While reading, I assumed you were going to pay your fees in bitcoin, but that was not the case. Since they don't accept bitcoin as payment and are already advertising it, perhaps you should put them through before leaving your hometown after the holidays; it will be your own contribution to the bitcoin mass adoption we're all aiming for. I won't blame them for advertising a wallet that has few negative reviews from people because they're unaware of it, but now teach them what they need to know before advertising for someone and how bad the effect can be later on for the reputation of her business as well.

Anyhow this Christmas is going to be a special one for the Hotel owner as she's gonna learn something new. In specific knowing and learning about bitcoin is really important for the fast moving world that is much connected to the technology. It is good that more advertisements were giving visibility to the existence of bitcoin even in the rural areas of the country.

It's Christmas and I'm back in my hometown to spend the holidays with my family and friends. Today we decided to have lunch at a local restaurant. I was shocked to see the interior walls of the restaurant decorated with Bitcoin stickers, banners and bitcoin wallet ads. I didn't expect to find this in a small town, I was excited to show my friends how practical Bitcoin is. We placed our orders and when the bill came I asked if I could pay in bitcoin. The waiter stared at me with a blank face as if nothing I said made sense. Clearly this guys do not accept Bitcoin payment. I was furious...no disappointed...I quietly asked to see his manager, the lady came to see what the problem. I asked her why they wouldn't accept Bitcoin payments but have the walls decorated with bitcoin stickers, banners and crypto wallet ads. She explained they have some sort of franchise deal and get paid for keeping the ads on the wall but they don't really know how Bitcoin works or how it can positively impact their business. I could sense she wanted to learn what I knew, but it wasn't the time and place for a Bitcoin lecture. Instead, I invited her for Christmas dinner and promised to teach her Bitcoin. Merry Christmas everyone OP I really do not get what happened. Your topic sounds interesting and catchy and you started with a good tone on good keys but the story did not go down well as it was supposed to be. From the way you started, I was expecting you have educated the manager and the attendant at that very instant so they could get a brief and little knowledge about what bitcoin is all about but is was not clear why with the ads they were not having knowledge of what they have as wall paper having right there in their restaurant. Although it was working hours as you have stated, but atleast you should have made an attempt putting them on the know what they have as a wall decor in their restaurant is all about, then they would know what they have with them there. I believe if they had knowledge about it, they would have taken advantage of the situation and telling customers about the new development and payment option they now have so as to encourage more customers coming to patronize their services.

This happens most of the time at multiple places. Recently in many cricket matches, I have seen advertisements of Crypto exchanges and lot of ads regarding crypto usage. But this doesn’t mean that you can buy the cricket match tickets with Bitcoins. The stadium and the league take the advertisements for the sake of sponsorship only, they don’t care what is the product is about etc. At first reading the OP’s title, I was very curious and excited to know how they paid their restaurant bill with Bitcoins, but later on after finding about the advertisements, I was slightly disappointed. Nevertheless soon the eco system will change .

I was also quite disappointed when I finished reading your post, it turns out that it's not a restaurant that accepts Bitcoin as payment, but rather a restaurant that displays advertising posters for one of the African exchanges. But honestly, you're brave enough to invite a restaurant owner for Christmas dinner and educate her about Bitcoin and its use in business LOL

Lol you all should stop I haven't much fun this days.. How can you open bitcoin restaurant in your neighborhood though is very good you can see people can pick much interest from there it will motivate them and put more effort to the forum so that's awesome
At first Op thought the restaurant accepts Bitcoin as a means of payment but later discovered that don't and they banner there was just some form of advertising for the company. I just used "Google image search" to search for the logo in the banner and a crypto wallet popped up (Skye wallet) I guess it's not a very popular wallet because this is my first time seeing the wallet.

I guess, the restaurant owner will surely learn something positive from the dinner that will add value to her business, that will make others business women to ask what is she using to make progress in her business. With this good information you have spread in your community concerning Bitcoin, it will really make the community to invite you to Christmas every year so that they will continue to learn more from you.

For now, I don't want to use bitcoin to pay for something because there is still a lack of information on how to use bitcoin and so on. But if you want to teach him about bitcoins, it's a good idea so he can know and use bitcoins too and maybe he can teach the people who visit the restaurant. If you want to use bitcoins as a means of payment, you can find places or local shops that really understand how to use bitcoins and not because of an agreement from the franchise. That will be better so you will not feel anything like before.

Do have the obligation to accept payments using bitcoin even though they decorate restaurant wall with a bitcoin sticker, if indeed they have concluded a franchise agreement and paid to place an advertisement on the wall, it means they have no responsibility for accepting payments using bitcoins. Bitcoin adoption has indeed been running so rapidly in various countries, but not all places accept payments using bitcoin. You offer dinner together with restaurant management, I assume you intend to teach them to accept bitcoin payments, I don't think that will work easily and will not change the way payments are made in the restaurant. If a bitcoin campaign has graced the walls of their restaurant, it's highly unlikely they don't know how.

