Someone mentioned a gratuity in another thread. I'm having a really hard time with this one. I usually write on the contract "Gratuity is NOT included.", but rarely do we receive one although our events go very well and I usually pick up one new event from each current event. Even the wedding in the rain and wind at the beach got us rave reviews, but no tip. I am perplexed about this.

I add in a service charge which pays my staff at the event, and that is clear on the contract. I altered shroomgirl's contract last year. How can I get people to understand that the service charge and the tip are different? Think I should hide the service charge in the food cost and add on a tip?

service charge and tip do sound like the same thing.

Makes sense.

Sorry- reread this one again with morning eyes.

NO.
