I have a standard tip of 20% or if very happy with service, then 25 to 30%. I always give tips in cash even when paying the bill on a credit card. Cash is easy to manage by the wait person. If you want to get a better picture of how things work, go to the parking lot and watch what the wait staff drive up in compared to the owner. That will not tell the whole story, but gives you and idea of how the profits are distributed. Before you give me the monitary risk for the owner vise the waiters, also include what your toughts are on the labor given through the act of serving the customers.
