regardless of the real reason, it is to offset 100% of the risk to the employees (no business, no tip, no salary), while keeping >80% of the profits (lot's of business, staff keep at most 20%)

all while making the client be the jerk.

It’s basically a ‘gig economy’. Waitstaff hang out and wait for customers to come in, who they may serve for the chance to make $1-5 a customer.
