I asked her why they wouldn't accept Bitcoin payments but have the walls decorated with bitcoin stickers, banners and crypto wallet ads. She explained they have some sort of franchise deal and get paid for keeping the ads on the wall but they don't really know how Bitcoin works or how it can positively impact their business.

Do have the obligation to accept payments using bitcoin even though they decorate restaurant wall with a bitcoin sticker, if indeed they have concluded a franchise agreement and paid to place an advertisement on the wall, it means they have no responsibility for accepting payments using bitcoins. Bitcoin adoption has indeed been running so rapidly in various countries, but not all places accept payments using bitcoin.

You offer dinner together with restaurant management, I assume you intend to teach them to accept bitcoin payments, I don't think that will work easily and will not change the way payments are made in the restaurant. If a bitcoin campaign has graced the walls of their restaurant, it's highly unlikely they don't know how.

For now, I don't want to use bitcoin to pay for something because there is still a lack of information on how to use bitcoin and so on.
But if you want to teach him about bitcoins, it's a good idea so he can know and use bitcoins too and maybe he can teach the people who visit the restaurant.
If you want to use bitcoins as a means of payment, you can find places or local shops that really understand how to use bitcoins and not because of an agreement from the franchise.
That will be better so you will not feel anything like before.

I guess, the restaurant owner will surely learn something positive from the dinner that will add value to her business, that will make others business women to ask what is she using to make progress in her business. With this good information you have spread in your community concerning Bitcoin, it will really make the community to invite you to Christmas every year so that they will continue to learn more from you.

Lol you all should stop I haven't much fun this days..
How can you open bitcoin restaurant in your neighborhood though is very good you can see people can pick much interest from there it will motivate them and put more effort to the forum so that's awesome

At first Op thought the restaurant accepts Bitcoin as a means of payment but later discovered that don't and they banner there was just some form of advertising for the company.
I just used "Google image search" to search for the logo in the banner and a crypto wallet popped up (Skye wallet) I guess it's not a very popular wallet because this is my first time seeing the wallet.

I was also quite disappointed when I finished reading your post, it turns out that it's not a restaurant that accepts Bitcoin as payment, but rather a restaurant that displays advertising posters for one of the African exchanges. But honestly, you're brave enough to invite a restaurant owner for Christmas dinner and educate her about Bitcoin and its use in business LOL

This happens most of the time at multiple places. Recently in many cricket matches, I have seen advertisements of Crypto exchanges and lot of ads regarding crypto usage. But this doesn’t mean that you can buy the cricket match tickets with Bitcoins. The stadium and the league take the advertisements for the sake of sponsorship only, they don’t care what is the product is about etc. At first reading the OP’s title, I was very curious and excited to know how they paid their restaurant bill with Bitcoins, but later on after finding about the advertisements, I was slightly disappointed. Nevertheless soon the eco system will change .

It's Christmas and I'm back in my hometown to spend the holidays with my family and friends. Today we decided to have lunch at a local restaurant. I was shocked to see the interior walls of the restaurant decorated with Bitcoin stickers, banners and bitcoin wallet ads. I didn't expect to find this in a small town, I was excited to show my friends how practical Bitcoin is. We placed our orders and when the bill came I asked if I could pay in bitcoin. The waiter stared at me with a blank face as if nothing I said made sense. Clearly this guys do not accept Bitcoin payment. I was furious...no disappointed...I quietly asked to see his manager, the lady came to see what the problem. I asked her why they wouldn't accept Bitcoin payments but have the walls decorated with bitcoin stickers, banners and crypto wallet ads. She explained they have some sort of franchise deal and get paid for keeping the ads on the wall but they don't really know how Bitcoin works or how it can positively impact their business. I could sense she wanted to learn what I knew, but it wasn't the time and place for a Bitcoin lecture. Instead, I invited her for Christmas dinner and promised to teach her Bitcoin.
Merry Christmas everyone

OP I really do not get what happened. Your topic sounds interesting and catchy and you started with a good tone on good keys but the story did not go down well as it was supposed to be. From the way you started, I was expecting you have educated the manager and the attendant at that very instant so they could get a brief and little knowledge about what bitcoin is all about but is was not clear why with the ads they were not having knowledge of what they have as wall paper having right there in their restaurant. Although it was working hours as you have stated, but atleast you should have made an attempt putting them on the know what they have as a wall decor in their restaurant is all about, then they would know what they have with them there. I believe if they had knowledge about it, they would have taken advantage of the situation and telling customers about the new development and payment option they now have so as to encourage more customers coming to patronize their services.

Anyhow this Christmas is going to be a special one for the Hotel owner as she's gonna learn something new. In specific knowing and learning about bitcoin is really important for the fast moving world that is much connected to the technology. It is good that more advertisements were giving visibility to the existence of bitcoin even in the rural areas of the country.

While reading, I assumed you were going to pay your fees in bitcoin, but that was not the case. Since they don't accept bitcoin as payment and are already advertising it, perhaps you should put them through before leaving your hometown after the holidays; it will be your own contribution to the bitcoin mass adoption we're all aiming for. I won't blame them for advertising a wallet that has few negative reviews from people because they're unaware of it, but now teach them what they need to know before advertising for someone and how bad the effect can be later on for the reputation of her business as well.

