Myself and one other partner is on our restaurants payroll.
We do the front end operations - manning the cash counter, talking to customers etc.
Ours is a fast food restaurant and so there are no waiters - just 1 chef and 1 cleaner.
We are thinking of retaining 50% of the tips at the LLC. (the other 50% would be distributed between the chef and the cleaner) Are we allowed to do this?
If not, can we include the tips in our payroll as part of our paychecks?
