Comment on What are some of the impacts of a power outage that isn't that obvious / isn't talked about a lot? And What happens to restaurant bills? Do Buses still work? (since card payments wouldn't work)

If you wanted to pay with card, we would offer to write down your card info and charge it later, or accept cash only.

That could be illegal in certain countries

If someone already ordered and was unable to pay we’d just take the loss on good faith that they’d return to pay, no holding ID or anything like that. It’s a relatively small loss for the restaurant to maintain a good reputation.

I mean, the alternative is… holding them as prisioners?
