They can also just scan the QR code like we see so many people advertising on social right now. Same process (minus maybe privacy). There has to be more value than just how quick the transfer is to get people onboard, since these payment apps are already just as fast. Otherwise, there is no incentive to switch or even consider switching.

Real incentive may come from the restaurant; they can share some or all off credit card processing fee with lightning payers; I believe up to 3%.

Ln address can be encoded as qr code. any wallet that supports paying to ln address?

I always thought this would be a great selling point as well. Restaurant gets instant settlement and they don’t have to wait days to hit their account.

Eliminate the risk of charge backs for the business.

I do think their needs to be a little more incentive for the customer because credit cards are just too convenient. If we just give the same benefit (-3% discount) it’s not enough to incentivize a switch since it’s not 10x better. Maybe something like a high tier rewards program from the business.

Thinking out loud here.
