Not in all states. California does not have a lower tipped minimum wage. It's at least $16 here last I checked (except $20 for fast food because "reasons")
Ah yes; for a bit my wife was making less as a preschool teacher than the minimum wage at McDonalds. I understand it caused a bit of turnover at the local public schools, since cafeteria workers and aides were making less than $20/hr in 2024 as well (I don't know if they still are).
It's $2.13 for tipped employees.

The 2.13 tipped wage is a great way to know if you're in a "shithole" state or not. Only shithole states keep that.
Same goes for the regular 7.25 federal minimum.
let’s not get too lofty, the federal base tipped wage is $2.13
gotta charge less than the hourly cost of a B200 to remain employed
