It's very slim, in the range of 2% to 10% on average.
Depends if it's a Ma and Pa place. I can tell you from experience, fine dining places, or even upscale places make far more. Places make a killing on catering, staff parties and the holidays in general. I worked at a place in Toronto, and the head chef has afford to open 2 restaurants in five years in the financial district.
Smaller places, like diners and family businesses don't make as much. But, more on topic, tipping is the nature of the food industry, as I see it. I don't see why people wouldn't tip.
