You need $25 over the night above wage to get to $20 per hour so with 20 tables you need $1.25 above tip out to hit that mark.
I'll probably drop to a 7% tip once minimum wage is increased.
However the kitchen is getting paid more so tip out to the kitchen should drop as well so maybe it does drop to 5%.
Or maybe restaurant owners will take this opportunity to eliminate tips from the system and have a madatory service fee instead of raising prices
