I’m not sure what your definition of many is, but all the ones I’ve been involved with the Tips were only split amongst the Wait Staff (Servers, Busses, Bartenders and maybe the Hostess). The kitchen staff normally doesn’t get cuts of the tips. If they do it would normally be a very small percentage. Of course there are exceptions to every rule.

Wait staff also normally get taxed on the total sales. Last I checked Servers get taxed ~8% for Federal Taxes on their sales. So in the case where the server got stiffed he actually made negative $ by serving Veggie Lover, since he would still get taxed on that sale.
