✕Common Mistakes
Non tout.
You need the verb “c’est” to link the negation with the pronoun; otherwise the sentence is ungrammatical.
Non, c’est tout le.
Adding “le” changes the meaning to “it’s the whole …”, which is not what you want here.
Non, c’est tɔt.
Pronouncing “tout” as [tɔt] (like English “taught”) is wrong; the correct French pronunciation is [tu].

Cultural Tip
In French service contexts, a short “Non, c’est tout” is considered polite and efficient. It signals that you’re satisfied without sounding abrupt. Remember that “tout” stays masculine singular even when referring to a mixed or feminine set of items, because it functions as a neutral pronoun here.
