+1 to foodler - just finished dinner bought and delivered with BTC.  Very easy to do and the entire process was perfect.

Alright alright, I didn't know that there was an eating in restaurant option!

Is that really offered?   Then why do they only show takeout / delivery on the site?

It's not - I was fantasizing about a utopian future (edit: in which they modify their app with tick boxes and drop down menus).

little bit offtopic:

There is a veryyyy nice sushi/japanese food restaraunt in my city. And  you can order "all you can eat". They give you a nice ipad to order all the all you can eat food!

It wouldn't be too difficult for them to make this work for people actually sitting and eating in these restaurants - since the restaurants are already integrated into foodler, they wouldn't have to set up any special POS system.
*sits down at table*
*opens up foodler on smartphone*
*sets delivery address to restaurant*
*submits order*
*waitress arrives*
"Would you like to start out with something to drink?"
"No ma'am.  I've already ordered."
*Huh*


* sits down at table
* waitress: "we are foodler enabled, but I can process the order the old fashioned way if you prefer"
* "foodler is perfect - we would not have come otherwise"
* opens up foodler on smartphone
* ticks 'eating in restaurant' box - table 6 from dropdown menu
* "what would your recommend?" - "chicken"
* submits order
* drinks arrive
* "cheers everyone"
* food arrives
* a little bland - salt added. Chicken undercooked, but not dangerous
* food is eaten
* "how is the food sir?" - "very nice thank you"
* waitress's QR scanned from her T-shirt - tip sent

On it!  Seems to have a good list of my local spots here.  PM me if you want a referral code.  It looks like you can use the BTC for credit (Foodlerbucks) for any restaurant. 

I agree, as a community it's important to support business that will accept BTC.  If you see something, buy something!

Valid at all 12,041 Foodler restaurants!

This is how we win.   Foodler went out on a limb to begin accepting bitcoins.   Now it is up to us to patronize them by ordering from those restaurants through Foodler.  When the decision to accept bitcoin as payment equates to increased revenues, then the trickle of merchants we have now will turn into a steady stream of merchants coming onboard.  Which in turn creates incentive for the supply chain to begin accepting bitcoins as payment from the individual merchants who can save versus converting all of their coins to cash.   Close the loop.

The list of restaurants could fill out a little more but I'm going to go a little out of the way to get to one to be able to try this ... my first food order purchase paid for with bitcoins.

The list is pretty good in my area.

LTC -> BTC -> Silver!
Oh man, this is awesome! My girlfriend has been giving me a real hard time about my Bitcoin obsession. I can wait to order her food from the place down the street she's been wanting to try using "fake internet money."

You may want to use bitspend.net to spend it on the Internet.
Thanks Elwar, their fee structure is very reasonable.

That is awesome... really awesome. I used foodler when I was in Boston early this year, everything worked out better than expected...

Please support their decision by ordering a takeaway from them once a week! I would!

This is almost as great as being able to get pizza for Bitcoin.  Now I can get whatever Grin

Would be better if my local grocer would take them but this is a step in the right direction.
