You should be getting close to that anyway if you're doing your job properly.

I would be perfectly good with that as long as the servers live up to their end of it too. My issue is when servers just assume that you should tip even if they are completely incompetent at their job. I don't even blame them if an order comes out not perfect or cooked the way I want but they can keep me something to drink and not crunching ice or staring at an empty glass.

Why not ban tipping all together? Hire a professional wait staff who makes a fair salary. The prices that EVERYONE pays for the food would reflect the higher staffing costs for the restaurant. No waiter gets shafted by a bad table then.

You sound like a disgruntled waitress or a black woman. Which is it?

My target clientele would be "professional diners." People who go to a nice restaurant and understand why they pay what they pay and what they should expect.
Chef driven menu (price point items catered to the market) but varietal menu overall with some dynamic options for daily creativity
-Great plate presentation
-Ensure all servers are extremely knowledgeable about menu/drinks
-Outlined private party options
-Great decor determined by region/demographic
-Experienced bartender and a bar area that's not too close to the dining room(s)

They have this. It's called a buffet.

Sorry, o for 2. I have never worked in the service industry. I was just thinking if you removed the "optional" tipping portion of the bill, it would raise the level of your clientele. I could be completely wrong though.

No seafood platters or blenders...which means no Pina coladas or strawberry daiquirs

Rude wait staff that thinks they are better than you, a menu where no one can pronounce anything, 3.5 gram servings and colored sauces drizzled on every plate.
