Doorman buildings are a luxury in New York City and are sought after for good reason. From providing security to collecting packages, doormen and other building staff do a lot to ensure their buildings are comfortable and pleasant.
It’s common practice to tip doormen, supers, concierges, and porters during the holiday season, yet most building residents struggle to determine the appropriate amount. For this reason, TripleMint created the digital Holiday Doorman Tip-O-Meter to help with your tipping needs.

TripleMint surveyed 100+ Manhattan doormen, using their tipping experiences and expectations to create the tipping calculator. It became one of our most popular pages, with over 17,000 page views after being featured on sites such as Time Out, Spoiled NYC , Travel + Leisure, Guest of a Guest, and Metro US.
On the actual Tip-O-Meter, it’ll ask the user questions relating to their regular tipping habits, use of doorman services, years lived in the building, building specifics, and their personal tipping habits. It caters to all types of tippers from Grinch to generous to create personalized, yet realistic tipping advice.
Although doormen also appreciate food, gift cards, and other personal gifts, cash tips are preferred. With the Holiday Doorman Tip-O-Meter, residents can be confident that their tips are appropriate and will be well appreciated by building staff.
