This was a sub point of your point. For server's wage, the business is required that a server make at least $7.25 an hour. So, - if nobody comes, the restaurant can't pay you server's wage, they pay you minimum wage ($7.25) - If a server receives $4 in an hour of tips, the restaurant has to add in $1 to the $2.35 ==== And for long term employees with weekly/monthly paychecks, hopefully this all equals out or benefits the server. If the server takes cash tips and doesn't report them, or works under that expectation, then that server has somewhat unlawfully opted out of the system.
