Default Gratuity

I just started my own catering business and was curious if other caterers automatically add gratuity for all or some events? Does it depend on the size of the event?

Thanks,
Sheri

IMHO, a "gratuity" is a "gift", not a "charge".

If you want to apply a "service charge", go ahead, just do not call it a "gratuity"!
