after months of tempting different online food delivery sites.. guess what

you can now buy fast food with bitcoin
https://www.foodler.com/user/Bitcoin.do (https://www.foodler.com/user/Bitcoin.do)

boom 12,094 restaurants across america now accepting bitcoin. boom

i started rambling about it last year and kept it in a few peoples minds to keep pushing people to hammer it home to merchants over the months to think about accepting bitcoins. and it seems one of them has listened so far,

next stage is if a restaurant in your town is linked to the foodler service you can use it to spread the word to other places locally to you that arn't yet accepting bitcoin, but would benefit from it..

so tell you local 7-11 that your local restaurant xyz(whatever it maybe) is accepting bitcoin and allow the other retailers to start looking into bitcoin as the information moves up the chain of command. aswell as any keep and smart guys out there to contact the HQ's of national/international retailers direct

my next step is to keep pushing

and
http://foodbyphone.com/ (http://foodbyphone.com/)
and
http://just-eat.com/ (http://just-eat.com/)

i know.. very great news
I'm using the foodler as an example link to show the other delivery companies that bitcoin is not just for investing in, that they should jump aboard the band wagon and get free press advertising them such as

cant get bigger then the wall street journal to tempt the late night office workers into ordering food from their computers.

if you have listings of national websites that link to many retailers/grocery stores that deliver, ill draft, redraft and triple check my grammar and spelling (like i do on any business communications) to then use this great example as the president to snowball more merchants onboard

(my forum grammar is generally a relaxed rush job after a few shots of whisky. so don't use my forum grammar as a example of how i professionally talk to businesses)

I've written to seamless.com (a food delivery service very popular in New York City) a few times requesting that they accept bitcoin as a payment method. They said they'd look into it. If you'd like to register your interest in this, write to suggestions@seamless.com.

big news.
more useful websites, more uses will make bitcoins stronger. great! keep bugging all the sites to use bcoins !!

this is great! I can dine in the us and not face 10% USD/Currency exchange losses.....so awesome

Thanks for the great news.   :)

Amazing.

Nothing anywhere within any practical distance from me.

But amazing nonetheless.

That's really amazing! Few large deals like that could really make bitcoins a popular payment method in the US.

couple months ago walletbit said they were in contact with justeat in their Hungary, Europe office thanks to my suggestions, but then walletbit went quiet. No updates if a meeting ever happened. so it looks like it has to be a community effort and not a payment gateway effort.
kinda strange though

so my list so far for me and a few people i know to pester.

thailand
http://www.chefsxp.com/restaurants.php
http://foodbyphone.com

UK
http://just-eat.co.uk
http://hungryhouse.co.uk

europe
http://just-eat.com

canada
http://just-eat.ca

USA
http://seamless.com

anymore to add??

fast food is not food, it is an abomination and should not be supported but instead be shunned into oblivion.

Too bad people demands it, and now they can pay it with bitcoin.

Yes, wonderful, give the couch potatoes one less reason to move their big fat miner asses. This will surely end well.

good to hear. and um maybe not so good to hear in the future. but there is ample oppertunity tofind the contact details of just-eat spain

http://www.just-eat.es/contact

show them your service that you already offer and ask if you can become their background exchanger. where they use your exchange rate prices on their official page and they simply send you the coin and you send them the cash.

the only difference maybe is that if you get contracts signed you send them batch payments once a night instead of individual payments throughout the day. freeing up the rest of your day for other projects/expansion.

the beauty of the open market. YOU can be the next big thing

Germany:

http://www.lieferando.de/
http://www.lieferheld.de/
http://pizza.de/

http://www.grubhub.com/ is another great food delivery service in the US with thousands of restaurants in many different cities.

Wow this is amazing! We will add them to our catalog on our next edition!

That's great.
 :) :) :)

This. + Same for Europe.

ok all of you eager beavers. please contact the customer services departments of the food websites listed that cover your country and simply say

"do you accept bitcoins? and if not how long until you do because https://www.foodler.com/user/Bitcoin.do have already begun accepting it. please pass this request onto your head office if there is no current plans for bitcoin at the moment. as its a 1.6billion dollar (convert to your native currency amount) currency, growing by the day"

i have found merchants move faster if they see a demand for it.

so if you want it. ask for it.

I did when I started the service, and they told me like ... WTF are you talking about??? No we just accept money.

Oh man i would LOVE to see ChefsXP to accept BTC :)

for Thai http://gotbangkok.com/2012/06/11/bangkok-food-delivery-services/
there's another one there FoodPanda, have you tried with them yet?

grunhub is very big food site, and if they accept bitcoin would be nice

I know I'm Necro'ing this, but I was recently thinking that I should try to get Just-eat Canada to accept Bitcoins. 

Have any of you met with success?

this is old topic. just want to add:

no one that does not have bitcoin has any incentive to buy bitcoins to pay with bitcoin. just because 1 place accepts bitcoin means nothing really.

A bank needs to adopt BTC, I think that would make a difference.

That's wrong. They will want to buy bitcoins because it retains its purchasing power due its limited issuance ... so that when they come to buy something they really want, like food, they can afford the same amount (or more) food than when they got the bitcoins.

But if you can't think more than 2 steps ahead in regards to financial decisions then since you aren't going to be likely to have more than 2 btc to rub together .... well, it does meanz nothing really.

This is the essence of the world at the moment; most people living in the world today are used to their money being worth less over time, and used to spending what they have now instead of later, and used to being in debt because of it.  It'll take time before most people see the world differently, but I think it'll happen the more Bitcoin gains traction.

I like how you went from 12,000 fastfood restaurants to concluding mainstream

::) Fast food is part of a balanced diet.  Keyword, "balance".  Nothing wrong with a bit of fast food from time to time.

I hope they will add some restaurants in Lithuania too.

What did they say to your request?

Can anyone persuade http://www.just-eat.com/ to take bitcoins?

They have takeaway restaurants in 14 countries.

grocery delivery service Wowow

Finally a way to get your money out of Gox!  That might be a lot of hamburgers though....

I hope they will appear in Latvia also.

months ago after getting a few of the community to join together to atleast let just eat know there is some interest. by asking their customer serive department of just eat to take bitcoin and to pass on the request to their management.

also i asked (then known as) walletbit.com, now bips.me to professionally approach justeat as bips.me has offices in canada and europe.
since then i left it in their hands and tried requesting an update, to which they have not replied.

last communication i had with bips.me was they were 'trying to set up a meeting with one of justeats HQ's'

i still think food is the way forward, especially food services that are linked to many food retailers, that way one hit = many successes. just like what happened with foodler. over 12k successes in one day

now we can use bitcoins for food also  ;D

We would need this in Czech Rep.  :)

I've just sent an email.
I hope that coinbase/bitpay will try as much as they can to be added!
