Auckland entrepreneur Luke Dallow is advocating for a tipping culture in New Zealand's hospitality sector to help supplement waitstaff wages amid economic challenges. He proposes reducing menu prices while encouraging tips, with a fair distribution model benefiting kitchen staff. New Eftpos machines now allow tipping of 5%, 10%, or 15%.
