How much to tip a caterer?

When I used a caterer two years ago, I did not tip her. The 'rule'(supposedly)is no tipping when it's the owner, as in hair Solon also. Her duties were the same as what yours is doing.

There is no tip. If things are far above your expectations you can give a little extra if you choose.
