Tipping rules are officially changing at Quebec restaurants next week

In May 2025, new regulations in Quebec will change how tipping is managed in the province. Restaurants and bars will be required to pool tips and distribute them among all employees, not just those who directly receive them, like servers. This aims to ensure fairer compensation for all staff members. The changes reflect ongoing efforts to address wage discrepancies and improve working conditions in the hospitality industry. However, there is some debate among workers regarding the impact on income distribution.
