Those are tip numbers reported by Square. Original reply was to comment about tipping at restaurants, not POS tips. I found 16.1% surprisingly high for Square tips, actually. But even then, 15% is below average.

Plus being from Square I imagine the data will be biased by the suggestion to tip / preset amounts.
