I am curious, is there some regulation on how the caterer computes a tip?

On the latest quote for my wedding (this Saturday) they are taking the food charge plus tax, then calculating the 20%.

I always thought the tip should be computed on the pre-tax food charges (i.e. $30 x 20%), not on the $30 + tax, then times 20%.

Is it normal to pay a tip on the tax?

(along those same lines it looks like they are charging us a tip on some of the rental items as well)

I honestly don''t know about the food, but it seems strange that they would charge you a tip on rental items. Are they charging the tip as part of the clean up fee or something? You might just need to call to get some clarification about it..

yup, it was the cleanup fee, that the program they use puts into gratuity cell.
it''s a horrible presentation to the client- i''m an accountant and couldn''t even figure it out!

but we''re all set, thankfully.
