Maybe you never ate there?  Jig & Lure was part of a new movement in the restaurant world, where instead of making a pittance of a wage and needing tips to bring it past minimum, the staff makes a living wage  --  usually $15/hr  --  and patrons pay a higher price, but do not tip.  

This is not such a big change here in WA State, where State law requires that tipped employees make minimum wage, but in the rest of the country, where tipped employees get paid much less than half the Federal minimum, it is a radical transformation. 

The menu prices at Jig & Lure included tax and tip, and the menu told you so.  The business with local charities started because people were still leaving tips  --  at the end of each month, the tips would then be given to a charity of the employees' choosing.   Of course, once the owner started making ends meet by cutting wages, tips really should have started going to the employees  --  but I guess no restaurant wants to admit it's struggling that badly.
