As of today, Feb 21, 2011, Wait staff must receive 1/2 minimum wage ($7.25 = $3.63 hr). However the server must make the minimum $7.25 per/hr once tips and wages are combined. Any shortage of the $7.25/hr must be made up by the employer. Tips and wager divided by hours worked must equal at least $7.25/hr. The $2.13 Federal min server rate is trumped by the state of Missouri because the Federal law states the employee receives which ever is greater, state or federal.
A waitress usually makes around $2.50 to 3.50 an hour from the company itself. That's because waiters main income comes from tips. If you aren't making at least like 6.75 an hour (tips included/ whatever minimum wage is now for Missouri) then I believe the company is to pay you more. But don't quote me on that last part.
A waitress in training makes minimum wage (or whatever hourly is for a hostess/non-tipped position). The waitress who does the training keeps the tips.

If you're a good enough waitress minimum wage shouldn't mean anything. A good waitress can make 20 to 30 bucks an hour in tips alone if you work in a good restaurant.
