I guess it depends on the owners. When I was an investor in a pizza restaurant 20 years ago, we as owners made the decision to absorb all the credit card costs so our staff got the full amount of the tip.
Here in Manitoba we have been the same for the last month or so as NYC with all indoor dining closed. Its just takeout (come in masked or contact less curbside) or delivery. I feel sorry for the restaurants as Skip the Dishes, Uber Eats etc take a big chunk of the bill for their service charges.
Its interesting on how things change. This time last year the banks had signs asking people to take off their sunglasses and scarves as they figured you were going to rob them if you kept them on. Now they have somebody at the door making sure your face is covered and giving you a mask if you left yours in the car or at home.
