The Check
Restaurant fees and tipping pressure, reported by visitors
Surprise service charges, 'wellness' fees, guilt-trip tip screens — The Check shows what a spot really charges before you go. Search any restaurant, bar, or cafe to see its fees and tipping norms, reported by real diners. Spot a sneaky fee on your bill? Add a report in 30 seconds and help the next person. Browse it all on a map, on web or iOS. We're not anti-restaurant or anti-tipping. Just pro-knowing-before-you-sit-down. No shaming, no drama.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
Ever get the bill and find a 20% "service charge" that isn't the tip? Or a $5 "kitchen appreciation fee" nobody mentioned?
The Check is here to prevent this surprises:
🧾 Look up any restaurant, bar, or cafe and see its fees and tipping expectations before you go
📍 Browse a map of checkout experiences near you
📝 Got hit with a surprise fee? Report it in 30 seconds and help the next diner
📱 On the web and iOS
To be clear: we're not anti-restaurant and not anti-tipping. Margins are brutal and workers deserve good pay. We just think you should know what you're paying before you sit down, not after. No shaming, no drama, just transparency.
Would love your feedback — and if your local spot has a surprise fee (or is refreshingly upfront), add a receipt and put it on the map. 🙏
