DDE - Auto tip on discounted amount?

[dallasdisneymommy]

Does anyone know if the auto 18% gratuity is levied on the pre-discounted amount or on the discounted amount?

Would like to know too

Pre-discounted amount.

Pre-discounted amount.

I think that's why they did it, too many people weren't tipping on the original bill. We always just put the discount back as the tip, so our servers will now get a smaller tip as a result of the automatic gratuity.

That's what I thought -- I was just working on a spreadsheet, trying to figure out what plan will actually save us money. The answer does seem to be DDE.

Thank you!

Any time there is a discount on a meal, the tip should always be at the pre-discount price. Disney has done this for many years on the CM meal discount and started this yeqr on DDE.

However, the sales tax is computed on the amount after the discount is computed.

Example
!00.00 Meal
-20.00 Discount
$80.00 Subtotal
+18.00 Gratuity based on $100
+5.20 Tax at 6.5% based on $80

$103.20 Final Total

We always added the discount back as the tip too.

We started adding a few extra dollars on this last trip. Still seems funny to see $3 or $4 on the gratuity line though. We keep checking & re-checking that the 18% was included.
