The claim sounds pretty idiotic to me. What restaurant chain, 500 large, decides to implement something in a matter of days
without proper planning? None. I am going to guess someone pranked spanky to get a laugh.

We're in a recession. If a chain get gain a slight edge with minimal effort, it's worth trying. And if they're supposedly only trying it at three locations, it doesn't sound like much of a stretch.
Still, with so much drama and bad news, I can understand anyone being skeptical.

This sounds very implausible even if you ignore the credibility of the source. Guess we'll know if there's any substance to it shortly.

Let's hope its not these guys

I'm confused. This restaurant says "we now accept bitcoins" but also wants Bruce's help "setting them up to accept Bitcoin ASAP"?
That line made me skeptical, not confused. September 15, 2011, 07:09:40 PM
maybe they were just telling him they are now willing to accept bitcoins, but would like help.

Bruce "Huge news from the conference is another conference" Wagner isn't really a great source.

Finally... some good news!
Yes....what place is associating themselves with a criminal and scammer?
September 15, 2011, 05:54:19 PM
any clue on the name of the Restaurant chain?
500 locations nationwide is pretty significant, mainstream news would pick this up is it turns out to be real.
and if they get extra business from bitcoiners turning up, I'm sure other places will try it.
it's been a good week for bitcoin news

I got the same email earlier, i'll belive it when i see it simply because if they're not announcing what resturant how is anyone going to know to go there and spend bitcoins?

In a message sent out to the Google group Bitcoin People, Bruce Wagner announced;
Yesterday I was contacted by a major national chain restaurant with more than 500 locations nationwide.
The guy said, "Your show was an inspiration, and the primary reason we now accept bitcoins."
WOW!
They want my help in setting them up to accept Bitcoin ASAP.
They plan to install Bitcoin POS in about 3 locations, as a test, THIS WEEKEND!
A day earlier, Bruce was talking about a Chinese restaurant that has agreed to talk Bitcoin. Is it safe to say Meze Grill has started a trend? Expect the national chain restaurant on The Bitcoin Show on OnlyOneTV soon.

Also in related news for those who like to use Bitcoin for IRL goods, MemoryDealers is doing a 10% Bitcoin rebate, I highly suggest supporting them.
Edit: MemoryDealers made a thread about the deal here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/10-rebate-in-bitcoins-on-every-order-44155
