Good to know

Does EL ideas add a service charge?

Yes — EL ideas adds a mandatory service charge to the bill. It isn't a tip you chose, so your real total lands above the menu price. Sourced from elideas.com.

Do I still tip on top at EL ideas?

Generally no — the charge is already on your bill, and at most places like this it goes to staff as wages. Anything extra is entirely up to you.
