Food you order and pick up yourself from a restaurant.

Etiquette guidance

Tipping on pickup takeout is optional. Some people add a small tip when staff prepared a large order, handled curbside, or clearly went out of their way. Skipping the tip on a straightforward pickup is a normal and acceptable choice, and handing cash directly to a staff member is always a valid alternative.
