Tables in Wonderland question....

[psimon]

Dumb question....

When the 20% is calculated, does that apply to the tax as well?

I assume the tip is added after (and should be calculated on the non-discounted price, right)?

Any insight on Tables in Wonderland is greatly appreciated.

Thanks...

The tip is calculated on the undiscounted price- the tax is calculated on the discounted price. I find that if I just plan on paying the menu price for things that I am very close to the total amount including tip- occasionally it is a little less than I expected.

Here is a working example, using $100.00 as the original bill to make the math show up easily. Note this is for Table Service. At Counter Service there is no gratuity added.

100.00 - Original Amount
*20.00 - Discount
*80.00 - Subtotal
*18.00 - Gratuity Added based on $100
**5.20 - Sales Tax on $80
103.20 - Final amount charged, takes into consideration discount, gratuity and tax.

Without TiW Discount (and still figuring 18% Gratuity)

100.00 - Amount of Bill
*18.00 - Gratuity
**6.50 - Sales Tax on $100
124.50 - Total

$21.30 - Savings using TiW Card.

(Note - At Victoria and Albert's the added gratuity is 20% instead of 18%.)
