As for the terrible service that would come from paying the servers a fixed $30 an hour wage I think that is BS. Most industry employ people who work hard without the immediate reward of tips and I don't see why the restaurant can't do the same. Maybe the manager would need to step up and start managing his people better to maintain service levels. I would think you can find good waiters if you were advertising $30 per hour.

Exactly what you said in your first paragraph. Prices would have to go up, the place would get less customers, you start losing money, bam restaurant is gone. Restaurant industry is competitive enough as it is, nobody is willing to be the one to try out a no tipping system.
