Make it something close to what they would be expected to make

The customers pay the employees either way.
 

 
 
Yes, but they don't want to pay them.  Customers want to make a good
wage but want to buy stuff cheap.
 
I see no one yet tried putting a $$ figure on what a server should
make.   I will say, the right person in the right place can do far
better than minimum.

Sure we did Ed.  They should make state minimum wage or federal,
whichever is the lower.  The reason for 'lower' is California is crazy.
They can still get tips, but folks won't be guilted into it under the
premise they make only 2.13 an hour when that is actually *very rare*.
