Default Any Restaurant owners out there?

From my understanding, the state allows certain businesses to pay less than minimum wage if the minimum wage will be achieved through tips. I believe the restaurant has a choice on how to collect tips to manage this process. It appears this place has a jar for tips. That would be used for the "tip credit" talked about in the article to which I posted a link. This tip credit allows the restaurant to manage the monies paid to employees to ensure minimum wage to all.

I believe it is illegal for the restaurant to "keep" the tip money.

Restaurant owners can chime in here as I am getting out of my expertise!
