Though I completely agree that all restaurant employees should get paid more, particularly BOH when there is a gap between them and FOH, the issue with a revenue sharing model is that restaurants are already extremely expensive to open and historically operate on very thin margins. For example if a restaurant costs $500,000 to open (this is very reasonable cost) and the restaurant does a 10% margin on $1,000,000 in sales a year it takes them 5 years to pay off their debt (before taxes) before they're every truly making money.
Realistically restaurants need to raise prices across the board.
