Great idea, but it does require a private dining room. This wouldn't work in a public space, like a restaurant, for the simple reason that "the Jefferson" cannot control attendance. To put it bluntly, when someone breaks the rules you will need to eject them. And that can only be done when you have full control over the space - so, a private dining room. This inherently requires capital, capital enough to own or rent such a room, which puts this modality out-of-range for a lot of people.

I've been at way too many events where, even with a round table, it quickly becomes a real effort to speak with more than a couple of people on either side of you.
