Topic: Burger King Accepts Bitcoin (Read 3046 times)
the way i see it is a popular place (even if it is just one place) is accepting bitcoin. which means every day customers that eat at that branch will see bitcoin and realize there is more to bitcoin and bitcoin payment than what the media is trying to show.
Even if it is just a franchise this is outstanding visibility for bitcoin. I'm sure lots of people who visit Burger King have never heard much about bitcoin and so to see it being accepted in a mainstream outlet is a good thing!
Eh, maybe to an outsider. In reality, though, people should understand how businesses work. I can pay a small sum of money to get a franchisee license for McDonald's. I can then tell people I accept BTC. That doesn't magically make McDonald's accept BTC -- it just means I do.
In the case of this, Burger King doesn't care if the owner accepts BTC, Zimbabwe dollars, or rocks -- they only care that they are paid in fiat, in the proper amount, every month. They don't care where it comes from or how he got it.
After they saw that you can pay with Bitcoin in the Burger King. Maybe Mc Donalds or something will do it also.
Wow Burger King in the Netherland now accepts bitcoins

I really hope this becomes a trend for the other burger kinds in the Netherlands... To bad the nearest burger king for me would be Maastricht, but even then i would have to drive for over 40 minutes to get there.
Burger kind from my house is just at 5 minutes drive , if they accept bitcoins it would be great.
Cool, I know a Subway quite near from here does the same but I'm still not sure as to how exactly do I pay and if they still are accepting BTC. I remember the news being about a year old
Then go and order and eat a burger and ask them how do i pay with bitcoins and share with us
?And that will be great also for the future, and we make Bitcoin more popular and that is also good.
But first Bitcoin must be more used. That is the first step. And the value must also rise.
People using this would be so infrequent the cashiers would look at you stunned if you said you wanted to pay with bitcoin.
I recall going to get this giftcard from gas stations that they print off from a machine. It would take 10 minutes of them saying they do not have that and then finally looking and seeing they did but had no idea how to operate it. Even though it shows up on a map that they all had this service.
Anything out of the norm and the kid behind the till has to turn on his brain,anything can happen.

Good to see that a big fast-food service is accepting the future coin. Would be nice if more services accept btc soon. Easiest payment and cheaper service, right?
Its really good that its accepting the bitcoin, I hope more burger kings in all kind of country's will follow, I think this is also a bit of a test if it works they will introduce it to other burger kings.
Also the fact that the Netherlands is also a leading country's if you talk about the bitcoin stores they are having.
I think they will be one of the first that are gonna accept the bitcoins for more things online and in real life.

Finally a big company is stepping in, The Netherlands is also really busy with the bitcoin as I can see on the media if I search for it.
I think they are also far with the bitcoin, comparing with Brazil they are pretty busy with the bitcoin both.

That is really cool I will try this out in Burger King Utrecht in the Netherlands.
You'll be disappointed, try Arnhem.
That is pretty cool if you ask me the fact that a big company is accepting it is really cool, I think more fast food restaurants will follow in that country for sure.
I hope its just a matter of time before this is gonna happen globally.

Well that is really a good thing if people will be accepting bitcoin in such kind of fast food chains. This is really a very good news although this branch is really too far and somehow this maybe applicable soon for future companies. This is very helpful in many ways..
That's another bitcoin adaption succession
Sadly this event only happen on early bitcoin developer country mostly. But I'm still believe that one day , bitcoin will also appear at my place since it need more time to get BIG & Well Known. Once it happen , everything will go faster than ever ...

It will happen faster if you go and spread the word not only wait..
Everyone wait that Bitcoin will jump to mainstream "just like that". We all have to help in that.
Big things are made up of small things.
Goods news! But apparently it is limited to only to one restaurant in Netherlands. This is individual decision of one BK in Arnhem, because this place is called bitcoin village or something.
I wish instead it was a trial move decided by global management of the company to see if Bitcoin is suitable as payment method everywhere.

Hey, I also accept Bitcoin for Burgers. But well, I probably should enhance my cooking skills...
places like fast food restaurants (burger king) are the best place to start spread the word about bitcoin because the is always all kinds of people who are eating there and it never will be restricted to a particular group of people like steam accepting bitcoin which is only gamers.
Well not really,cause there might be a variety of age's visit such places to eat or to spend some time and using bitcoins involves a lot more headache than cash.Wow just imagine what would happen if the whole franchise would accept bitcoin. The coin would get such a big boost.
Financially and PR wise.
Hopefully it is test for at least Netherlands. Financially and PR wise.

Hopefully it is test for at least Netherlands. It for sure will be big step in mainstream direction if all Burger King will accept Bitcoin. Fingers Crossed! Financially and PR wise.

Eh, maybe to an outsider. In reality, though, people should understand how businesses work. I can pay a small sum of money to get a franchisee license for McDonald's. I can then tell people I accept BTC. That doesn't magically make McDonald's accept BTC -- it just means I do.
In the case of this, Burger King doesn't care if the owner accepts BTC, Zimbabwe dollars, or rocks -- they only care that they are paid in fiat, in the proper amount, every month. They don't care where it comes from or how he got it.
Sure, but any franchise has prescribed guidelines on how to operate within their standards. I was part of a super market franchise a few years ago, and they even dictated where I could buy from and in what quantities. I got fed up with these strict guidelines, or let's rather call it rules and I sold the business. If the main franchise have some issues with Bitcoin, they will make sure you hear about that. You will jump through a lot of hoops to keep them happy, even paying more for stuff from their list of suppliers, when you can get the same product cheaper from another. It is just the way they work. ^hmmmmm^
The companies like Coinbase and Bitpay must approach them, not the franchisee.
