25% is INSANE, even not during recession.
It's literally 1/4 of the meal.
INSANE.
I always found percentage to be a bit stupid as a measure. If I'm eating by myself max I will tip is 10%. All they did was walk out a plate of food and refill the water a handful of times
2 people then 15%
If there's like 8 people then maybe 15% + 1% per person.
For decent service you would expect from competent staff that is, if it's excellent than a bit more and terrible a bit less.
Genuine question: how does that work though?
I would have thought (but perhaps I'm wrong) that the waiter does less work per person as the number of people at a table increases, so why would the percentage tip go up?
And as far as the bill goes, if there's only me, I'll likely stick to soft drinks. Whereas when there are more people in my group, I'd be much more likely to grab a bottle of wine to share, pushing the total bill per person up, and thus the tip.
I just find with two or more people there's more to keep in mind for orders and stuff and remembering what kind of drinks someone has for topping up or refilling, plus the cooks (should) get a portion of the tip so they'll be cooking twice as much food at the same time which is a little more difficult. In general it's a little more work to serve more people because of time constraints and number of things to remember.
You can have 12 single people at 12 different tables and it would be a lot easier than 24 people paired up at 12 tables.
