Step 9: Tipping in cash. Once you have paid the bill, leave the desired amount on the table in a neat pile. If there is a tray or a bill wallet left on the table,you can leave it on or in them. Never thrust money into the waiter's hand during the meal or as you leave as it could potentially be embarrassing for the waiter. If you don't have the correct change for a tip, don't be embarrassed about asking your waiter to break a note.

• Step 4: When to give a big tip. There are several occasions when leaving a larger tip than 10% is appropriate and could be anything up to 40%. If the service is unusually helpful, friendly and unobtrusive, if your waiter has been particularly knowledgeable about the food and wine, if your waiter has gone out of their way to accommodate an unusual request or problem, or if you are a large group of six or over.
•Step 5: When to leave a small tip. If the waiter has done less than the bare minimum and has been generally unhelpful, it is appropriate that your tip should reflect that. Also if the waiter gets the order wrong or doesn’t pay attention to special requirements and food allergies, then you are within your rights to reduce the tip. In the rare occasion that a waiter is actually rude or abusive to a customer, the tip should be dramatically reduced or removed. However be careful that you are not penalizing the wrong person for problems during your meal. If the chef cooked something badly but your waiter handled the situation well by apologizing immediately and replacing the dish, then they still deserve a good tip.

This is a simple and discreet way of tipping but bear in mind that the restaurant may use that tip as a contribution to its waiting staff’s wages. To ensure that the waiter actually receives all of the tip, it may be best to leave it for them in cash
