Here s where it can get tricky. Generally a service fee will be a percentage of the total normally around 15 20 whereas the room service fee sometimes referred to as a plate fee a tray fee delivery fee or something similar is normally a fixed fee in the 3 6 range.

If you don t add anything extra nobody will bat an eyelash. Because some employers keep a portion of service charges the irs considers automatic gratuities to be revenue for the business and the dollars distributed to staff as non tip wages.

But a tip is not included in a room service charge or the more commonly used delivery fee or delivery charge so in the case of my burger the 3 00 delivery charge was not a tip but the 3 78 service charge was calculated as 18 of 21 00.

Hotel room service charges. They are different from tips which are paid to the employee who renders the service. Booked a room at the ritz. Bottle service charges by nightclubs and restaurants.

Then expect to pay a service charge and gratuity says danziger who rarely sees such fees omitted from bills. When you sign the bill there is always a blank that says additional gratuity.

If the service is truly exceptional i d typically tip 20 so i d add a few dollars on top of the service charge. The service charge is not only equivalent to a tip it is the tip.
