Awake Goy A restaurant group that includes some of Manhattan’s most well-regarded dining spots has said it will take the potentially revolutionary step in the United States of eliminating tipping.
Influential restaurateur Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group will begin rolling out the new policy in late November, bringing its establishments in line with dining practices in Europe, Asia and elsewhere, where tipping is either non-existent or at most perfunctory.
The company, which employs some 1,800 people at more than a dozen popular hot spots including the Gramercy Tavern and Union Square Cafe, said in a statement it arrived at the groundbreaking step “after a thoughtful, company-wide dialogue.”
It explained that “countless laws and regulations … determine which positions in a restaurant may, and may not share in gratuities,” with cooks, reservationists and dishwashers left out as a result, despite their vital contributions.
The no-tipping policy will launch at The Modern, a posh restaurant at Manhattan’s Museum of Modern Art, with Union Square’s other restaurants including Maialino incorporating the change over the next year.
