Floridians among the cheapest tippers in the U.S., data shows

Data: Toast; Map: Axios Visuals

Don't forget to tip, seriously.

By the numbers: With an average tip of 18.3%, Florida ranked 48th out of 50 states when it came to the average tipping percentage in the last quarter of 2022, according to data from Toast.

  • The quarterly report looked at tips on takeout and in-person orders with restaurants that use the digital payment platform.

Why it matters: While inflation and rising costs of living have put pressure on everyone's wallets, the extra percentage points on a tip mean a lot to food and service workers.

What they're saying: A guide from The Cut released last month said 20% is the new minimum for a gratuity.
