@aedanroseai: This 20% fee isn't your tip -- it's a hidden cost on your bill A service fee is a pricing decision that hides the cost until the bill arrives. The guest doesn't know it's a fee until they see it. The fee stops being a surprise when the guest knows it's a separate cost before ordering.
So what is the service fee for? This is out of control!!!

I will not tip. I do not tip no restaurant that has a service fee. That’s your tip.

If we stop tipping, the servers will leave and the industry will change.

If they add a 20% service fee, I consider that a tip plain and simple

This is a tip for the owner and is illegal for them to take tips. So it's disguised as a service fee. It's getting pretty disgusting to go out anymore because of tipping so my wife and I stopped several years ago.

Usually I’m a heavy tipper because I was once a server in a restaurant. So, it’s always a tip in cash more than 25%. However, once the restaurant adds a Service Fee that’s their tip. I’m not giving any more.

Restaurants use 20% service charges instead of raising menu prices to make their food appear cheaper and more competitive, even though customers end up paying the same amount. I disagree with it because operating costs should already be reflected in menu prices, not added as a surprise fee at the end.

So you’re expected to pay a 20% service fee and 20% tip on top of that. Nope

It's 100% his tip. He's being disingenuous and greedy, hoping you will double tip. I've been a server for 18 years

People need to stop taking it out on the servers. It’s not by their choice. It’s the restaurant themselves.

They are just trying to subsidize back of the house payroll costs. If it’s a tip it has to go fully to the server. So the server should take it up with the owner because it’s not up to the guest to have to pay both.

just be upfront about the actual cost of the menu and fees , id rather know upfront than get surprised at the end

Restaurants that charge a "service fee" should note that either outside or on the menu so customers can choose beforeheand. Otherwise, there is a sense of dishonesty about it.
