Unless it's business related dining, I'll tip a token amount on my CC and the rest in cash. This isn't to make it easier for "tax efficiency," but rather a courtesy in case the server needed the cash that evening and to ensure the restaurant owner doesn't short change him/her.

I'd wager this will worsen, as this morning's retail sales (excluding autos) is up higher than expected even with generally higher prices across the board. As more Americans return to their normal, relatively speaking, shopping habits restaurant demand should rise correspondingly. If they're not up to speed on staffing now, they ain't going to be.
We're probably going to see more of these signs and rising wages.
