You’ll notice we’ve included a 20% “administrative fee” to your check. This is not a tip, service fee or gratuity. Rather the administrative fee is used to provide equitable wage for all of our employees. 

In the state of MA, tips cannot be shared with anyone who provides your dining experience besides the service employees. This contributes to a wage gap between service employees and the back of house employees, perpetuating the inequities that our industry faces. In efforts to not embrace the traditional wage gap between service and back of house employees, the entire 20% admin fee is shared fairly between all employees who create your dining experience. 

Tipping is not required nor expected from our guests.  However, tipping is not prohibited and is greatly appreciated by our service employees. 

We take pride in our equitable-pay work environment which further promotes the positive restaurant culture we all deserve as professional adults. 

Thank you, 

Chef Rachel & The Nightshade Team
