Question

What percentage do you tip a waiter in germany?

Answer 1

Europeans don't tip like Americans do.  Gratuity is included in the bill.  If the service is especially good, add a couple euro.  They will not be offended if no tip is left.

Answer 2

Liz is right for 95% of the restaurants. In the nicest of restaurants tipping does happen though. One added detail, you tell the waiter what your total will be. They tell you what the meal costs (say EUR 12,20) then you hand them a 20 bill and say "13" or "14" Just round up. If the bill is EUR 19,10 and you give them a 20 EUR bill, just say "Stimmt so!" (Keep the change, roughly.)

Answer 3

Sometimes service is included, but if not, a standard 10% is acceptable....When I was in Munich, I tended to leave at least the U.S. standard of 15% (more if the service was exceptional).

Answer 4

What a joke!

Actually you DON'T tip a waiter,...

what you can do is you round your price you pay up, like 14.45, just make it 15 or 16. And you don't put the tip on the table you give it personally. If not, just let it be. It doesn't matter. Mostly the tips are already in the food prices included.
