Can a hibachi waitress be required to share her tips with the cooks?

Описание: Can a hibachi restaurant require waitresses to share their tips with the cooks? Attorney Tran explains that the answer depends on where the cooks work — back-of-house cooks cannot legally receive tips, but hibachi cooks who perform tableside in the dining room may qualify as tipped employees. When restaurants get this wrong, they're violating the FLSA and effectively stealing tips to subsidize kitchen wages.
