Pro tip on tipping 💵

Tipping servers in Indianapolis, IN
Bar One Fourteen server_INDY

Sit down, order, eat, tip, and leave. That’s the process most Hoosiers follow when they go to a restaurant.

At some establishments though, tipping is being cut, or shifting to a hybrid model where tipping is still allowed but menu prices are increased so everyone is paid fairly. The change comes from the idea that servers should make a living wage.

Here are six Circle City businesses that are taking away the tip jar.
