Dine Now, Pay Later: Afterpay moves into Australian hospitality industry

From this week, Australians will be able to use Afterpay to pay for food and beverages at 160 pubs and restaurants around the country. The hospitality group Australian Venue Co has partnered with Afterpay to launch "Dine Now, Pay Later". But that's sparked concern for budgeting service providers on both sides of the Tasman, who are already worried about increased debt as a result of Buy Now, Pay Later services like Afterpay, Humm, Zip and Laybuy.
