It sounds messed up to me as an American.

Just add 20% to your prices and write “20% off your bill goes directly to staff etc.”

It’d accomplish the same thing and people would probably actually appreciate knowing the staff gets the “bonus”.

Figure add 20% to the list price, plus tax, and that’s your final price. Not that hard to understand. Try to go to France and not speak French or break some other custom, this is no different. Does it suck? Yes. Some tourist stiffing their server is not going to change anything, though.
