The logic (such that it is) is that the Federal minimum wage is still $7.25 . The “plus tips” is intended to make up the difference. If that person makes less than $4.25/hr in tips, the management is supposed to make up the difference. (And, in fact, the Federal minimum for “plus tis” is $2.13.)
This varies by state, some states have higher minimums, both straight minimums and minimums for tipped employees.
