Amazing! Are you the owner or did you know orangepilled the owner?
Could you share more details about the story, what they use for PoS and what they do with the sats?
Not the owner, just a pleb :-)
But I did help out a bit - such as https://btcmap.org listing, and printing of stickers
I guess Bella Braga are stacking sats, as I've seen them use Muun plus another android wallet.
Nordico are using OpenNode (the CEO there is also from Portugal) and a custom web POS, I don't know if they're auto-converting to Euro.
The problem I've seen with both places is that if they forget to switch to "lightning mode" then you might accidentally send an on-chain transaction. That's always something to look out for.

I already have the btcmap app and check it regularly but so far, almost nothing near my area. I guess I need to travel ;)

We need to tell them to stop using Muun so they can save on fees.

What is the reaction when you ask to pay with bitcoin? Are the waiters confused or give you a look? Do they know the difference between on-chain or lightining? Does it start a conversation?

I guess it's normal now because these transactions are happening every day.
My Portuguese sucks so haven't (yet) tried making a convo with other staff members about it..
My main focus is on-boarding more establishments, so that we can "beat" Porto (who have 4 places on btcmap.org at present)
Bitcoin Braga here we come
