El Salvador has taken new steps again! La Cajita Kitchen restaurant has just announced that it is the first restaurant in the country to support BTC reservations. Customers can now lock in seats directly with Bitcoin, without having to pay cash or swipe a card. This move brings crypto payments from theory into everyday life—imagine just scanning a QR code with your mobile wallet to book your dinner. For El Salvador, a country that has pegged BTC as legal tender, integrating on-chain payments into the hospitality industry is a natural progression. However, not many merchants have actually implemented it yet, and La Cajita Kitchen has taken a bold step this time.

Haha, El Salvador is really serious about this. Using Bitcoin to book a restaurant reservation is quite a bold move.
---
Honestly, it's not easy for a merchant to be the first to take the plunge.
---
Wait, is this real? Bitcoin confirmation times are too slow to wait around.
---
Finally, some restaurants are keeping up with the trend, although not many people are using it.
---
El Salvador is really experimenting wildly with BTC application scenarios.
---
Is on-chain payment really that difficult to implement? Why are so few merchants following suit?
---
I just want to know how long it takes to confirm an order when the network is congested.
---
Alright, they have some imagination, but I'm more concerned about the transaction fees.
---
It's a good thing, but it still feels more like a gimmick than a practical use.

Hmm, Salvador is really serious this time.
Ordering food with BTC sounds cool, but how are the gas fees calculated?
Finally, a restaurant dares to try this out. Follow the trend.
This is what BTC should be like—it's not just hype, it's practical use.
I always said on-chain payments will eventually become everyday, and this proves it.

Bitcoin dining? Now El Salvador has truly become a crypto paradise
---
Wait, how are the wallet fees calculated for booking a seat with BTC?
---
Finally, a restaurant dares to try it, just not sure how long a transfer will take
---
This is real adoption, not those vapor projects
---
El Salvador's move is actually a covert test of the Lightning Network payment experience

Wow, the restaurant directly supports BTC reservations, El Salvador is really serious about this
If one restaurant dares to go on the blockchain, what are we waiting for
I'm just worried that no other merchants will follow, and it will end up as a lonely example
But this idea is truly brilliant; the moment you scan your wallet to order food, that's the future

Bitcoin ordering food? El Salvador is really serious about this
This is true adoption, not just talk
Finally, someone dares to be the first to try it, feels great
It would be awesome if the domestic scene could do the same
In an era of dollar devaluation, BTC as legal tender is awesome
