November 9, 2016, has been marked as the day of peculiar events in World history. Not only for Donald J. Trump becoming the President of the USA but Narendra Modi taking the very bold move of demonetizing notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000! In the frenzy of a few hours the entire country was forced to dump their paper notes, hit the panic button and go cashless.
With the minuscule transaction limit and ATMs always out the cash, hysteria took over pretty quickly. As the pockets went dry the Indian market witnessed a significant drop especially restaurant industry. Specifically, the small restaurants, who run on a cash only mode were hit the worst by the demonetization wave.
As there is no undo button on demonetization, more and more people are opting for cashless methods of payment. Even at restaurants and fast food joints, consumers are first confirming the acceptance of card payments or online payments before even considering to dine at the restaurant joint.
