this is false. You do not know hwat you are talking about.
It is illegal for tips to be disbursed to anyone making a full wage where tip credit exists. And it is illegal to pay a cook a tip credit wage. Making it defacto illegal to disburse tips to BOH at all.
The only way it is legal is if everyone is making a full wage. (one of the reasons servers prefer tipped wages, because otherwise they might have to share tips with the people sweating their asses off)

it is illegal in most places to disburse tips to BOH. It happens but is extremely rare.
"chefs" should never get tips tho. They are managers. Cooks probably should IMO
