Berlin Guide - Useful Information

Although tipping is not obligatory it is rather a custom in Berlin. A tip of 5%-10% is desirable, if you were satysified about the service. In smaller bars, cafes and taxis it is usual to round up the bill to the nearest Euro. In more famous restaurants and hotels service charges are normally added to the bill, in these cases tipping becomes unnecessary. The extra charges should be clearly stated in the menu or on the bill.
It is much better to pay the tips in cash - it is the only way to assure, that the person you have chosen receives the extra money fully. The other, even more popular way of tipping is to tell how much you want to pay - leaving money on the table is rather rare. Thanks to telling the exact amount of money helps in case of "tipping confusion".
