Tips on Tipping

Tips or service charges are not usually added to restaurant bills in Canada. Salary levels in many restaurants are based on the assumption that staff will receive a significant proportion of their income in tips. If you are satisfied with the service received, a tip of 15 percent is the usual amount given.

Bellhops, doormen, redcaps (porters) and similar staff at hotels, airports and railway stations are generally paid C$1 per item of luggage carried.

The appropriate tip for hotel maid service is C$1 per person in the room. [Session Management]
