For tipped employees, most of whom are getting all their federal and state taxes back at refund time, giving them the money directly does nothing other than increase efficiency of the overall system because you cut a party out of it.

It also doesn't create a cash flow problem, which lower income people are more susceptible to. Even if you claim that most of these employees would get this money back in a tax refund, that doesn't help if they have bills to pay month-to-month.
