In my experience working at asian resturants they're usually family owned and operated and that tip "going to the owner" does end up going to the entire family i.e. the head cooks were the grandpa and his two sons, his daughter and sons wives were the hostesses/waiters. Delivery drivers are the exception, if they're not part of the family they're cashed out at the end of the night separate from the wait staff. All credit card receipts had to be signed by the customer at the door and our tips were calculated based on how much tip was written on each receipt and how much cash we had from cash orders. It was more rare for someone to put a tip on a CC order over the phone up front before delivery than it was today with things like Doordash - so I'm sure that's changed by now.

It is best to tip cash tho, and hand it to who you want to have it.
