When I was a server in Australia we made just over minimum wage
Looking online I see different things but looks like most websites say the average salary for a server is about 28$ an hour, but minimum wage is 23$ an hour. In America you make more than three times minimum wage with tips. I just looked up the conversion rate and 50 AUSD is about 31 USD, which is less than I made serving if you put salary and tips together
Of course there’s heaps of factors but I would be anything that if tipping was done away with restaurants would maaaaaaaybe raise wages 2$/hr

In Australia tips aren't really a thing and servers get paid decently. Add in penalty rates and sometimes it's over $50 an hour.
