Culturally, 18% is the absolute minimum nowadays. An average tip is north of 20%.
I typically do 20% and round to the next dollar. So if the meal was $56.14, I would calculate $5.60 as approximately 10%, double it to $11.20 and then add 66 cents for a tip of $11.86 do the final total is $68.00.
The servers only enter the total line in the system, so this makes it easier for them.
