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 like the idea of a servers (and other staffs) full wages being covered off in the price of the food, rather then almost entirely being subsidized by tips. That way you could actually tip as an indicator of good service, rather then being guilted into it.
