Depends on what state you live in. For example, CA requires wait staff to be paid at least minimum wage. Also, many cooks are also receiving minimum wage.
All wait staff have to be paid minimum wage, it’s a federal law. If they don’t make minimum wage in tips, then the employer has to make up the difference.
Which is a massive pain in the ass to actually track and prove, and employees who do it don’t tend to stick around for long. Especially if you (like me) live in an at-will employment state where no reason for dismissal is required.
