As is the case in most US restaurants. I did my stint serving tables
too and at ou restaurant, you tipped out a percentage of sales each
shift to bus boys and bar-tenders. Of course, we also extra tipped
our best bartenders and bus boys, just as you would like to give a
better tip to your favorite server ;0)

patrons from giving something directly to the waiter.? So you need to
understand if they are doing that and also how they divide up the
tips---some enterprises allocated some to the owner and some to the
waiter and some to the busboy and some to the cook.? So that is
essential to understand that?prior to starting any employment here.

because the owners or other employees will want that to go into the
overall tip jar.? Of course, I have no idea how Expats does it and
just am relating experiences from other places in Honduras and this
is nothing at all specific to Expats.
