& I welcomed
&
for
as our special guests on HIVE THRIVE COMMUNITY HOUR Ep. 54!
This weekβs conversation was a fascinating look at what happens when Hive blockchain is used to solve a common consumer problem β the friction with dining in restaurants.
Our special guests, and
, explained that
really began as an idea to solve a chronic frustration with dining out...WAITING! There's waiting for menus, waiting to order, and waiting to pay. Trying to get a waiter's attention is about as fun as watching paint dry, but they had a better idea!
With , you scan a QR code, order when youβre ready, and pay directly from your phone. No more exasperatingly waiting to be served and then again to be presented with your bill, to then wait some more for the card machine to be brought over to you.
And not only that, but with using InnoPay, you can pay your bill at a discount if you create an account online at an InnoPay participating restaurant. What we learned that is especially interesting is that Hive sits almost invisibly underneath the experience!
A customer can simply pay with a credit card through Stripe and never think about blockchain at all. If they decide to create an account, InnoPay quietly creates a Hive account in the background and introduces them to the ecosystem without overwhelming them with Web3 or crypto convos.
Voila! This is a perfect example of how Hive can make a difference in not only how we dine out and but how restuaranteurs and bar owners can run their businesses.
These are the kinds of innovations we love to celebrate on , which is a social audio show that highlights "community more than crypto and people more than projects". Today's thoughtful conversation showed yet again that Hivians are about applying Hive Blockchain to real world use cases.
Our hats are off to and
for joining us ππ½. We look forward to having them again for a live demo. When it's scheduled, we will share the date!
For those of you who joined us, we appreciate your hanging out with us! Here are just some of the Hivians who dropped in, brought snacks, and settled in for the chat.
