Yes.. tips are technically included in the price since the waiters union made an agreement with the employers union that waiters salaries should be covered fully by the employer. And yes tips often has a relation to the price of the meal that again often has a relation to the level of service.. If you are just out of school or still studying then it might be different for you which makes the system even better since you are not expected to even tip and therefore pay what you feel like.
