About the Service Charge on your bill...

[Rob]

This is a really good thread. And not to beat a dead horse BUT, I have seen online some menus from different places listing both the service charge and GCT.. not a big deal as I now know the difference.

I am curious to know what the current GCT rate is? Some menus list it as 16.5%, one is 15% and I have seen a few with 10%... Specifically referring to the GCT not Service charge.

Excellent question! Depending on when the business started operating, they may have been "grandfathered" in on the rate when they started. 10% would be the oldest establishments, 15% would still be an older establishment but not as old.

All new businesses have a 16.5 gct rate.
