One of the things many Americans like about traveling in Germany is that they are no long expected to leave 15-20% tip in restaurants. This is because some gratuity is already included in the check. However, this doesn’t mean that you
shouldn’t leave a tip on top of that. The wait staff generally doesn’t
receive the gratuity which has been built into the check directly.
It is customary to round up to the next
full Euro and add a Euro or two (for example, if your bill is 12.55€, it would
be appropriate to pay 13-14€ total). When you are eating out in a nicer
restaurant, with a large group, or the sum of your bill is quite high, you should leave a 5-10% tip. Tips are usually given directly to the
waiter.
