The number of companies and organizations accepting bitcoin and other crypto assets as payment instruments continues to grow. The latest coming from the US are from the food industry – Muscle Maker Grill and numerous chain restaurants operated by one parent company – Landry’s.
Founded in 1980, Landry’s Inc. is privately-owned multi-brand dining, hospitality, entertainment, and gaming corporation operating multiple smaller companies. During a recent CNBC interview, the Chairman and CEO, Tilman Fertitta, announced that most of the restaurant chain’s brands will start to accept BTC payments soon.
“We’ll have it, probably, within all of our restaurant brands – or 80% to 90% – in the next 90 days, where you don’t have to use a Mastercard or Visa or American Express anymore. You can use bitcoin or other digital currencies.”
