Paying waitstaff workers $6.85 an hour assures two things: constant turnover and mediocre service. Something better comes along and they're out the door, and who can blame them? Much better to pay them more per hour, $10 or even higher. Probably more economical for the restaurant in the long run, cutting turnover costs and assuring more competent service (and thus more return business).

Yes it does. There is a "basic" minimum wage of $6.98 for servers, but if the tips are not enough, the employer must make up the difference to $10.00...
"Effective September 30, 2021 the minimum wage in Florida increased to $10.00 an hour, and the required cash wage for tipped employees increased to $6.98."
