the only way the CRA could audit you as a waiter would be to go through Credit / Debit card slips to review tips (they may be able to extrapolate that over your sales to account for cash tips, as POS systems will have your sales records). they could also look at your bank account, but that would be much harder to prove anything.
i think a rule of thumb based on certain research is a good way to go. if you make less, then declare that - you're never doing wrong by declaring accurately, but reasonable rules of thumbs would not be looked down upon.
