So, We have some third-party app that takes the order and takes money in bitcoins and then processes the order just like foodpanda does?

I have not tried out takeaway.com

Yes, it's middlemen on top of middlemen, lol. Burger King in this cases pays a fee to Takeaway for the exposure/listing of your restaurant, and then pays ShitPay a 1% fee.

Important to point out is that Takeaway has been accepting Bitcoin in several countries (Belgium, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, etc) they are operational, and that for years now.

They accept bitcoin via Bitpay

no chance, more like Takeway-your-privacy.com


Maybe cointelegraph is not paying much to their writers.

Bitcointalk users are getting paid zero, yet somehow they're able to give people accurate information?

Just another poor quality article from cointelegraph. I suppose that's one way to do your journalism - post any old nonsense and wait for people to correct you with the actual facts. Roll Eyes Cunningham's Law in action.

Burger King are not accepting bitcoin.

Takeaway.com is a fast food delivery company, similar to Uber Eats. They accept bitcoin via Bitpay, and have done for years. They also happen to do home deliveries for Burger King in Germany. Therefore, if you order Burger King for home delivery online in Germany, you can pay with bitcoin via takeaway.com via Bitpay. Bitcoin won't be accepted in Burger King restaurants because obviously you do not place orders in physical restaurants via takeaway.com

surprisingly enough their German site does feature bitcoin as one of the payment methods , could find anything similar on their UK or other county's sites , including Russia:

The German arm of global fast-food chain Burger King now accepts Bitcoin (BTC) payments on its delivery website and mobile application.

Despite BTC's sudden apperarance on its official website, it is unclear whether Bitcoin is also accepted in the 600 physical Burger King restaurants across Germany.

BK embraces crypto again
In summer 2017, Burger King Russia announced it will start accepting Bitcoin payments, and then introduced their own virtual currency called Whoppercoin. Also in 2017, BTC started to be accepted by a restaurant in Arnhem, a city in the Netherlands.

According to Crunchbase, Burger King launched in 1954 and is headquarted in Florida. The company now boasts 13,000 locations and serves 11 million customers a day in 98 countries worldwide. The chain has estimated annual revenues of $1.7 billion.
