Blind date dating restaurant

Question

What do you guys think of a restaurant based on the premise of it being a matchmaker for a blind date?

This would be a conventional restaurant that is solely focused on dating. You would have to fill out a questionnaire based on your interests, hobbies, personality, times you’re available, what you’re looking for in someone, etc. and include a few pictures of yourself all for some sort of initial deposit (maybe $10-$15). Then, a member of the restaurant would pair you with another person and would call you both to schedule your blind date. You would then both attend your scheduled blind date and have a fun time (if one of them didn’t show up and didn’t give prior notice of ~24 hours, they would lose their deposit and the other person would get theirs back. If both people show up and the date is successful they would receive their deposits back). I think this would be a great way for people to meet, and would also be really fun to do, especially given how rough the current dating scene is and
its heavy reliance on dating apps. The restaurant could include activities for the people as well as maybe some sort of trivia/games they could engage in to help break the ice. As far as restaurant style, I was thinking more casual — maybe Olive Garden meets sports bar.

There could also be specific days/times for different age brackets and sexual orientations so that the activities could be more appealing to the crowd. As far as pricing goes, I would like the restaurant to have reasonably-priced food so that people of all backgrounds can attend (~$10-$15 meals).

What do you guys think of this idea? I think it could be really cool, however I’m unsure whether this is already a thing (I’ve looked it up and couldn’t find anything), or if I’m correct on whether people would even engage in this, lol. I know I would.
