In the end I get to keep about 2 % of the tips I receive from customers.

This is actually really terrible. Where I worked, since those folks made minimum wage or above (and I did not), we tipped about 30-40% back (which was split among them, and if they did something really awesome for us, it would be more), then the rest was ours.

We had a "bartender" but since we didn't serve spirits it was no more than opening a bottle of beer. Typically, the "bartender" was just a server assigned to bar - we all did our turn but did not tip back. I would imagine that if you were in an establishment that served spirits you would need to bartender to make drinks so you would tip back.
