From My Daughter. I hope this is usefull.

IN regards to tipping with a credit card. Depending on if the restaurant
pools there tips or not that money that you have left on that liitle line
does go to the server. As a server you are logged into the computer system
and as you settle tables with cash/ debit/ credit card it always asks you if
you for the tip amount. Where I work at the end on my shift I print out what
we call a cash out slip adn on there it tells you the amount of money you
made in tips. If you add up all the credit card/debit and cash tips you made
the two numbers should be the same. As for restaurants that pool there tips,
I would only tip the minimun 15% because that money does not all go to your
server. As a student and a server, I really do base my tipping on the service when I go out to eat. No less than 15% though. This is because, the money you do
leave does get slit up between the kitchen staff and bartender.
