If her employment contract with Applebees is what you say it is, she should get her hourly rate and the tipshare. If her employer does not honor that contract (and she needs to have some proof of what the contract is), then she has a number of different remedies under both contract and fair wage and hour laws. I would contact an attorney in that speciaty, to see what can be done, if she is not properly paid, per her employment contract.
