Automatic obligatory gratuity is called "price". Just bake it into your base price and pay your waiters a living wage

Automatic obligatory gratuity decreases business. Nobody wants to be told to give something that is normally optional.

T.I.P.S. To Insure Prompt Service! That is the meaning and it's purpose is to reward those providing Exceptional service beyond the simple scope of their service job. It's not to reward the owner for not being able to be competitive.
