Service Charge Model
At Coperta, we are committed to paying our team a fair wage. As of April 2021, we will add a 23% Service Charge to your final bill in lieu of gratuity.
The Service Charge allows our kitchen, dishwashers and crew to earn additional wages as the traditional tipping model has been disproportional weighted to dining room employees. Restaurants are built on the collaboration and teamwork between the entire staff and we feel that wages and compensation should reflect that.
The Service Charge also augments wages and benefits to the entire staff including Paid Time Off and Benefits as well as fluctuating costs associated with operating a restaurant.
