In restaurants, especially the fine dining ones, the bill includes a service charge. This payment is intended for the service given by the restaurant crew to make your experience in their premises worthwhile.

The service charge accounts for a fixed percentage of your total expenses. If your total expenses amount to $638.40, then the service charge would be equal to 638.4 (0.15) = $95.7. Therefore, $95.7 will be added to your original bill.
