Topic: The First Chicago Restaurant to Accept Bitcoin - page 5. (Read 11876 times)
Portillos is a good idea for the drive through... how do you explain to restaurants how to deal with the hour confirmation delay again?
we are not in competition, please share your secret weapon with us.
yes, please share her.
or at least post some photos.
I never said the secret weapon was a her! Where you getting your information?
Please start a thread for Montreal. I pledge to go eating if a restaurant accept bitcoins.
For me the 2 best selling points to a restaurant are:
New clients: bitcoiners paying with bitcoins
Free publicity: local media will be interested about a restaurant accepting a new currency.

Nice going, dunand! I had a nice little venture going here until you came along and forked my customer base. First Montreal, then San Diego. What city's next? Biloxi? Little Rock? Or perhaps smaller towns like Hohenwald, TN, Intercourse, PA, or Winchestertonfieldville?
Seriously, folks, I'm glad to see some traction here, and I'm sure Tony with Bit-Pay will do everything possible to help out in each market. I'm glad to be part of introducing Chicagoans to Bitcoin. But, I do have an edge over all the other markets--a secret weapon.

I'm sworn to secrecy, but if you ask Tony, I'm sure he'll tell you.

I called Portillos Chicago Restaurant (312) 587-8910 and the manager gave me the corporate headquarters number (630) 954-3773.
I called Portillos headquarters, spoke with the operator and she told me to send information via mail or fax (630) 954-5851.
Should I fax her a copy of a bit-pay & WeLoveBicoin hand outs?

She said there was no one I could talk to, but
Extension 184 is for credit card issues &
Extension 4 is for advertising
Those were the only two "appealing" options when I called their corporate headquarters (630) 954-3773. I opted to let the operator deal with me which was probably a fail.
Please let me know which next step you recommend?
BUMP! Please read the quoted post.
~Bruno~
this may not have been a fail... the operator might look into bitcoin or talk about it with her boss and he might look at bitcoin... I think you should wait a week and call her again, she might have more of an idea who to pass the phone too.
if you call her again in a week and she still hasn't a clue what to do with you... i say try Extension 4 is for advertising, spin bitcoin as an adverting tool, tell them about mezy grill in NY, find the video were the owner of mezy grill was saying his business is booming with new comers because of bitcoin
Ya, I think the advertising option is a good selling point.
As for my conversation with the operator, it was something like this "I would like to discuss a new payment system for your restaurants. Who should I be directed to discuss this topic?"
Her response was send a fax or e-mail with a summary of the information.
However, I don't want to go spamming bit-pay.com's fliers to legitimate businesses tarnishing their name until Tony think's that's an acceptable method.
I feel like a person to person phone call and or meeting with an e-mail follow up is acceptable. I just don't want to revert to spam...

I'll soon be trekking to Chicago to close the deal with Chicago Cabbie but, while there, I'm going to make forays to several eating establishments, in hope of interesting them into accepting Bitcoin. The list on the following site should be more than enough to keep me busy: http://chicago.metromix.com/restaurants/article/new-on-the-scene/163270/content
The goal is by summer's end to have several businesses in and around Chicago accepting Bitcoin. To help pull that off, though, I'll need the help of this community. All I'm asking is for you to state that you'll frequent such establishments if they were to accept Bitcoin. I would love to see a formidable list below. I've taken the liberty and imported the list from the Chicago Cabbie thread to seed it. Simply state in this thread that you'll frequent a business that accepts Bitcoin in or around Chicago at least once, and I'll add your name to the list below.
I'm going to be working in conjunction with Tony with Bit-Pay to help pull this off. I'm not sure if I'm at liberty to say this, but he's got a secret weapon up his sleeve, one I know will help in closing the deals.

I've added you for Portillos, pekv2. Check out the list in the OP.
Another thing could be the delivery service that Lou Malnati's offers http://www.tastesofchicago.com/?utm_campaign=rightnav&utm_source=loushome&utm_medium=Homepage. Then everyone all over the country could taste the yummy food of Chicago bitcoin style...
