Naw man, 0% that shit.
I'm not playing this "oooh our food is cheap" bullshit game only to find out that is because the wait staff is underpaid. I came here to eat, not do math in my head while looking over the menu, INCREASE THE DAMN PRICES. I don't give a shit if it ends up costing MORE than tipping as long as the cost is fucking upfront.
I'm not your employer, I'm not paying you. And if your employer can't keep the restaurant afloat without underpaying you then that bitch should SINK. I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THIS SHIT.
I've seen restaurants that add a per-person Christmas booking fee for dinner on 24-26 December. I'd assume it is for the wait staff, but the union conditions aren't really all that great for the service industry.
Country: NL
Working on holidays like christmas and new years in the netherlands means 150% hourly wage.
Same here in my part of the US
