The pandemic hit the catering sector hard, and with the latest anti-drug measures, more waiters than guests are being beaten in the cafes. Since the adoption of the measure for entering catering facilities only for vaccinated visitors, the incomes of the caterers have been reduced from 50 to 70 percent. And, since there is no mass attendance, it means that the tip is reduced to a minimum.

In truth, such an award in the country is on a voluntary basis and depends on the satisfaction of the customer, but sometimes, remind the caterers, the tip could be higher than the made guild. The award should be left to the good will of the guests, although we have several times suggested that it be calculated in the price of the service, said for "Free Press" Zdravko Josifovski, president of the NSC, after recent information that Serbia could emulate the countries that this generosity of the customers, they calculate on the bills.

- Our proposals were moving in the direction of the price of the service and the service to be calculated in the final price and that amount to be between 5 and 20 percent. For example, 5% service would calculate the smaller catering facilities (cafes, patisseries), and 20% would calculate the top restaurants with top service and staff. With us, the tip should remain good will and expression of satisfaction of the guests. As things stand now, in some catering facilities the tip is individual, ie each employee takes it, or in groups - he divides the entire staff at the end of the day - explains Josifovski.

As an example in the United States, tips are taxed regularly, and tax authorities often set the tax on a flat-rate basis, based on the expectations of how much an employee could receive a tip at work. In the US, a 10 per cent reward would mean a disastrous service, and in the UK, the tip goes from 10 to 15 per cent of the bill, but if you are not satisfied, you do not have to pay a pound.
