All 3 plus Lonely Planet mention that 10% tip/service charge is normally added to a restaurant bill.
There are no kangaroos in Vienna, and Mozart never travelled to Sydney.

Lonely Planet says tip 10% if not already included.
It is true to say that I'd round €0.26 to €0.30 ...
for example: 9,90€ -> 10€ (,50€)/ 12,40€ -> 13€/ 5,60€ -> 6€

I see never any service charge on my bill and if the try it i call the Mananger. What did you do if nobody pick your wallet? *gg*.I say it again and again,... there is no Restaurant who ad it to the Bill. Maybe any Tourist Restaurants.Yes that is in Vienna (and Austria) the common way. Maybe not in this small step.
for example: 9,90 -> 10 (,50)/ 12,40 -> 13/ 5,60 -> 6

Thanks for posting that sign, I knew that someone would understand my reference to "no kangaroos in Austria" !

5-10% Tipping is standard in Austria and a small minor number of other European countries (Hungary next door does as well)
