If I use Bitcoin there is a likelihood that I wish to remain private, compelling users to divulge their bank details for a refund when an order is cancelled doesn't quite sit right with me. Understandably, they are using a payment processor, so all transactions made in bitcoins are immediately converted to fiat, they could however still hold some bitcoins in reserve precisely for this sort of situations.

In this case, privacy when paying with Bitcoin doesn't make much sense, because it's about delivering food to the user's address - but still maybe some could have problems with refund to their bank accounts, because some banks are not crypto friendly. While this is a positive move, many will certainly not like the fact that JustEat uses Bitpay, which still has some silly policy when it comes to fees - overpaying fees and warning that the user risks that the transaction will not be confirmed on time is simply stupid.

I personally would love to have the opportunity for a service like this in my country, regardless of the payment processor and some other minor illogicalities it would be nice to pay for some food with Bitcoin.
