I don’t know about every state, but in the US state I live in, if the tipped employee’s tips and wage amount to less than the true minimum wage (not the server minimum wage) the employer is legally required to make up the difference. I just confirmed this on my states labor department’s website (which I will not share as to not dox myself) I’m sure there are other states that have similar laws too.

My state doesn’t do that. I’ve never heard of that before. Are you on the East Coast?