She is the manager and not the owner of the place but influencing her by educating her about bitcoin will have a great effect on the restaurant and how they continue operations. You were able to notice the bitcoin logo on the restaurants because you are into bitcoins, some other persons may have observed it but kept mute. Great of you to show concern to help this local restaurant add another payment option. Definitely you cannot teach her about bitcoins in one day, but you can arouse her interest. Make it your personal project this December to help this restaurant start accepting payments in bitcoins.

Almost similar experience when I visited a self-styled Bitcoin City in a place I now reside. 3 hours away by train/bus and while I wasn't entirely disappointed, couple of first places I went into with a Bitcoin logo outside turned out couldn't accept BTC payments. It wasn't even an ad deal like in your story, it was literally a logo to signify BTC payments accepted. In their case, staff weren't properly trained or didn't know at all how to accept BTC. Great stuff, let us know how the education session goes

I wonder what makes the restaurant owner advertise what she doesn't know about just for the money. That is the major mistake some human beings make, not caring about what they advertise except for money.
Nevertheless, this is a good opportunity for you to lecture her on bitcoin and also how to be accepting bitcoin payments in her restaurant.
Good luck to you as you are planning to teach her bitcoin at Christmas dinner

The conclusion is that Bitcoin is not yet known by many people, especially a manager and waiter who works in a restaurant near OP's house. It's only natural that he makes a confused face when you ask "Can I pay with Bitcoin?" Maybe Skye Wallet only has a limited budget to market its products, so the developer chooses to make a banner at a restaurant in a small town, which we all know, that the target audience is people who don't understand cryptocurrency. This is because the Skye Wallet wallet has received bad reviews from several users, so it is included in the dangerous wallet category.

~snip I'll start with the bad stuff first. Everyone here immediately clicked on the link provided by OP at the beginning of this topic? I decided to check first and this is what I found. It's funny that most visitors see the name Bitcoin on the scenery, but think that it's just a picture and learn nothing about the technology itself. It’s even funnier that the manager of the establishment doesn’t know anything about this either (we hope that OP will fix this). In this case, one can't speak of any mass adoption. The pictures indicate some links that are hidden behind the heads of visitors. What is written on them? I have a feeling that someone is promoting their sites (on about crypto topics) in this way and which have little in common with bitcoin (or speculating on this). That's why this franchise requires the installation of such scenery.

Many people only hear bitcoin but they don't know how bitcoin works to be able to get the goods we want, even though some countries already use bitcoin as legal tender but as a society it is still difficult to use and get the bitcoin, I think you have to teach the owner of the restaurant so that all the stickers they use are very useful and can get more profit great at making payments at their restaurants.

Well, I am more interested to know whether things are doing well with the business itself with regards to the market price of Bitcoin. Many businesses have made the same thing but also, many of those establishements eventually did not sustain the market behavior in this industry which forced to do so, I guess. It would seem like themoney circulating on a business would be instant turned into another investment. If we are on the bullish market ofcourse it would be full of advantages but since we're not, I guess that is where problems might occur in terms of general sustainability of the business. If owners would be pushed not to spend the payments (in crypto) because of low market price, then isn't it a bad idea to do so especually at the present. We would amire the initiative to do so but not all businesses are just ain't ready for this industry yet when it comes on a 100% adoption.

I'm not so surprised to see something like this, not 1 or 2 times, in fact there are already many restaurants and inns that use Bitcoin payments or use crypto currency themes in their rooms, it doesn't look like there is a problem, but they will be overshadowed by tax collection which is quite large from their government of course, this is a problem for entrepreneurs who use Bitcoin, of course the government does not care about the current bitcoin price, they know that the price of bitcoin is much more expensive than using Fiat currency, even though everyone pays more using currency Fiat money instead of Bitcoin, because not everyone owns Bitcoin and only a few percent of the world's population own it, the rest prefer to hold Fiat currency.

The OP ought to have educate, enlighten the owner, waiter and waitress on how to transact with Bitcoin right there in their shop, personally I wouldn't buy the idea of inviting the owner to the owner home to so, meanwhile it won't take much time teaching and explaining how to transact to the shop manager, waiters and others who are very much interested learning it with aid of a mobile phone, I had personally and successful done this with few of colluegues in my of work, friends and some of students who now very conversant with how to use Bitcoin, I recently showed one of my student on how to transact using P2P via Binance, I believe there will be a gradual adoption of Bitcoin with this methods.

It is a bit weird to decorate everything with Bitcoin vibes but not accept Bitcoin as payment and not train the staff to at least know what Bitcoin payments are. Inviting a person for Christmas dinner is nice, I think the traditions of who you invite can differ a lot within different cultures, and I think it was a nice gesture on the part of the op. It didn't strike me as weird, and I'm not surprised by op's answer to it. To be honest, I don't get why many in the thread seem so worked-up about a simple act of hospitality. I hope the op will return and let us know if there was a continuation of this story (did the owner come to the dinner, did you visit their place again to discuss Bitcoin, etc.).
