Switzerland is known for its stunning scenery and high prices. But how much should you tip in Swiss restaurants to show your appreciation without breaking the bank? Here are 5 tips:
Tipping is Not Mandatory: Unlike in the US, tipping in Switzerland is not expected. Service charges are often included in the bill.
Round Up: A simple and budget-friendly method is to round up the bill to the nearest 5 or 10 Swiss Francs. For example, if your bill is 47 CHF, round up to 50 CHF.
10% is a Good Guideline: If you’re happy with the service, 10% of the bill is a standard and appreciated tip amount.
Cash is King: While most restaurants accept cards, cash tips are generally preferred by servers.
Consider Exceptional Service: If you received truly outstanding service (e.g., extra attentive, went above and beyond), a slightly higher tip is always welcome.
Pro Tip: Research specific restaurants in advance. Some may have information about tipping policies on their websites or menus.
