Tipping etiquette in Indonesia:

Tipping is not mandatory but appreciated for good service.
In restaurants, a tip of 5-10% of the total bill is considered sufficient.
For small eateries or street food stalls, rounding up the bill or leaving loose change (Rp 1,000-5,000) is acceptable.
If service charge is already included (usually 10%), additional tipping is not necessary.
Consider tipping more for exceptional service or in high-end establishments.
Tipping in cash is preferred, as not all establishments accept credit card tips.
Be respectful and discreet when tipping, as ostentatious displays of wealth are frowned upon in Indonesian culture.

Remember, tipping is a gesture of appreciation, not an obligation. Adjust according to your satisfaction with the service and local customs.

In Indonesia, tipping at restaurants is not mandatory but appreciated. Many restaurants, especially in larger cities, already include a service charge (typically 5-10%) in the bill. If no service charge is included, leaving a small tip of around 5-10% of the total bill is considered polite. In casual or street food settings, tipping is less common, but rounding up the bill is a nice gesture.
