Title: Takeaway.com accepting bitcoins :) Post by: steelboy on January 06, 2014, 07:20:32 PM I hadn't seen any notice of this and not really sure how long they have been accepting but i think it should be bigger news than it is.
I have just ordered my dinner from a takeaway registered with them and looking forward to my first meal paid for in crypto. :) Just wish it was delivered with drones in 10 minutes ;D If you are in the UK check out the site, there is loads of choice and bitcoin makes it nice and easy to pay obviously. takeaway.com (http://takeaway.com) Title: Re: Takeaway.com accepting bitcoins :) Post by: steelboy on January 06, 2014, 07:22:11 PM Just seen that it has a number of european partners too. Not sure how this slipped through my net ;D

I'd like to buy something with my coins, but I'm a miser and a hodler ;D. What did you order?

I had about 20 places to choose from :) Title: Re: Takeaway.com accepting bitcoins :) Post by: franky1 on January 06, 2014, 09:15:35 PM a few of us have been pestering the UK food delivery companies for the last year of so, such as the main one just-eat, aswell as hungryhouse and others, but now takeaway has taken on the challenge it shouldnt be long untill just-eat adopts bitcoin to match its competitor.
once food establishments start getting more widespread, we can then use this as the example to show to grocer stores and other mainstream merchants. i know takeaway is not healthy but atleast if our FIAT accounts get frozen or overtaxed by government, we wont starve atleast.. but will get fat I'm from the USA, how big is takeaway.com? takeaway.com is UK/Europe/asian, the eurasian versions are Thuisbezorgd.nl Pizza.be Lieferservice.de Pizza.fr Lieferservice.at Lieferservice.ch Pizza.dk Pizza.lu Pizza.ie Vietnammm.com not all of these european/asian sites display bitcoin on the main page. if as you say you are american you can always try foodler.com Title: Re: Takeaway.com accepting bitcoins :) Post by: Rub3n on January 06, 2014, 09:36:37 PM I have ordered once from thuisbezorgd.nl - I kinda payed the local snackcorner in bitcoin, im sure he doesnt even know they exist. :P
