What is the accepted gratuity for good service in a restaurant?

• A. 10-15%
• B. 15-20%
• C. 25-30%
• D. 5-10%

Answer: (B)

For good service in a restaurant, the standard amount to tip is about 15-20% of the bill (before tax). This range is widely taught as the normal expectation for courteous, attentive service. A tip around 15% is common for satisfactory service, while tipping closer to 20% rewards extra attentiveness or quality. Tipping much more, like 25-30%, is usually reserved for exceptional service or special occasions, whereas 5-10% would generally indicate less satisfactory service. Keep in mind some places add a service charge automatically, and tipping norms can vary by country, but 15-20% is the most typical benchmark for good service.
