That is a pretty tall guarantee. You must have some inside information.

I once worked for a company in the service industry that would tell clients that their fee included everything, the service, tip, and tax and then put the total on a credit card. Then the company kept all of the money and told us that the tip money was used for advertising and we got more business because of it. The client didn't tip because they thought they already did when they booked the job.

I worked at another company that insisted that we turn in all of our tips and they then gave us back half of the tip in a paycheck and kept the rest. This was a business with per job tips in the $50 to $300 range so it amounted to a lot of cash for the owner. Before you ask, there were many regular customers so the owner knew what the tip for that job would be.

So............don't be so sure that the employees are well taken care of!
