Tipping has become a hotly debated topic in major restaurant markets across the United States. Furthermore, a specific aspect of tipping, tip-pooling, is the subject of a recent lawsuit that may even make its way up to the United States Supreme Court before it is fully adjudicated.

Some states do this by allowing a tip credit for employers who employ tipped employees, and some do not. Some independent and corporate restaurant operations have eliminated tipping entirely or gone to a system of set tip percentages that are applied, in the form of a service fee, to every sale involving tipped employees.
