- The establishment opened in March
- The café is in the town of Surfers Paradise
- It can pay for lunch with most popular tokens, including SHIB
- But customers choose mostly fiat
- This does not bother the owner, who simply used memcoin to advertise
A new fast food establishment opened in the Australian coastal town of Surfers Paradise this March. Its distinctive feature was the emphasis on the SHIB theme. Gradually, the café has become the “business card” of his neighborhood, and the founder is thinking about launching an entire chain.
The place is called Shiba Wings.. It serves all the standard diner fare – burgers, wings, nuggets, and fries. The cafe’s design emphasizes SHIB memcoin.
Shiba Wings is the first cafe in Australia where you can pay for lunch in cryptocurrency. Moreover, its owner and founder plans to launch an entire network by the end of the year.. So Shiba Wings will be the first cryptocurrency fast food in the world.
But there is a nuance. The institution is closely intertwined with the themes of Web3 and cryptocurrencies, but visitors continue to pay mainly in fiat.
This in a comment for Cointelegraph was confirmed by the owner, who asked to call him just Elijah.. While immediately after the launch, the average weekly turnover of the cryptocurrency was 250 AUD, in June it dropped to 50 AUD.
Elijah himself does not see this as a serious problem. For him, the brand is important in the first place, as well as quality and delicious food. According to him, the cryptocurrency has become a kind of advertising for the institution, but is not the basis of its activities.</nbsp;
With that, he plans to release a collection of NFT Shiba Wings and has already managed to buy the intellectual rights to Shiba Inu in Australia. Interestingly, token holders will receive up to 15% of each new establishment, and will also be able to count on quarterly dividends.</nbsp;Earlier we reported that cryptocurrency began to be accepted in American restaurants Chipotle.
