So where do you go now? All restaurants are in the same boat and have raised their prices.

Do you eat at home more?

we have started eating at home more..

$90 (including tip) for a family of four....that’s three adult meals and one kids meal. My preteen son eats like an adult. No alcohol. This was a local owner establishment not a chain.

I was shocked...with the $7.50 cash wage + $2.90 tip credit = $10.40 and going up next year to $8.57 + $4.15 = $12.50 for tipped employees for an establishment of 11 or more I am no longer tipping 20% and have reduced that to 10% now.

We just don’t need to eat out at those prices.