Bravo.. that was actually nice of you scheduling an appointment with the lady in charge of the restaurant to educate her about Bitcoin, because one thing certain here is that there are some people who are interested in learning about Bitcoin but nobody to teach them, and for those who have shown interest, it's our duty to please try our very best to teach them the best we can while redirecting them to online articles for further research

Lol please y’all should stop. I haven’t had this much fun in a while. I hold the opinion that bitcoin education for the people is vital in crypto mass adoption. Thank you OP for your service

Even though the government isn’t pro-bitcoin, it’s becoming increasingly popular for physical stores in Nigeria to accept bitcoin as payment in exchange for goods and services. Some even have two price tags, one for payment in naira and another price (usually discounted) for bitcoin payment to encourage bitcoin payments.

I have seen several shops in Nigeria that are accepting Bitcoin these days... lots of Nigerians has posted pictures on this forum. There is even a Gas station that accepts Bitcoin over there.... just cannot find the thread that someone posted.

Now.... the main goal must be to support that restaurant, because if people stop paying with bitcoin.... then they will stop accepting it as a payment option. Thank you for posting the picture.. Wink

The restaurant does not accept Bitcoin that is why @OP is scheduling a dinner lecture for the manager. The pictures on the wall are paid advertisement, some company rented the wall space to advertise their service and the restaurant is getting paid for it. So if ever you have read the line on @OP's story:

He was disappointed because he cannot showcase how practical Bitcoin as a payment is. Instead of getting swayed by disappointment, he asked for the manager's attention and invited her to his house for dinner to teach her how Bitcoin works.

Why would you invite a restaurant owner for Christmas dinner?

To have a 3some, why do you need to even ask🤣🤣.

In tehran there are a few places where you can eat food and pay with crypto, bitcoin included ofcourse. Haven't tried one though so far, but I have seen their ads on instagram food blogger pages.
==============================================
I was waiting for the story to get hot and interesting but op censored what happened after the dinner. Lol

When you say Bitcoin restaurant I think you are wrong, literally it would mean that the Restaurant is powered or owned by Bitcoin, correct me if i am wrong I can work into the restaurant and make use of FIAT.

I think it’s more understandable if you say it’s a Bitcoin friendly or accepting restaurant and I am beginning to see lots of them in my area too and that’s encouraging.

Ended with a twist indeed. I’m usually skeptical of this kind of “Bitcoin celebration threads” so I was expecting that you paid for your lunch with bitcoin, at least that’s what the title made me believe. It won’t be right to call it a bitcoin restaurant then, its ironic to call a restaurant where the owners aren’t knowledgeable about bitcoin a bitcoin restaurant. Oh well at least OP didn’t lie about his experience just to make his story look good. Good luck with your new manager friend Wink

I get this may be strange to you understanding there is a cultural difference between us, my community is tightly knit. Everybody knows everybody or someone related to your family, that's one of the beauty of coming home for the holidays. It's Christmas and I wanted to be nice. I will be here after the 25th so you're not worried I was stabbed to death by a stranger.

Still, you need to be careful who you invite to your home, especially in the face of high insecurity, your community may be friendly and familiar with each other does not mean you know what they are capable of, especially someone who only came home for the holidays. You should be security conscious.
Enjoy your holidays. Cool

End with a twist. I assumed you discovered a restaurant that accepts Bitcoin. After reading the entire thread, I realized it was nothing but advertisements. However, because the restaurant is near by, it will be easier to teach them how to accept Bitcoin. Because openly advertising Bitcoin implies that it is legal in your jurisdiction. Try to assist them in accepting Bitcoin so that you can keep a supporting role in Bitcoin adoption.

We were clicked baited LOL, I also thought the same, but in the end, it is just advertising and the focus of the story is him inviting the manager over to his house. The manager being a "her" makes me think that @OP is trying to hit on her, lol but then the tight-knit community seems a valid reason. Though I still wonder why invite over your house for a Christmas dinner... is there a room for teaching during those times? With lots of relatives and friends coming over, (the tight-knit community remember? Grin

) When you can just schedule an after job time to teach her the necessity of accepting Bitcoin, if not the basics of Bitcoin ,after work hours.

Sorry, but my imagination got worked up when I read the term.. manager >> she >> and invited over Christmas dinner., Anywho, I hope your teaching session with the manager will be a great success!!! Grin

I was expecting more when I read the title but when I read the whole thread that the OP made clear my expectations were a little less. But it's understandable actually because they also do this for profit, moreover, it's the same as sponsorship for their restaurant, regardless of whether they know it or not, maybe the most important thing is personal profit for the restaurant.

I can see from the image that the advertised company is skye wallet Nigeria. It’s not a popular wallet even in the country, I did a quick search about the company and the reviews aren’t good at all, numerous complaints of withdrawal issues and customer service not responding to messages. Now I think it’s up to OP to go back and see if he can make them put down the advert as it will also affect the reputation of the restaurant. I want to believe the restaurant owners are ignorant of crypto and do not know about the issues surrounding the wallet, they are simply after the cheque.

I opened your link and looked at the reviews and this is the result Cheesy

But there are some things that maybe I don't know because it's my first time even hearing about this wallet and I can't say that they are bad just because of these 2 reviews. but maybe when there is an offer for it there will obviously be a lot of consideration to use it.
