However, people in the service industry make their money mosly from tips as their hourly wage is usually low.

• If you stay at a table for more than two hours, add an extra 5%-10% to your tip. If you are there for that long, it means the waitperson has lost an opportunity to seat more people there and can loose up to 30% of their tips.
• Please be considerate when traveling with children or pets. You will require special services that will be added to your room bill upon check out. Additionally, for sitters or dog walkers, a tip of $3-5 is appropiate
• Most restaurants have a policy of No Separate Checks. If it is absolutely necessary for separate checks, add an extra 5%-10% for the service person to divide the bill for you.
