Why dont restaurants post on the receipt what the tip sharing policy is? Or on the menu? They have a note about mandatory forced tupping for groups so why cant they add a line with the tip sharing percentages and the mandatory payouts by the server.
This is a dirty secret in the restaurant business that many customers arent aware of.

Dirty secret???
More like not far enough. The server is the least important part of the experience in a restaurant and has the easiest job outside of host. That the back of the house makes significantly less than the front is probably the greatest crime in the food industry. People go to school to hone their craft to become cooks and get paid like crap relative to the front of the house after tips are considered.
There should be an option to directly tip the kitchen
