You already do have it at restaurants. Only problem there would be trying to pass a credit card with a fake name on it, which is probably some type of fraud or bank crime in many jurisdictions.

I would suggest that a hotel owner has a right to know who's staying in the hotel, given the potential liability involved, and clearly many governments collect this information too. But I do agree with the point about hotel infosec. If a huge company like Marriott can't take care of my passport information, why would I expect some mom & pop joint with a photocopy machine to be able to do it?

I interpreted OP as truly attempting to travel under a false identity. If it's just a nickname vs given name thing or anglicized vs not anglicized, with no intent to deceive, then there are probably some simpler processes to handle that.
