Food Token helps Restaurants accept crypto payments from the 65+ million Americans that have cryptocurrencies.
It is our belief that in the next few years a growing chunk of diners want to pay with crypto. By accepting crypto, restaurants tap into a tech-savvy, often higher-income demographic that’s eager to spend digital assets, boosting sales potential.
As all restaurants know traditional payment systems—credit cards, debit cards—charge merchants 2-3% per transaction. And get nothing in return!
It’s fast and global, with no charge-backs. Crypto settles much faster than bank payments, improving cash flow. Plus, it attracts international tourists who might prefer paying with a borderless currency over dealing with exchange rates or foreign card fees. A New York diner could draw crypto-spending Europeans or Asians who’d otherwise eat elsewhere.
It future-proofs the business. Digital currencies aren’t a fad, as private cryptos keep evolving. Early adopters—like the first restaurants to take cards in the ‘50s—win loyalty and experience. Waiting risks losing ground to competitors who jump in first.
And most importantly it’s a marketing edge. Accepting crypto signals innovation, grabbing attention in a crowded industry. A restaurant could stand out on social media or local news—“First Crypto-Friendly Eatery in Town!”—drawing curious customers, and crypto enthusiasts. It’s a brand differentiator.
Now you must decide if you want to just “Accept Cryptocurrencies” or if you would actually like to apply to become a “Crypto Friendly Restaurant”.

If you to actually become an official “Crypto Friendly Restaurant” the process is a little serious.

Two reasons that you would want to become an official “Crypto Friendly Restaurant” are because Food Token will buy gift cards from you upfront and Food Token will actively send you our customers.
But a third reason is that people actually want to spend their money on brands that share their values. And being certified as a “Crypto Friendly Restaurant” is an easy way to philosophically and morally align with a segment of your customer base without getting any backlash.
