When you hand over that extra bit of money at the end of a meal shouldn’t this be a reward for the staff – and not used by the restaurant to subsidise wages or boost profits?
Concerned by minimal participation in the Government’s consultation process and therefore a lack of clear direction of travel on this increasingly controversial issue, key hospitality figures are leading a campaign that would make it compulsory for all restaurants to reveal their policies. And they are asking for the public’s help in ensuring The Tipping Point Campaign succeeds in its mission to offer the Government a widely supported proposal it can implement.
The committee believes all UK hospitality businesses should make a clear, written declaration on how they handle service charge, tips and gratuities and that this information should be made publicly available.
The Tipping Point Campaign’s website has now gone live, featuring an online petition to make this policy compulsory and legally binding.
The more people who sign up before the deadline of 27th June – when the government consultation on this issue finishes – the more likely it will be that The Tipping Point Campaign will succeed in achieving the transparency this contentious issue so urgently needs.
