Because when I worked in restaurants and bars it was fairly common for tips to be re-distributed. Sometimes it was a matter of the servers "tipping out" the busboys, kitchen staff, etc. Other times there was a pre-determined amount that would be taken to be distributed out.

Sometimes it can be a good thing. One restaurant I worked at we were supposed to give our busboy (each server had their own) 10%. Depending on who I worked with I would sometimes go as high as 50%; because that person would really work to make sure our customers were looked after, and I made a lot better tips because of it.
Psycnet knows what I meant but I should probably clarify my OP.

The owners are pocketing half of the tips for themselves and leaving the other half for the staff including the kitchen

Psycnet, her friend cant quit as they've sponsored her with a work visa. The work visa only allows you to stay in Canada while exclusively working for that employer
