“Ten years ago, we recognized that the traditional tip model rewarded some employees, but left many employees behind — creating a huge disparity where some employees did very well and others did not,” the group said in a statement sent to the Los Angeles Times. The service fee, it added, “not only unquestionably benefits hourly employees, but it is unquestionably legal, having been vetted by independent leading professionals in the hospitality industry.
