OK, you can come to america and start a restaurant without tips and see how it goes. You can prove everyone here wrong!

or... places here have tried that before and almost all of them have failed because it's not sustainable to pay people $25+ an hour and customers won't pay the prices on that food when they can go down the street and pay half as much.

good news is you don't live here, so it's none of your concern really.

    where is that precisely? SF? LA? what is the income in that zip code?

    I have no doubt it's possible in a very high income area where people dont' care about paying $50 for hamburgers, but you're a fool if you think that's generalization to a zip code where the median income is 40-50K.

    Also, how long have they been around? months? years?

    a few places in my city went that route and closed after 2-3 years. they were experiments.
