Service and VAT are included in the menu price in restaurants, bars, etc. all over Germany. Still, it is typical to “round up” the amount to some more or less round figure. A rule of thumb is to add 5-10%, generally to a full amount. It is not typical to leave your money on the table after you receive the check but pay the waiter/waitress directly.
