gratuities

Money for servers

Gratuities is the plural of gratuity—money given beyond what's owed, typically for service.

The word sounds more formal than tip: Gratuities are included in the bill.

Signs reading "No gratuities accepted" appear where tipping might seem inappropriate.

In some contexts, gratuity suggests a larger sum or bonus rather than the coins left on a restaurant table.
