you mean the 10% cut that goes to the busboys? You pay tax on that, not the busboys. That's how it goes. It's nowhere near close to being taxable to the busbuys, unless you're making about $5K in tips each night. Been that way for the 50 plus years I've been alive. If that's an issue, then you can always seek the services of a tax attorney. But would be more effective to bus your own tables really.
