Back in the dark ages when I was doing it we'd keep our own banks and just turn in the cash we took in minus our tips. So essentially we'd get out tips every night. Modern day there are very few people who pay cash so there usually isn't enough money to get cash for tips so restaurants have taken to just putting everything on paychecks. The IRS is generally happier with this for obvious reasons.
