My red Lobster now has mobile terminals that take Apple Pay. The one they had at the front of the house register wasn't working, so they took my phone to the BAH, but the new terminals accept contactless, so hopefully my local one was just a fluke, so I am marking it as accepted.
They used to have those several years ago. Then they removed them. Red Lobster is a hot mess in so many ways. Mediocre food, overpriced menu, and now the back and forth on Apple Pay and nfc payments.
