The currency of Switzerland is the Swiss frank (or franc), divided into 100 Rappen (or centimes).
Some restaurants accept Euros, but general if you pay by Euros, you will be given change in Franks, and you will get an inferior exchange rate to that in banks or cash machines.
Since the Euro is not accepted everywhere, it is best to tip in Franks.

Can you use euros in Basel Switzerland?
The Swiss have their own currency but I would not be surprised if you can spend Euros in hotels but you might not get a fair exchange rate. You had better ask in advance however. Of course you can use your Visa card most places and use an ATM to get Swiss francs. Most large shops (including supermarkets) and restaurants accept Euros in Basel. Even some street vendors accept Euros. This is because Basel is close to the border and receives a large number of shoppers, commuters and other day-trippers from France and Germany. The shops only accept Euro notes (no coins) and give change in Swiss Franks. The exchange rate you get will be less than that for a credit card or at a bank cash machine. If you are staying in Switzerland for more than a few hours it is better to get some Swiss Franks.
