Olive Garden

As of July 2, 2026, Olive Garden's publicly available materials state: Parent company Darden eliminated automatic large-party gratuity in early 2014 in favor of suggested tip percentages printed on checks. Tabletop tablets rolled out chain-wide from 2015 accept card tips. Current company materials state hourly team members' earnings include tips but do not describe tip-pool or tip-out mechanics.
