No. A tip or gratuity is, as a matter of law, is always voluntarily left by the customer. “Mandatory gratuities”, such as those at other restaurants for large parties, are not legally considered a tip. See: 29 C.F.R. § 531.52(a) [“A tip is … to be distinguished from payment of a charge, if any, made for the service. Whether a tip is to be given, and its amount, are matters determined solely by the customer.”]

No. We clearly and conspicuously disclose our service charge on our website, online menu, and in-store signage.
