no they do not
A synonym for tips, referring to a server's tips, would be a gratuity.
Resteraunt managers used to take the servers tips but now it is the law that the server is entitled to most or all of the tip.
"your only pay is how much tip you earn, so it varies depending on how well you serve your customers."^However true this is not the entire truth; servers/waiters do get paid a very small salary depending on where you reside. For instance in Texas the wages are around $2.13-$2.15 an hour +tips and in NY the wages start at around $4.15 ish +tips. You must claim tips every day you work and the tips that you claim + your salary must be equal to or greater than the specific states minimum wage; If it is not than the restaurant you work for must pay you the difference .
gratuity
No, the tip is for the server. The restaurant should not be taking any percentage of the tips.
