    Recommendations on the bill are 18% and 20% of the total.

    I'd track the minutes spent by your server at the table, multiple by 1.3 to cover bussers then multiple that by an hourly rate of $30. No need to consider overpriced tabs from the Mouse.

    That works out a bit low, I think. Party of 6, sit down, average cost per person of $40, 18% is $43.20. By your formula I get $0.65 per minute (1.3 x 30/60). To reach the 18% level, it would take a bit over 66 minutes. If you are counting full
    elapsed time that the server is responsible for your table, then it's a good estimate. But if you are only counting the time the server is physically at your table, either you are doing a 4 hour meal or you need to up the rate to match the 18% level.

    If the party is of a certain size they automatically add the gratuity. I'm not sure what that number is. Thought it might be 6.
