Title: Foodler.com Feeding Bitcoiners across the US Post by: adamstgBit on April 14, 2013, 02:23:07 AM Today Foodler.com popped up on thebitcoinreview.com
http://www.thebitcoinreview.com/site.php?site_id=1031 Quote Foodler now accepts Bitcoin! Foodler works with over 12,000 delivery restaurants in 48 states to offer pizza, Chinese, and many other delivery options. Most customers order delivery, but you can also order takeout if you prefer. Not sure if it true or just some troll post? if you try it out, please leave a review, thanks. Edit: Seems legit, but i can't try it since i'm not in US. Quote Use your bitcoins to get food delivery and takeout. Deposit any amount of bitcoins to your Foodler account, and they will be converted to FoodlerBucks credits. Valid at all 12,041 Foodler restaurants! - Your account will be credited within 1 hour of receipt confirmation. - The current USD exchange rate per the Mt. Gox exchange will be used. - You'll be given a unique destination address and QR code. ** this thread will be moved to services soon, just want to let everyone know about this ** Title: Re: Foodler.com Feeding Bitcoiners across the US Post by: nikkisnowe on April 14, 2013, 02:30:29 AM Straight from the horse's mouth... https://www.foodler.com/user/Bitcoin.do Title: Re: Foodler.com Feeding Bitcoiners across the US Post by: Mike Christ on April 14, 2013, 02:35:22 AM This is almost as great as being able to get pizza for Bitcoin. Now I can get whatever ;D
Would be better if my local grocer would take them but this is a step in the right direction.

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! Title: Re: Foodler.com Feeding Bitcoiners across the US Post by: counter on April 14, 2013, 02:51:08 AM very good to know thanks!

Title: Re: Foodler.com Feeding Bitcoiners across the US Post by: randrace on April 14, 2013, 06:20:51 AM 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.

Title: Re: Foodler.com Feeding Bitcoiners across the US Post by: Stephen Gornick on April 15, 2013, 03:40:06 AM 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. Title: Re: Foodler.com Feeding Bitcoiners across the US Post by: dancupid on April 15, 2013, 03:49:28 AM 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.
Title: Re: Foodler.com Feeding Bitcoiners across the US Post by: kibblesnbits on April 15, 2013, 06:44:38 PM 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!

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! https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/165889_400918096631293_827734194_n.jpg Title: Re: Foodler.com Feeding Bitcoiners across the US Post by: Stephen Gornick on April 16, 2013, 07:27:25 PM 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? Title: Re: Foodler.com Feeding Bitcoiners across the US Post by: dancupid on April 16, 2013, 07:29:26 PM 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). Title: Re: Foodler.com Feeding Bitcoiners across the US Post by: kibblesnbits on May 18, 2013, 11:20:06 PM +1 to foodler - just finished dinner bought and delivered with BTC. Very easy to do and the entire process was perfect.
