Paying for servers based off of the price of the food just doesn’t make sense to me. If I order a super expensive caviar and super expensive bottle of wine the staff would be paid more than another server with large party that only orders inexpensive drinks. The second server would be paid less for doing more work.

I think they should just be paid a decent wage for doing their job well despite what the customer decided to order.

On a side note if the server has to do something like prepare a salad table side or flambé a dessert they should get a bonus for doing that.

I worked as a server at olive garden many years ago. They famously had their soup, salad, and breadsticks deal for like $6 something. People would run us ragged getting more of each thing. And we'd be lucky to get a $1 or 2 because the price was so low, but it was vastly more work than regular food.

Where I live, there's no separate minimum wage for tipped positions. It's the same as the regular minimum wage. Even so, it's still customary to tip, but just for some jobs. It's never made sense to me that it's customary to tip a Doordash driver but not a casual FedEx or UPS employee when the latter likely has more work to do and stricter deadlines to do it.

Do you want corporate efforts to reduce delivery driver wages and processes to demand you pay their wages through delivery tips? Because I am sure are ready to go on this endeavor as soon as you want.

It’s not going to the server, not unless the city has a minimum wage, or something. But any thing over that is 100% going to managment’s coffers.

ALL cities in all states have a minimum wage for all workers. By federal law

What percentage tip results in negative money?

I don't think you know how numbers work. Why would they be paying coworkers out of a tip that never existed?
