The American fast-food chain Church's Chicken has started accepting payments in Dash in Venezuela. The cryptocurrency is accepted at all 10 Church's Chicken restaurants. Dash has already made its first transaction with Church's Chicken and uploaded a video about it on its official YouTube channel. The restaurant claims to be the first global fast-food chain to accept "digital currency".
Church's Chicken confirmed the news of accepting cryptocurrency payments, unlike the embarrassment with similar news regarding KFC. The thing is that on December 7, the public-relations director of DashNews, Mark Mason, published a tweet stating that KFC Venezuela would begin accepting Dash payments. KFC Venezuela refuted this news, stating that the acceptance of such payments was still only under discussion and that it was too early to make such statements, especially without the company's knowledge.
In January 2018, KFC Canada introduced a PR stunt in which it offered a bucket of fried chicken that could be bought only with Bitcoin.
At that time KFC published a post on Twitter that read as follows: Of course, we do not know exactly what Bitcoin is and how it works, but that should not stand between you and chicken.
As Cointelegraph reported in August, Dash Core Group CEO Ryan Taylor stated that Venezuela had become the second-largest market for Dash, and almost a hundred merchants accept the cryptocurrency every week.
