Some US restaurants are banning tips to pay staff higher wages
Some US restaurants are banning tips to pay staff fixed higher wages and reduce pay inequality between front-of-house and kitchen staff.

However, some customers struggle with the higher menu prices and other restaurants have switched back to a tipping model.
