agree with others... some restaurant already charging service charge so no need for tips... but if you still insist 10QR is good...

No need to give tip if the restaurant (usually in hotels) charges 17% service charge and you'll see that in the bill.  Otherwise, 7% of the bill will be good.

If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.

I think it's very rare for the service charge included in the bill to go to the waiters. I don't even know if 'service' actual means the waiter service.

Best to ask the waiter if they get it or not. If they don't then leave a tip if you think they deserve it, for the amount you think they deserve. I hate the American culture of always tipping. A normal tip should reward normal service, with a bigger tip rewarding service above your expectations. But if the service is poor (as it so often is here) then they haven't earnt a tip in my opinion.

Then I don t add any more, even though I suspect the waiting staff may bot get the tip. In the Us they expact 20%cnow.

The Ritz Carlton no longer add service, an d the staff get the tip - at least in the Italien restaurant.......I belive the 17% is a combo of service and tax...

daiwai ... if you spent QR 50, 10 percents would be only QR 5. But when you eat in the hotel ... you will easily spent QR 600 to QR 700 , on top of that they will charge you another 17 percents ... and you still have to leave 10 percents for the tip?

 

but then again if you can afford to pay the bill ... surely you can afford to leave some $$$ for tipping ???

Don't be so mean as to leave less

i normally leave tips about QR 5, but then again i was on my own. Like when i am having breakfast on my own in one of the cafe in villagio ... my bill come to like QR 40 to QR 50 , i left QR 5 as a tip. IMO it is a fair amount.
