The integration of Bitcoin payments at Boom Bap Burger is part of a broader trend of cryptocurrency adoption in the food and beverage sector. Major chains like Starbucks, Burger King, and Subway have already dipped their toes into crypto payments.
The latest inclusion of smaller, independent establishments like Boom Bap Burger shows the technology’s expansion into local dining scenes.
Several major food chains have already implemented various methods for customers to pay with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Top food chains already accept crypto
Starbucks allows customers to reload their Starbucks cards with Bitcoin through the Bakkt app. Burger King has partnered with Binance Pay to accept Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for its menu items.
Subway has selected locations that accept Bitcoin directly or via the Lightning Network. In addition, Chipotle has teamed up with Flexa to process Bitcoin transactions.
Other notable players in the food industry accepting cryptocurrencies include Domino’s Pizza and KFC Canada. Quiznos and FlameStone American Grill have also joined the crypto payment trend, partnering with Bakkt and BitPay, respectively.
Even though it is not available in all outlets, Swiss Bitcoin Pay is slowly beginning to expand to various locations. The latest announcement comes as the crypto market started the week with a bearish outlook that saw Bitcoin plunging to the $62,000 level. The global crypto market cap has also taken a hit, losing value and settling at $2.17 trillion at press time.
