Not too suprising her business didn't last long.

At wife's restaurant tips left on CC are paid out in cash each night....their computerized register prints out amounts and is taken out/added to waiter's bank. The payroll program picks up the actual amount of CC tip and it is reported on their W2. If no tip is left or its a cash sale, the program assumes a 10% tip and logs that for reporting on W2. Thus you can see why a cash tip of over 10% would be especially appreciated.
Each waiter does their own payout of 2.5% of tips each shift that is pooled for dishwasher/busboys based on the hours they work to be tipped out in cash each week. It can be a bookkeeping nightmare.
