It's normal to tip 10% to 15% in restaurants. This is lower than in the US, because our minimum wage is higher.
I normally tip food delivery if I'm paying then anyway, but not if I paid online earlier or something.

We don't have to tip in restaurants but some people do. There's not an exact amount you can give, just give what you want.

People tend to only tip if the service was good at a posh restaurant. Tipping a cab driver, at a Mc Donald's, or at a pub, could come across as if you are trying to flaunt wealth. It would also seem out of place at cafés.
