I wish there was a list of Bay Area restaurants that don't require tipping. I discovered one last Friday and look forward to returning for the good food, service, and fair wages.

Sadly this one only covers Sweden but you can look up what restaurants have signed the contract with the union. This guarantees fair wages and working conditions. The law in Sweden is pretty free so there exists unions that are supposed to talk to the companies and get an agreement on what is fair both ways.

This may be helpful (anywhere in the US, not just the Bay Area): http://bit.ly/tip-free-restaurants

I recently went to Homestead in Oakland, which includes tips. The service was top notch, despite what the include-the-tip naysayers claim will happen.

Homestead is truly excellent!

I'm impressed by the pervasiveness of the belief that people won't, for the most part, try to do good work simply for the sake of taking pride in their work. It's such a remarkably pessimistic way to regard other people.

Or, just to keep their job! I don't take pride in my work but I make good money and I don't want to risk my job. so I do fairly high quality work.

Half Orange by Fruitvale BART notably comes to mind.

Would you mind sharing the name of the restaurant?

Ah it's the Japanese chain taking its operational playbook from HQ (I think, though it'd be interesting if hey deliberately made a decision to exclude tipping)

Kebabery in Oakland is great
