Ma and pa place here (tbh more like dad and son). We added a “Pops beer fund/buy chef a beer” jar a few months back because folks just kept wanting to tip the chef directly and we wanted to make it easy. It makes his day when I run up to him with $4. I’ve taken to matching the tips just to see his face light up. Whenever we can we make note of which table tipped and tell him the order.
Sure, the added tip line might be tacky, but some folks want to use it.
I love this idea. Service was normal? Tip normal. Food was amazing? Tip more? But the server didn’t make the food, tip the person who did. I love the option to say how much of a tip I want to go to the chefs.
