I'm fine with doing away with tipping. But the only people who will pay less under a no-tipping model are the people who are currently tipping very generously.

I think wages remain the same so incomes of servers drop in the short term overall prices drop. You would never pay someone $50 per hour for a Friday night shift. Over time wages would rise in restaurants that want to provide a service. So BPs probably would still pay like crap but Rouge likely pays more.
I would expect more differentiation in price changes under a no tip model.
