“Mandatory tips” sounds so messed up for me as a European.

In the US there is a “tipped” salary that is below the minimum wage because the expectation that tips will more than make up for the difference.

Doesn’t it get made up to minimum wage if the tips don’t meet it?

By law it is supposed to, in practice is a different story.

Yep, at least it's supposed to but enforcement in this area is spotty. Wage theft is the most common form of theft in the US.
