How do you go about using a credit card in a restaurant? I have never charged dinner before & don't know how.

Answer 1

Ask for the check, they will bring it, put the card on the check, they will pick it up, charge the account, bring back the receipt, if you want to add tip to the credit card, there will be a space for you to add the tip, just add it to the amount you charged so you know how much you spent.

They will then re-enter the card number and add the tip as well. I pay by card and tip in cash.

Answer 2

You use it just as you would with cash or check for the most part. Depending on the restaurant type, just give it to the cashier when paying. If a tip is necessary, you can let them know how much you would like to include. (I use cash when tipping to make it easier). Some fancier restaurants might bring you a small "book" with the bill and you can put your credit card inside and they will take it to the cashier and bring it back to you. In most cases, there will be a slip for you to sign to confirm your charge and you will get a carbon copy. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

It depends how hi-tech the establishment is.

Never go to a restaurant without a few coins in your pocket to tip the waitress with to start off!

When you have finished your meal, the server will either ask you to pay at the desk on your way out, or will bring you your bill. After handing over your credit card, you will either be asked to sign the reciept part, which the server should then check to make sure it matches or, they will have a hand held chip and pin system in which you will type your 4 digit pin number.

As long as you ensure you have more than enough on your credit card to cover the cost, paying with plastic is easy peasy.

Good luck and enjoy your meal!

Answer 4

At the end of your meal the waiter will bring you a little folder type thing that you may either place cash or a credit card into. If you give the server you card, it will be run and returned to you. At that time you include the tip and sign your reciept.

Answer 5

You give the waitress your card, when your meal is done. The wait person will usually give you a folder to put the card in, with the meal checque - so you know what it costs.

Or

If you have to go to the counter, give them your card.

Simple. Sign for the price, add a tip (you have to write it in) and you are done. Credit cards do not require a pin.

Answer 6

Don't know if it's the same where you are, but I just give the waiter/waitress my card and they use a wireless handheld card reader which you type your PIN (security code) into.

It may or may not ask you if you want to include a tip while paying in this way. I usually say no, and just give them cash as it's more likely to go directly to them rather than the restaurant, or even chain.

Answer 7

when the server brings the check, hand the server the credit card. when you sign the ticket there will be a place for the tip. write the tip amount in and add your bill plus the tip and write the amount on the total line!

Answer 8

Just give the waiter the credit card and they'll take the money off and if you'd like to leave a tip with it tell them and they'll take it off also. Well I love using my credit cards so i'd forsure know.

Answer 9

When they bring you the check you give them the card. They will bring you back a slip to sign and one for you to keep for your records. Just as a little side note - when I was a waitress a million years ago, I preferred a cash tip to one that was added to the charge total - they don't always get that money right away.

Have fun!

Answer 10

when you are done with dinner, you take your credit card out and walk out the door as you wave it over your head, it will automatically charge you for the meal. when the workers come out following you, it is customary to run away from them, its all part of the fun dining out experience
