Christopher Conradi has activated a new payment terminal for his guests in his Fit Smartfood restaurant in Salzburg-Maxglan. The bill can now also be paid there with Bitcoin.
Christopher Conradi makes sure it doesn’t get boring. At least in his restaurant in the city of Salzburg. The boss of Fit Smartfood on Maxglaner Hauptstrasse now wants to appeal to young customers even better. That is why you have been able to pay in your restaurant with the cryptocurrency Bitcoin for a few days now. Probably unique in Salzburg’s gastronomy scene.
“Still expandable”
“I wanted to try it out,” says the restaurant owner. In just under two weeks, only three guests have paid with their so-called Bitcoin wallets. No problem for Conradi: “Of course there is still room for improvement. I’m sure that will change soon.”
Pay in seconds
Conradi has already tried out several trends in his restaurant. There are always main courses that change for a short period of time. Most recently, Korean bao buns and healthy fondue will soon be on the menu. It is important that the dishes fit the healthy lifestyle of young people in Salzburg in particular.
After consulting with his tax advisor, the restaurant owner purchased a Bitcoin payment device. There the bill is converted from euros to Bitcoin and ultimately paid with a QR code on the mobile phone. This can be done within a few seconds, just like with a debit card payment.
The change for the staff is minimal. Of course, the resourceful restaurant owner still accepts cash. But: “Almost 90 percent of our monthly turnover is already paid in cash,” says Conradi.
