When Shake Shack founder Danny Meyer announced last week that he will be eliminating tipping in favor of paying servers a living wage at 13 of his full-service New York City restaurants later this year, the news sent a ripple through the hospitality industry.

Though the influential restaurateurs Shake Shack burger chain will not be affected, his other eateries making the change are city hot spots. The move adds weight to the the no-tipping movement, which a number of other restaurants nationwide have already joined.

The owners of one of them, Bar Marco in Pittsburgh, announced in January they were abolishing tipping at their small wine bar and cafe and implemented the change in April.
