I'm also interested in this concept as I was a server for many years and know a couple people in the restaurant industry as managers who have been thinking of similar ideas.

I'd probaby not go to the restaurant if I thought that it was too expensive. When I go to a restaurant I don't determine the potential tip when I determine if I can afford to eat there. Just adding a 20% tip built into the prices would make me less likely to go if I thought I could get a similar meal for 20% cheaper somewhere else. I'd still tip 10-15% at the cheaper place and be ahead of the game.
