Food & Dining Practical Tips & FAQ
Is tipping expected in Chinese restaurants?
Absolutely not. Tipping does not exist in mainland China. The bill total shown on your QR ordering screen or receipt is 100% all-inclusive. Never feel obligated to add tips — servers do not accept them.
How do I scan table QR codes to order food?
Open the camera scan tool inside WeChat or Alipay, point at the table QR sticker to load the digital photo menu, select your dishes, and pay directly.
