My girlfriend works at a pretty nice restaurant in Red Deer and claims about 30 percent of her wage. 15 percent of total sales is a complete joke as there are a ton of #######s who can seemingly afford a $200 tab but only manage a $5 tip. Or the odd elderly (not singling them out just always seems to be the case from her stories) couple or group who have a$350 table and accidentally enter $0.35 on the machine. Add the fact that tipping out to the kitchen, bartenders etc is common practice and 15 is definitely not the norm.
