suggested tip
Advised service payment
A suggested tip is a gratuity amount proposed by a restaurant, app, or service provider, typically calculated as a percentage of the bill.
These appear on receipts or checkout screens as options—often 18%, 20%, 25%—nudging customers toward particular amounts: The suggested tip options started at 20%.
The practice has expanded beyond traditional tipping contexts, sometimes prompting backlash when suggested tips appear for counter service or self-checkout.
