Over here pretty much every restaurant I've enquired about jobs in or known people to work for the chain it's standard to make the waiter pay. It got to the point that I would often ask in interviews about that policy because it can be such a big important policy to know.
Thankfully in our branch of Pizza Hut we used to break the rules let alone bend them, if you had a table run and we were still open depending on who was managing the shift you could distribute items to other tables and thus "clear" the cheque and get rid of it. Essentially if Table R4 ran and table R2 then ordered 2 Pepsi's you'd move the 2 pepsi's over to the other bill by paying them on one cheque then entering them printing the cheque and then voiding them on the R2 cheque so it shows on the receipt since customers query it but they won't be giving the cash for them. Amount of times I would have to take care of doing that for staff members was seriously unreal. Still try to run when you're a snot nosed 15 year old on me and I will smurf your trout up.
