I imagine restaurant chains could make this their competitive advantage:

"No hidden costs. Service included. No tips expected. What you seen on the menu is the real price"

I'd be inclined to choose such a place as a tourist from Europe, who's accustomed to tipping being optional.

That's not how most people think. JCPenny tried removing discounts and clearance sales so they could say "what you see is the real price" and it was a disaster. Most people aren't doing the mental math to decide what's actually more expensive.
