RD question... more tipping?

Okay so for the rehearsal dinner... i know its the price x 20% gratutity (for mine) x tax (which is what... 8.75%), right?

Ok so on top of all that... do we tip anyone? the bartender? the main manager guy? (please say no )

be careful not to over multiply yourself. Say your hall is $100pp, your math should be as follows:

$100*20%= $20
$100*8.75= $8.75

Total= $128.75

If you do 100*8.75*20 its $130.5

That isn't a big difference for one person but it can add up quick. If you have 150 ppl its $262.50 over!

I think the 20% is fine. When you normally go out to a restaurant you don't tip the bartender and the waiter...
