ATX Cocina Taking of Waitstaff Tips FLSA Complaint

February 18, 2021

When customers leave tips at a restaurant, those tips belong to the waitstaff. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the restaurant and its owners or managers are not permitted to take them for their own benefit or use. The complaint for this class action, however, alleges that the restaurant ATX Cocina, LLC took some or all of the tips customers left for the waitstaff.
