It is not permissible for the restaurant owner or the employees to allow the serving of alcohol or to assist in its consumption in any way, because alcohol and everything connected to it are cursed. As for tips, it is not permissible to take them except with the knowledge and permission of the restaurant owner. Regarding breaking the contract, if a specific work duration has been agreed upon, it must be fulfilled because the hiring contract is a binding contract, and it is not permissible to terminate it except for a legitimate excuse.
