When I waited tables like 20 years ago, credit card tips were already around half of my tips. The places I worked, it was all tied into the computer, so when you cash out and it asks you how much you made in tips, the credit card tips were already filled in. I bet it's more like 95% cards now.
Totally anecdotal but gf is a server for breakfast/ lunch shifts at a local diner and it's about 50/50 for her still but it's also a population much more likely than average to actually have cash.
