The word is derived from a French word meaning 'collection box' and a lot of restaurants use it as a fair way of sharing tips. The front-of-house staff receive the tips because they are seen by customers, but kitchen staff who contribute to the service are often missed out, so this is a fair way of using the tipping system.
