For a sit-down meal in a restaurant, 15%–20% is a generally accepted amount to leave as a tip. If you have more than one person serving you, don't worry – the tip will be shared out by one of the servers – you needn't tip them all individually!

In Florida, as in most of the United States, tipping is a deeply ingrained social expectation and a vital part of service workers' income. For sit-down restaurants, a common tip is between 18% and 22% of the total bill before tax. In 2026, many establishments now include "suggested tip" amounts on the receipt, often starting at 20%. For bartenders, a standard tip is $1 to $2 per drink or 20% of the total tab. Valet parking attendants typically receive $5 when they return your car, while hotel bellhops are tipped $2 to $3 per bag. For taxi or Uber drivers, 15% to 20% is standard. In tourist hubs like Miami or Orlando, be sure to check your bill for "Service Charge" or "Gratuity," as some restaurants automatically include a 18% tip for all tables or for parties of six or more. If a service charge is already included, an additional tip is not required but is appreciated for exceptional service.
