Like it or loathe it, tipping has been a part of Australian restaurant culture for decades. Traditionally reserved for service at finer-dining establishments, a gratuity is now being left at more casual eateries, largely thanks to the growth of in-venue ordering technology.
Developers for web-based platform Me&u – which works by diners scanning a QR code with their phone to order and pay with an interactive menu – have reported an eightfold increase in gratuity nationwide after enhancing tipping capability in June.
Meanwhile, HungryHungry online ordering platform – used by food and drink vendors at outdoor events and large venues such as the Melbourne Cricket Ground – has seen the value of tips increase by 13 per cent since June.

THE Sunday Bisi-led faction of the Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, on Wednesday, stayed away from the stakeholders’ meeting convened by the chairman of the PDP South-West Reconciliation Committee, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, in Osogbo.
The meeting which was held at Ideal Nest Hotel, Osogbo, had in attendance supporters of the embattled state PDP chairman, Mr. Soji Adagunodo.
However, those sympathetic to former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, were conspicuously absent.
In his address at the meeting, Oyinlola explained that everyone, including those opposed to Adagunodo, was invited to the meeting as part of efforts to broker peace.
