I've seen restaurants that put "we will add a 20% gratuity to every bill" on the menu, which is a good idea but restaurants still need to do it. And "every restaurant just do X" is also not realistic.
My suggestions are twofold:
1. Remove any exception in minimum wage laws for "tipped employees". So at least they're now making minimum wage.
2. Outlaw tipping. Hard to enforce, but it does mean that every piece of software (apps, in restaurant screens) will no longer have the option to tip. So if people want to tip they need to do so in cash, and paying in cash is rare and getting rarer.
2. You can't force a market to act in a certain way, you can't make everyone stops tipping.
It's a problem which exists only in your head, decide how much to standard-tip in advance and then just use that amount to think about how expensive a place is. If people treat you badly for it (either bad service or reputation among peers) raise it and shop in cheaper places.
You can't change the world, change yourself.
of course you can, simply make tipping illegal and it will stop
Simultaneously, laws that allow employers to pay different minimum wages and required extra effort from the employee to get the full minimum wage are also jerk moves.
And no, servers do a lot lot more. Have you actually worked any of these jobs? I did both.
There's a reason it's so damn cold in a lot of restaurants, serving is really hard work.
Kitchen work is kinda fun, serving is not, but you can make good money if you're good, due to tips.
The restaurants being cold is news to me, majority of the places I’m familiar with felt like room temperature, except for drafts when the door is opened.
Oh, nevermind, it's the restaurant world, where owners figured out how to blame someone else other than themselves for slaver-level pay.
