How much do you tip the person who delivers your food?
I tend to use 20% as a baseline. Sure, the person isn't delivering plates to my table, but really, the person's delivering plates to my house. They're not refilling my glasses, but they're making sure everything gets there together and that it's the right temperature. I figure I'm paying for the convenience of someone else going to get the food for me, and if I don't want to pay for it, then I go and do pick-up, not delivery. Of course, the 20% is also variable based on quality of service and difficulty of conditions. Interestingly, I've been at a couple large parties where we ordered so much food I found I did have an upper limit -- about $50.
Also, megnut's got a good point. I've not worked in the restaurant industry, but I grew up in Vegas, and you learn a thing or two about minimum wage and living off tips there.

Pictures, text, a story -- comics are perfect! The dishes look great, but I have to say you're really brave to do the Tartare. I'm not sure why I think that's different than sushi, but there you have it -- I make irrational snap judgements. Also, pho is very close to the perfect food; it is the nectar of my gods.
