Modern Day Tipping Etiquette with Cara Felleman

Season 1, Ep. 20

On this episode of Skye's The Limit, Cara Felleman joins Skye to break down tipping culture in today's rapidly changing service industry. Cara has worked in the restaurant industry for more than a decade. She has worked in the restaurant world with jobs as a server & hostess, and predominantly in sales with roles as the Head of Inside Sales for Resy, VP of Sales at Vividly and more. Listen as we talk through the process of deciding the right amount to tip in a fast-casual environment, for food delivery, when a service charge is applied and for every instance in which a diner can leave feeling confused! Are tips measures of good service anymore? What is our obligation when eating out in this day and age? Listen as Cara gives her expert opinion on all of the above.
